BAPORSSA's 3-Step Guide: How to Properly Clean and Care for Your Polarized Lenses

Hi there! Let’s be honest, your BAPORSSA polarized sunglasses are an investment—not just in style, but in protecting your eyes. But here’s the secret: the most common way people ruin their expensive shades is by cleaning them wrong.

Think about it: those unique polarized layers and protective coatings are delicate. Wiping them with your shirt is basically like scrubbing them with fine sandpaper!

Don't worry, keeping your lenses crystal clear and scratch-free is actually super easy. Just follow BAPORSSA's simple, 3-step routine. You'll keep that stunning clarity for years!

The Golden Rule: Stop Wiping, Start Rinsing!

Before you touch your lens with anything, you must assume there are tiny dust, dirt, or sand particles sitting on the surface. If you wipe these dry, you will absolutely scratch the lens.

Step 1: The Essential Rinse (The Pre-Wash)

This is the most crucial step, but often skipped!

  1. Use Water: Hold your sunglasses under a stream of lukewarm (not hot!) running water from the tap.

  2. Rinse It Off: Gently let the water wash away all the loose dirt and grit. Do not rub—just let the water do the work.

  3. The Soap Trick (If needed): If your lenses have stubborn sunscreen, makeup, or oil smudges, add a tiny drop of mild, non-lotion dish soap to your fingertips. Gently rub the soap across the lens and frame.

Step 2: The Final Rinse (Get Rid of Residue)

After using soap, or even if you just used water, give the sunglasses a thorough final rinse.

  • Make sure there is zero soap residue left. Any leftover soap will dry and create its own smudge marks.

  • Shake Off Excess Water: Give the frames a gentle shake to shed most of the water before moving to the drying stage.

The illustration shows the three cleaning steps for BAPORSA sunglasses. Step 1: Basic Rinse - Rinse the sunglasses with warm water, optionally using a mild dish soap. Step 2: Final Rinse - Rinse away all residue and shake off excess water. Step 3: Safe Dry - Gently pat dry with a microfiber cloth.

Step 3: The Safe Dry (Only Use the Right Cloth)

Forget paper towels, t-shirts, or napkins—they are far too rough and will leave lint or micro-scratches.

  1. The Hero Cloth: Use only the microfiber cloth that came with your BAPORSSA sunglasses. This material is designed to pick up moisture and oil without scratching.

  2. Gentle Patting/Wiping: Gently pat and lightly wipe the lenses and frame until completely dry.

  3. Inspect: Hold your glasses up to a light source to check for any remaining smudges or streaks.


🚫 Two Big Mistakes to Avoid

Your polarized lenses deserve the best care. Make sure you never do these two things:

Mistake 1: Leaving Them in the Car

Polarized lenses use a very thin film layer. Extreme heat (like the inside of a hot car) can cause this film to bubble, peel, or warp, permanently ruining your lenses.

Mistake 2: Using the Wrong Cleaner

Do not use window cleaner, ammonia-based sprays, or anything containing alcohol on the lenses. These chemicals can slowly eat away at the lens coatings (like anti-scratch or anti-reflective layers), especially on a composite lens like a polarized one.

Keep them clean, keep them cool, and your BAPORSSA lenses will keep your vision clear!
