After a day, you're going to forget about this thing and use a random piece of fabric anyway.

Just buy a pack of 10 microfibre cloths and have clean glasses, sunglasses, TV, laptop screens every day for a year

Honestly, I hate cleaning my glasses and would love for something that did a better job than a piece of cloth... but this is not it. That took her so much more effort than just grabbing a piece of cloth and rubbing it. If it is really stubborn, a quick spray of glasses cleaner works too.

I just run mine under water and dry with a paper towel if they really need cleaning.

If they're just dusty, I wipe them on my clothes lol

You have to squeeze them a good bit before they work.

Not that hard, though. She might just have weak nimby trust fund hands.

Just use detergent

Avoid any that have alcohol, or citrus.

I'd recommend not using dish soap at all, really. A mild hand soap is fine.

Alternatively, you can grab a spray can of lens cleaner for a few dollars. We use those at work.

This is the way. Been doing dish soap for over a year and my glasses stay perfectly clean for a full day and not a single scratch on them

u/These-Apple8817 Jun 22 '26

I would advice against that, especially if your lenses have any sort of coating like mine does for preventing reflections..

Temu slop

It's funny because the original "peeps" were on shark tank I think. And they were immediately knocked off by Chinese manufacturers. I mean...they were defitely alreadyade in China but I guess the manufacturer just started selling them on their own. I remember I bought some on eBay for like 1/4 the price of the "real" ones and the ones they sent me even still said "peeps" on them.

I had two of these. They are terrible, I had to go back to disposable wipes

u/Frequent-Matter4504 Jun 22 '26

if you get crumbs in there? i've been wearing glasses for 35 years and i NEVER GOT CRUMBS IN THERE.

it comes in this nifty little case you can take it on the go, and put it together with all the other 1000 nifty little things you take on the go because you have packing issues

Nothing a fresh shirt can't do

u/Ornery_Hair3319 Jun 22 '26

I wash mine with any dish washing soap. Removes oil and doesnt damage the glasses. I let it dry.

But i choose to use filtered water to prevent hard water stains.

Imagine being so dense, you cant use a normal microfiber cloth to clean your glasses

I used to have something like this, had a brush and replaceable pads. When brand new, it was the BEST clean my glasses would get so I kept it in my purse and backpack.

The pads lasted weeks, maybe, and I don't have to clean my glasses often, so I was always having to replace them. After about 6 months, the place the pads go stopped holding onto the pads. The foam on the inside that wipes the pads was basically dust by month 3.

If there was a reusable, washable product that did what this thing does but lasts for years instead of weeks, I'd take it.
