This is a pet peeve of mine.
I'll sooner walk around semi blind before staring at the smudges.
I got some new button up shirts (they are fishing shirts) and the bottom of the button up part has a glasses cleaning cloth built into the shirt.
Aren't all parts of a shirt suitable as a cleaning cloth?
Good question! No! Most t-shirts work well, but button-up shirts are often not soft, pliable, or absorbable enough to really function well for glasses cleaning (IMO, anyway).
You aren’t likely to scratch the glasses (glass is very hard), but you kinda just move the smudges around and make them worse with certain fabrics. I want either a nice mostly-cotton blend, or a nice thick microfiber cloth (microfiber is not created equal, and some are practically useless).
Maybe I’m just picky. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks for a surprisingly in-depth answer! I very rarely wear proper shirts, which I think explains my assumptions.
Also although you will have a hard(-ish) time scratching the glass by using a good shirt if you have any kind of coating on your glasses (such as a blue filter or anti-reflex coating or whatever) you CAN easily scratch those (usually)!
I (almost) never use a t-shirt to clean my glasses, but once tried the internal lining of my jacket since it looks like a coarser version of the cloth that came with my glasses. The result wasn't the same but it was still good.
Some shirts have a small micro fibre cleaning cloth (like the one in your glasses case) sewn into them.
That’s what he’s talking about.
I know. I was responding to smeg who was asking if all parts of the shirt can be used as a cleaning cloth.
This is why I have around 5 thousand cleaning cloths distrubuted around the house and car. Never a smudged glass.
