How to Care for Your Microfiber Eyeglass Cleaning Cloth

Your Z Clear microfiber cleaning cloth is a precision tool designed to safely and effectively clean your lenses. With proper care, your cloth will last for hundreds of cleanings — keeping your glasses, goggles, and lenses spotlessly clean every time.

Washing Your Microfiber Cloth

• Machine Washable – Wash your microfiber cloth in the washing machine on a gentle cycle using warm water (not hot)
• Use Mild Detergent – Use a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and dryer sheets — they coat the microfibers and reduce effectiveness
• Wash Separately – Wash your cloth separately or with other microfiber items to prevent lint transfer from cotton or other fabrics
• Air Dry or Tumble Dry Low – Air drying is best, but you can use a low-heat dryer setting. Avoid high heat which can damage the microfibers

Everyday Handling Tips

• Keep your cloth in a clean, sealed pouch or case when not in use to prevent dust and debris from accumulating
• Rinse your cloth with clean water if it becomes heavily soiled before using it on your lenses
• Never use your cloth to wipe dirty or gritty lenses dry — rinse the lens first to remove abrasive particles that can cause scratches
• Replace your cloth when it shows signs of wear, fraying, or no longer absorbs and cleans effectively

Why Use a Microfiber Cloth?

Microfiber cloths are the safest material for cleaning optical lenses. Unlike paper towels, tissues, or shirt fabrics — which are coarse at the microscopic level and can cause micro-scratches — microfiber's ultra-fine fibers gently lift oils, dust, and smudges without abrasion.

Pair your microfiber cloth with Z Clear anti-fog lens cleaner for the ultimate lens care combination — streak-free, fog-free, scratch-free results every time.
