How do you clean your glasses and the microfiber cloth used to clean your glasses? (lemmy.ml)

I have been cleaning my glasses using bathroom tissue as I had thought it was softer than microfiber cloth, but apparently that's not true.

I don't want to use microfiber cloth as it can easily accommodate in silica or any other dust particles if not cleaned properly which will scratch my glass. I don't know what to do in this case. So, how do you clean your glasses?

The best way to clean glasses is with your fingers using warm water and dish soap. Don't use super hot water, it can damage the coatings on some lenses. Start with a rinse to remove any particles, then clean them between your fingers, then a final rinse, shake them off and let them air dry.

Using any type of cloth can cause scratches as you've found.

I just end up with water droplet "stains" on my lenses like that, obscruing my lenses until I physically wipe them with something.

Dry them with a Kimwipe. It's what they're made for and they're really good at it.
