- Don't forget to clean your microfiber cloth regularly so that the dust sticking to the fabric does not scratch the lens of your glasses.
Glasses cleaning fluid is available in various sizes that can be tailored to your needs. So you should, provide some reserves for various occasions. For example, in a larger house while also storing in small bottles that can be stored in a bag when traveling.

After cleaning, always put the glasses on the glasses when not in use. Besides being able to prevent damage to the glasses, this also helps to keep the lens from being scratched easily.
If you do not have a glasses holder, be sure to always put the glasses in a safe place and do not put them with the lens facing down.
