I use special glass cleaning fluid, water makes a good substitution if needed. I generally try to keep my TV's, Monitor, Laptop etc all clean and especially my house windows as they tend to get dirty fairly quickly. It's awkward sometimes when you can't get rid of a stain or a mark, that's why I use special cleaning fluid, I know it mostly contains water but it generally is much better than anything else I have tried.

I use water and a soft towel. Also have a special solution the optical shop gave me that works well. My glasses are relatively new. My eyelashes are long so they drag on my glasses if they don't fit well. Can be annoying and leave some blur spots on them if I don't clean them a couple of times a day. Soap leaves film on my glasses. I don't always were glasses because am also a contact lens wearer. Depends on the day and what I will be doing.

I lost my glasses years ago and keep "forgetting" to get new ones.... But I am a bartender and one of our little "duties" is to clean customers glasses (it is an old fashioned thing). depending on how bad they are, I will use soda water, but for really bad ones, I use gin. It works like a dream!

For me it depends on the situation. I would say that I typically wash my glasses with the t-shirt that I am wearing. However, there are times that my glasses are quite dirty and I don't have anything else with me so I will exhale on them to get them a little damp and then I will use my t-shirt. Finally, I will give them a pretty full cleaning at least once a week and I do have a bottle of glasses cleaner that I will use in those situations.

I wear contacts and glasses, but mostly glasses because contacts are so expensive, and I want to make them last longer. So for my glasses I use these cleaning wipes called Nice 'n Clean. They are premoistened lens wipes, and they work great. I buy them at Walmart, and they are really cheap. A lot of them come in one box, so I get a lot for my money.

I only wear sunglasses and I don't really take very good care of the lenses. Whenever I get in the car I will give them a quick wipe with my shirt or jumper or whatever I am wearing. Sometimes I'll use a tissue If I have a clean one handy. No matter how much I breathe on them and wipe them, I still can't seem to be able to get rid of the smudges. I have no idea where they come from and they are so anoying! I guess I should invest in some proper glasses cleaners. I'm thinking those lense cleaners are made from the same stuff as a car chamois so I might buy one of those and cut a little bit out to keep in my bag for when I need to clean my sunnies.

Hmm... my glasses has a case and with the case includes a small cloth mainly for cleaning of my glasses.
But if i got lazy on getting that cloth, if i am wearing a cotton shirt - i would use it to clean my glasses. the bottom part on the inside just to avoid in scratches in my eye glasses. =)

I'm not sure which type of glasses you are talking about. If it is eye glasses then I will clean them with soap and water and dry them with a towel. If it is drinking glasses then I will clean them with dish soap and water with a dishcloth and let them air dry or I will put them in the dishwasher.

Hi cher! I usually just clean my glasses with a tiny bit of
soap and water with a cloth! I used to have lens cleaner that my
mother gave me, but I spilled the bottle out! I really need to
get new glasses this month and when I do I am going to invest
in some better "lens cleaner"! I will ask the place that I get
the glasses from what they recommend because I really don't
want to scratch the lens and the plastic lens do scratch very
easily!

I usually just clean my glasses (spectacles) with a tissue or my T-shirt or something! But I have tried the special sprays or impregnated clothes and they do work better.

If you mean eye glasses? I typically just use my tshirt which is typically just a regular cotton shirt. If they get really smudged up or dirty for whatever reason, I will clean them with soap and water and typically I'll dry them off with a paper towel. I used to have a fancy special cloth that was made for cleaning eye glasses that I got at the eye doctor one time, but I lost it. I never use tissues or toilet paper to clean my eye glasses because I've been told that can scratch them up.

a cotton t-shirt or like another had said if it's greasy maybe have to run it under the faucet or ??? Now if we are talking about my daughter she'll need atleast soap or window cleaner I have no idea how she can see thru all those greasy fingerprints & smudges.

If it's just a quick cleaning, I'll use my shirt or my jacket, but when I want to get them nice and clear, I'll wipe them off with that super-soft cloth that they came with. It's really nice to touch... ^_^
