Best Glasses Cleaners in the UK

Vius Lens Cleaners are gentle yet effective. Its quick-acting formula easily cleans sensitive optical lenses (including sunglasses, prescription eyeglasses, and camera lenses), all while making sure that the solution does not leave behind streaks and unwanted residue. To add more, the product excels at removing fingerprints, dust, and oil buildups without adding the usual nauseating fragrance that glasses cleaners normally entail. But the biggest difference here is that the solution not only cleans lenses but also adds this protective layer that makes the lens more resistant against scratches. Setting lenses aside, the formula's pretty gentle towards the skin too, especially when you compare the product with lens cleaners that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Sometimes, you can have the best solution with the best formulas but the bottle does not quite comply, making the overall product that much less attractive. This is not the case here. No, the 8-ounce spray bottle enables easily controlled application, even though the cap is not that tight, so we would recommend making sure that the bottle is stored upright. Taking into account that this cleaning kit includes 4 spray bottles (~240 ml each) and 2 microfibre cloths, the whole package becomes almost too appealing.

Leader Pump Action Lens Cleaning Sprays easily land among the industry's leaders. Even though the industry in question is not that huge, this is still a pretty impressive accomplishment considering that the product is also quite affordable. Whilst most companies are shipping you bulky bottles that you cannot easily take with you, this kit provides 4 spray bottles, ~30 millilitres each. As you can imagine, you can easily bring a bottle like that with you to work, on a trip, anywhere you want. Furthermore, the applicators on these bottles are sealed tight, so you don't have to worry about them leaking during storage or transportation.

From the formula angle, the solution is alcohol-free, meaning no unpleasant smells. That being said, there's still this specific smell to the product that most cleaning agents entail but the smell goes away pretty quickly. Plus, on the bright side, you can treat even anti-reflective lenses without scratching them.

We would not suggest cleaning camera lenses using these bottles but most spectacles (including sunglasses and reading glasses) and glasses are fair play. In other words, those bespectacled ladies and gentlemen that travel quite frequently will appreciate Leader Pump Action Lens Cleaning Sprays.

Vius Lens Cleaners is pretty much the same product that tops this list except that, with this one, you receive 2 spray bottles, not 4, and 1 microfibre cloth, not 2. Needless to say, most customers that are buying these cleaners for personal use will find this particular kit more suitable, whereas those that have more commercial purposes in mind should probably go with the option above this one.

Besides that, again, this is the same solution, enabling you to easily clean eyeglasses, camera lenses (including anti-reflective lenses), and jewellery, with its anti-static properties reducing static electricity buildups. The lint-free microfibre cloth is pretty great too though, removing even the tiniest dust particles without scratching the lenses and without leaving unwanted streaks.

Except for the convenient applicators and the effective formula, what separates the company's products is that the solutions are always formulated without volatile organic compounds, ammonia, sulfates, phosphates, alcohol, and 100% biodegradable, making them safe and easy on the skin and on the environment as well. Considering these details, you can see why most bespectacled individuals are sticking with Vius Lens Cleaners.

Ecomoist Natural Lens Cleaner will leave all lenses (including spectacles, binoculars, camera lenses, telescopes, and microscopes) dust-, dirt-, stain-, grease-, and fingerprint-free. Even coated lenses can be easily restored using this product. Unlike most cleaning agents, this solution is eco-friendly, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic. Formulated without adding harsh chemicals, ammonia, alcohol, harsh fumes, and volatile organic compounds, the product can be used around kids and pets without any concerns about their safety.

What's more interesting though is that you can choose between 50-, 100-, 250-, and 500-millilitre bottles, so you can purchase a large, 250-/500-millilitre bottle for home use and a small, 50-millilitre bottle for use on the road/on the go. You can also choose between different wipes to go with these bottles, which would not be the worst choice since the default microfibre cloth that the product is shipped with can leave deposits on the glass. On the upside, the quick-drying formula takes somewhere around 15-30 seconds to dry out, so you can clean the glasses and start using them almost immediately.

In short, Ecomoist Natural Lens Cleaner is the best option for people who usually have pets and/or kids around them.

HG Glasses Cleaner is the cheapest product we could find that does not trail that much behind its more expensive competition. Now, the entire product is not necessarily that great, primarily due to the bottle that can leak at times, so we would recommend making sure that the bottle is stored upright. But the solution inside that bottle is nothing to sneeze at. To begin with, it is even more versatile than the more expensive cleaners, treating not only reading glasses and sunglasses but also camera lenses, magnifying glasses, tablets, smartphones, TV screens, and monitors.

Not unlike those more expensive cleaners, this product is formulated without alcohol. But what's more impressive is that, aside from cleaning glasses, the solution also prevents them from steaming up, something that you cannot quite say about most cleaners. What you also cannot say about most cleaners is that they're able to remove the toughest stains without affecting the coating.

When you also add to the mix that the solution takes no more than 15-20 seconds to dry out (without forgetting that the 125-millilitre bottle costs around 6 bucks and how versatile this cleaning agent is), HG Glasses Cleaner becomes the product to beat.
