Ultrasonic cleaners are true all-rounders when it comes to the gentle and thorough cleaning of optical items such as glasses, sunglasses, magnifiers and other reading aids. Opticians and even ophthalmologists have been using ultrasonic technology for many years for professional spectacle lens cleaning. In contrast to other glass cleaning products, ultrasound meets various requirements. Only glasses with a special coating should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath. In today's blog post, we explain the advantages of cleaning your glasses with an ultrasonic cleaner.
Cleaning glasses with ultrasound
Cleaning your glasses with an ultrasonic device offers several advantages. The greatest advantage is primarily that the ultrasonic cleaning of your spectacle lenses is completed within seconds. If your glasses are heavily soiled, cleaning in the ultrasonic bath can take between 1 to 2 minutes. After drying, your glasses look like new. However, the brilliant thing about ultrasonic cleaning is that not only the lenses become hygienically clean and sparkling, but also the frame.
As you can see, the ultrasonic cleaning of your glasses is much more effective than the conventional method with a spectacle cleaning cloth. In addition, you not only save yourself a trip to the optician, but also do something good for the environment in the long term. No cloths, no waste.
With an ultrasonic device, you not only clean your glasses thoroughly and hygienically, but you also own a device that can be used in a versatile and flexible way for cleaning other household items in everyday life.
Note: If you have glasses with a special coating, ask your optician if you can clean them in an ultrasonic device. Also, for glasses with an embellished frame or made of natural materials such as horn, you should seek the advice of a specialist beforehand.
How to clean your glasses with ultrasound
The ultrasonic cleaning device is filled with liquid, preferably distilled water and a special cleaning concentrate (e.g. EM-80). Then place your glasses in the designated cleaning basket. You can find the device settings for cleaning glasses in the description.
Inside the ultrasonic cleaning device, your glasses are cleaned by ultrasonic waves in combination with the ultrasonic cleaner. Micro-fine vibrations triggered by ultrasound even remove the finest dirt and dust particles from your spectacle lenses. The sound waves also hygienically clean the spectacle frame. Effective ultrasonic cleaning also removes dirt particles in places that cannot be removed using conventional cleaning agents such as spectacle cleaning cloths. In particular, the connecting pieces between the temples and the spectacle lens as well as very angular areas of your spectacle frame are cleaned by ultrasound and existing dirt is removed without leaving any residue.
Advantages of cleaning glasses with an ultrasonic device
With an ultrasonic device, you can hygienically clean your glasses. Neither the lenses nor the frame of your glasses are affected by the cleaning process using ultrasonic waves. As a glasses wearer, you have probably often been annoyed by lint, streaks and other residues on your spectacle lenses when cleaning with a conventional spectacle cleaning cloth. It is not uncommon for the lenses to appear "blind" in places after conventional cleaning with a cloth.
Cleaning your glasses with a professional ultrasonic device removes the finest dirt particles and cleans your spectacle lenses sparkling clear. Look forward to clean glasses every day, as good as new. Treat yourself to the cleaning performance you are otherwise only used to from your optician.
Note: To protect your spectacle lenses from scratches, you should use the basket insert for every cleaning process.
