Why do microfiber towels clean lenses better than virtually any other fabric?

528 views

I wear glasses. I have a terrible habit of touching them all the time, so they’re often smudged/dirty. I’m admittedly just SO bad at cleaning them, and it’s basically a lost cause unless I have a microfiber cloth. What makes them so special for cleaning lenses over other materials?

Imagine your lenses are like a playground full of tiny, tiny dirt particles. Microfiber towels are like a team of tiny, friendly octopuses. Each octopus has lots of arms that can reach out and grab the dirt particles from the playground.

Other fabrics are like crabs with fewer and bigger arms. They can’t grab as many dirt particles, so they’re not as good at cleaning.
