Cleaning and Maintenance

Dust and dirt particles can accumulate on vintage sunglasses, affecting both their appearance and functionality.

To remove such particles, gently wipe the lenses and frames of your glasses with a microfibre cloth.

Microfibre cloths are designed to be soft and non-abrasive, ensuring that your lenses remain scratch-free. Avoid using paper towels, tissues or your clothing, as these materials can potentially damage the delicate surfaces of your vintage eyewear.

Storage

Proper storage is crucial for preserving the shape and condition of your vintage sunglasses. When not in use, store them in a sturdy, protective case.

Avoid leaving your vintage sunglasses exposed to sunlight, extreme heat or moisture, as these elements can cause fading, warping, or deterioration of the frame material.

Regular Inspections

Periodically inspect your vintage sunglasses for signs of wear, loose screws or misaligned frames. All of these factors can affect the fit and comfort of the eyewear.

If you notice any issues, consult a professional eyewear technician for repairs. Attempting to fix the sunglasses yourself, especially if you lack experience, can lead to further damage.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

When cleaning your vintage sunglasses, refrain from using harsh chemicals, alcohol-based solutions or ammonia-based cleaners. These substances can damage the lenses, frames and coatings.

Instead, opt for a mild, non-abrasive soap mixed with lukewarm water. Gently clean the lenses and frames with a soft microfiber cloth soaked in the soapy solution. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soapy residue and pat dry with a clean cloth.

Avoid Excessive Force

Vintage sunglasses, while often durable, are not indestructible. Avoid bending or twisting the frames, as this can weaken the structure and lead to breakage.

When putting on or taking off your sunglasses, handle them with care. Use both hands to ensure even pressure and reduce stress on the frames, and avoid resting them on your head when not in use as this can both stretch the ear pieces and put them at risk of falling and becoming damaged.

Professional Restoration

If your vintage sunglasses require extensive restoration, seek the expertise of professionals.

These experts have the skills and tools to repair and refurbish vintage eyewear, including frame reshaping, hinge repairs and lens replacements. Investing in professional restoration can significantly extend the lifespan of your vintage sunglasses and preserve their historical value.
