MDC 5,891 Posted February 26, 2020 Finally had to get reading glasses since every normal sized font became a smear on the page and my 7 y/o son was correcting me when I read to him. These things are chronically smudged. What do you wipe them down with? Everything seems to dry weird or leave smudges. Wtf? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted February 26, 2020 Baby wipes suck, the little wipes from Costco or whatever suck too. Best thing? A computer screen 'cleaning' cloth. Not even close. Pro tip.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted February 27, 2020 Two ways. The right way, and the ghetto way. The right way... Microfiber lens cleaning cloth paired with a bottle of specifically made lens cleaner. Ghetto way, which works surprisingly well, but may or may not strip the fancy coatings off the lenses... Get them wet under the sink. Wash with dishsoap. Rinse. Dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
