As a glasses wearer, one of my daily annoyances is keeping them clean. Every time I’m out and about, I eventually notice smudges and fingerprints in my peripheral vision. While the glasses cloth that came with my specs is somewhat decent, I’ve stumbled across a total gamechanger: the Koala Eyeglass Lens Cleaner Spray Kit.
For just $8, you can get a Japanese microfiber cloth and 2-ounce bottle of Koala’s precision lens cleaner spray, which has garnered over 43,000 5-star ratings for its cleaning abilities. Made in the USA, the spray is alcohol- and fragrance-free, with the brand describing it as “obsessively engineered” to be gentle on glasses while leaving them streak-free. It uses lab-grade, ultra-purified water and plant-based surfuctants to get the job done even on lenses with advanced coatings.
The cloth, meanwhile, is six times denser than standard cloths and can capture and hold microscopic particles for a fuller clean. The cloth is hand-washable, and reviewers assured that the cloth keeps its effectiveness after multiple washes.
I bought the four-piece set of smaller bottles to test out for myself, and quickly became obsessed with how clean the spray and cloth left my glasses. I had mostly been dry-wiping with a standard, thinner glasses cloth before then, which over time has scratched my lenses while still not managing to give me a crystal-clear clean. The spray and cloth together delivered, without a single scratch on my lenses.
