How to Clean and Maintain Your Pickleball Eyewear (Essential Guide)

Taking care of your pickleball eyewear is essential for maintaining its performance and longevity. Whether you’re wearing prescription or non-prescription lenses, proper cleaning and storage will keep them in top shape, ensuring you enjoy a clear and safe game every time. In this guide, we’ll show you the right ways to clean and care for your glasses, including tips on avoiding common mistakes that can damage your lenses.

1. Why Proper Cleaning Matters

Pickleball glasses take on a lot during each match, from sweat to dirt and everything in between. While it might seem tempting to wipe them off with a shirt or towel, that can lead to long-term scratches. Fabric, especially those on shirts and towels, can carry microfibers that act like sandpaper on your lenses. Over time, this can lead to fine scratches that diminish clarity and performance.

At Blinded Wear Co., we understand the importance of preserving your eyewear, which is why we provide high-quality microfiber cloths with every pair. These cloths are specifically designed to clean your lenses without causing any harm. Always use them to gently wipe down your lenses after each use to keep them spotless.

2. How to Clean Your Eyewear Properly

To properly clean your pickleball eyewear, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Rinse with water – Gently rinse your glasses under lukewarm water to remove any loose dirt or debris. Avoid hot water, as it can damage the frame or coating.

  • Step 2: Use mild soap – Apply a small amount of mild dish soap to a clean microfiber cloth. Gently scrub both the lenses and frame, making sure to clean all areas.

  • Step 3: Dry with a microfiber cloth – After rinsing off any soap, use your microfiber cloth to dry your eyewear. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or your shirt, as these can leave scratches.

  • Step 4: Storage – When not in use, store your eyewear in a hard case to protect against dirt and potential damage. Keeping your glasses in a hot place, such as in your car under direct sunlight, can warp the frame or cause lens distortion over time.

3. Avoid Common Eyewear Mistakes

While cleaning is important, storing your eyewear correctly is just as crucial to prolong its life. Here are a few tips on how to avoid common mistakes:

  • Don't Use Fabric Shirts for Wiping: As mentioned earlier, shirts or towels can contain fibers that scratch your lenses. Always use the included microfiber cloth to clean your eyewear.

  • Keep Your Glasses Out of the Sun: Avoid leaving your eyewear in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods. Heat can cause the frame to warp, and the lens coating may deteriorate over time. Always store your glasses in a cool, dry place when not in use.

  • Mind the Frames: If your pickleball eyewear has adjustable nose pads or temples, check them regularly to ensure they haven’t shifted or loosened over time. A little maintenance can go a long way in ensuring the perfect fit.
