Best glasses cleaners: Top products for keeping your specs smudge-free tried and tested

This bulk pack contains 100 individually wrapped wipes, meaning you can stuff them into your bags and pockets so you’re ready for cleaning on the go. The gentle and effective unscented sheets are made from a streak-free, quick-drying formula that is safe to use on coated lenses as well as delicate glass, like tech gadgets and camera lenses.

Keep fragile and essential glass surfaces free from smears and smudges with Opticlear’s silicone-coated wipes, which come in a box of 200. The individually wrapped sachets have been dipped in a low-alcohol formula, making them safe to be used on glass that sits close to the eye, and with an anti-fog formula you can bid farewell to annoying fogging when wearing a face mask. They’ll even work on old glasses that need polishing up.

Forget fiddling with cloths and faffing with sprays: this cleaner uses carbon to make glasses unbelievably clear. This NASA-approved technology has been used to clean glass in space missions, in places that famously need to remain liquid-free.

A small brush on the opposite end will help remove lodged dust and particles caught between nose pads or the lens and your frames. The carbon tips remain effective for up to 500 uses; simply swipe back and forth to clean. Once you get through those, the replacement pads offer 1000 uses.

With no chemicals or disposable elements, they’re better for the environment and the compact design comes in myriad colours.

Trying to instil good cleaning habits in your kids? For children who wear glasses, encouragement is delivered in the form of these fun 18cm x 15cm microfibre cloths. The three-piece set is covered in bright patterns and works hard at lifting grease and splatters off the glass effectively. Simply add to your washing load when they need a clean.

Made from 100 per cent recycled materials, this cleaning cloth is an excellent addition to your eyewear accessories. The soft cloth will polish up glasses a treat and comes patterned with specs as a playful addition.

The hi-tech way to deep clean your glasses? Using ultrasonic, of course. This clever gadget offers an intensive level of cleaning using ultrasonic waves with a frequency of up to 45khz to strip dirt and grime from glass without damaging it. It also works on watches, makeup brushes, jewellery and dentures! Simply add water, switch on and watch it go.

For those occasions when your glasses need a deeper clean, call in Zeiss. The cleaning sprays should be used with a soft cloth - a microfibre will do - and will eliminate dirt and grease with a few spritzes. The fast-drying formula promises a streak-free finish that won’t scratch delicate glass or plastic. As well as glasses, use the cleaner on ski goggles, microscopes, phones and camera lenses without worry.

Blurred vision on the slopes spells disaster. Get to the apres part of your next ski trip safely by polishing your lenses with Zeiss’s anti-fog formula, which is included in this kit along with a travel polishing cloth. This works a little differently from regular cleaners in that it must be applied to clean, dry glass and then buffed until dry to apply the anti-fog properties. Once the effect has worn off, reapply using the same cloth.

The brand recommends not washing the included cloth for longer-lasting results so keep it in a dust-free case so it remains cleaner for longer.

Swapping a cloth for pincer-like cleaning pads allows you to zone in on areas that need cleaning without spreading the mess to other parts of your glasses. This set comes with 30ml of cleaning fluid as well as a small brush, eyeglass accessories and even a three-in-one screwdriver to keep your specs properly maintained.
