How to care for and clean my glasses by Filtral?

Make sure that the glasses are stored with the glass side up to a suitable and fixed location so that they are stored safely and close at hand. For storage, get yourself a practical glasses case. Avoid exposing the glasses to extreme temperatures, such as e.g. quickly on the shelf in the car right under the windshield.

Clean the lenses with a soft cloth, preferably with a lens cloth made from microfiber. Do not use paper towels because they will scratch the lenses. Wash your glasses in warm water with mild soap and pat the glasses dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
