Stainless steel is rust-resistant, but prolonged exposure to sweat (which contains salt), cosmetics (which contain alcohol), hairspray, or skincare products may cause discolouration or wear on the coating.
Remove your glasses before applying makeup or using hairspray.
After exercising, immediately wipe off sweat from the frames with a tissue, then clean as usual.
When not in use, store the frames in a hard case to prevent scratches from keys, coins, or other objects.
Avoid storing them in humid environments (such as bathrooms) or direct sunlight to slow down aging.
Check the screws at the hinges weekly for loosening and tighten them with a small screwdriver (avoid over-tightening, which may damage the threads).
If the frame is deformed (e.g., slipping or uneven fit), consult an optometrist for professional adjustment—do not forcefully bend it, as stainless steel may crack.
Do not use steel wool, hard-bristle brushes, or sandpaper, as these can scratch the surface.
Avoid using alcohol, ammonia, or acidic cleaners (such as glass cleaners or bleach) — these can corrode the protective coating and cause rust.
Minor rust spots: Gently sand with fine-grit sandpaper, then apply a small amount of Vaseline to seal the area (wipe off any excess).
Plating wear: If the gold/black plating has faded, contact the manufacturer or optician for re-plating services.
By following these steps, your stainless steel eyeglass frames will remain durable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing for years to come.
