Buy a better microfiber cloth.

I like the 3M electronics cloths. They cost about $5 each
for a good size cloth -- I use them for delicates like
cameras, LCD screens and a piano.

I have 3 or 4 and the oldest one must have been through
the washing machine several dozens of times and is still
perfectly servicable. It's not torn, shredded, or frayed
even a tiny bit.

I wash mine by hand. I let it soak in a bowl of water with a couple of
drop of dishwashing detergent then rinse it out and let dry. Because
of my diabetes I have to get an eye exam twice a year and they give me
a new cloth every visit. Im getting a collection.

I got small cloths for cleaning when I got my last pair of new
glasses. They are made from something like sateen ... I have a
solution of ammonia water and alcohol in a bottle that foams when it
comes out. The bottle originally contained some kind of soap...
Anyway, I use the foam to wash the lens, rinse well and dry with the
lint free cloth. Does not leave scratches on the lens.

Yes, I bought mine retail at different times. Try Office
Depot or Radio Shack.

The part number is 3M #9027

If you're into photography, they also work as an 18% grey card!
I tested the thing against a WhiBal and it was pretty much
identical.

Free hint- NEVER lean over a campfire or backyard cleanup fire wearing
coated glasses. Those fancy coatings are NOT heat resistant, and they
will alligator in seconds. C'mon, ask me how I know that.


Also dog saliva...

Tekkie Don't bother to thank me, I do this as a public service.

Vapors from household bleach seem to do it, too.

I wash my glasses in the shower with the same soap that I use on my
skin.
Works great. Of course, if they get dirty in the middle of the day, I
usually
resort to saliva and the tail of my t-shirt.
