5 Easy Steps to Clean and Care for Your Safety Lenses
The number one reason for scratched lenses is improper cleaning. The second reason is poor handling and storage of safety eyewear.
Sound familiar?
The best way to make sure your eyewear is long-lasting and high-performing is through proper care, cleaning, and storage.
Take a moment to think about how you clean and care for your safety eyewear, then take a look at how you can best clean and care for your safety eyewear with these five steps.
Five Steps to Properly Clean and Care for Your Safety Lenses
Step 1: Lightly blow off any loose dirt or debris from your lenses.
Step 2: Rinse your lenses with cool water.
Step 3: If you have an eyewear cleaning station at work, spray the cleaning solution directly onto the lenses.
Step 4: Use a lens-safe tissue provided at the cleaning station to dry and wipe clean. Let the lenses air dry before re-wearing.
Important: If you don’t have an eyewear tissue dispensing or cleaning station, use a soft microfiber cloth or eyewear approved tissue to dry the lens after rinsing off with water. If using HexArmor® safety eyewear, only use HexArmor® cleaning products to clean lenses. This is essential to preserving the performance of TruShield® anti-fog coatings.
Step 5: If you’re not immediately putting the safety eyewear on, store it in a secure spot like a locker, or in a pouch. Never put unprotected safety eyewear in your pocket.
