Beware of warm temperatures: Particularly hot temperatures can cause serious damage to your glasses, especially on the car dashboard. Therefore, be sure to keep your sports glasses in a case in a safe place.
Stay away from handkerchiefs & co: Although paper handkerchiefs and clothing would be practical and useful for cleaning, they should never be used for this matter.
