Daily protocol

A four-step lens cleaning routine

Follow these steps each day to avoid micro-abrasions and coating delamination. Gentle, consistent handling matters more than strong products.

01 Rinse

Rinse lenses under lukewarm running water to loosen dust and grit before any contact.

02 Lather

Apply a drop of mild, pH-neutral soap and rub both sides with fingertips, never with cloth.

03 Rinse again

Rinse thoroughly so no soap residue remains on the coating or in the hinges.

04 Air dry

Shake off droplets and let air dry, or pat gently with a clean microfiber cloth.

For a deeper clean, an ultrasonic bath loosens debris from frame joints and lens edges. Use lukewarm water and a mild solution, keep cycles short, and never submerge frames with loose parts or damaged coatings.

Frame care

Protect the mechanics of your frame

Heat and storage

Keep acetate frames away from hot dashboards and radiators. Heat can warp temples, so store glasses in a hard case when not worn.

Screws and hinges

Check screws every few weeks with a small screwdriver. Tighten gently, since over-tightening can strip the threads or crack the frame.

Nose pads

Clean nose pads regularly to limit oil buildup, and replace them when they crack, slip, or leave marks on the skin.

Acetate temples benefit from occasional care with a damp cloth. When a frame sits badly, pinches, or sits off-center, a professional bench adjustment by a qualified optician is the right step.
