Proper Care for Your Sunglasses
As with any quality product, proper care will enhance and prolong the usefulness of your sunglasses and protect your investment. Your sunglasses are coated on the backside of the lens with an anti-reflective (A/R) coating which is essential in eliminating glare and is one of the three elements that make up our patented design.
For optimum performance, rinse your sunglasses daily in warm water. Use a mild liquid dish soap to wash each lens surface if necessary. Dry using a clean, soft, absorbent cloth. Do not use paper-based products to clean your lenses. Do not use abrasive cleaners, soaps or detergents that may leave a deposit on the lens. Do not use tissues with added lotions, lanolin, silicone or other cleaners; they will leave a film on the lens.
The multiple coatings on your lenses are resistant to light scratching, however heavy, abusive scratching can break through the coatings and cause visible marks. Significantly help prolong the life of your lenses by removing dirt and other particles with good cleaning practices and keep your sunglasses in their case while not in use. Good cleaning practices will also help minimize scratching.
To reduce the chances of dropping your sunglasses on surfaces that may scratch your lenses, you might consider investing in a pair of sunglass retainer cords to keep them secure while wearing them.
Clean cloths are a great way to keep your sunglasses clean and smudge free. We recommend you frequently launder your clean cloth to keep if free of debris, dirt and oils that could damage your lenses. Wash in warm soapy water. Do not use fabric softener as this may leave a film on your lenses.
All new sunglasses purchased from Maui Jim include one cleaning cloth and a protective case, but if either of yours are lost or damaged, you can purchase replacements here.
Il calore eccessivo può deteriorare le lenti o deformare la montatura in nylon. Non posizionate gli occhiali da sole dove si prevede un calore eccessivo, per esempio sul cruscotto dell'auto.
L'acqua dura contiene livelli elevati di minerali disciolti, in particolare calcio e magnesio. È ammorbidita con l'aggiunta di sodio durante il processo di filtraggio. Tra gli esempio più comuni ricordiamo l'acqua della piscina e l'acqua non filtrata, come quella degli irrigatori. L'acqua dura può essere nociva per gli occhiali da sole, in quanto lascia macchie bianche sulle lenti una volta asciugate. Per evitarle, risciacquate semplicemente gli occhiali da sole o da vista con acqua filtrata (del rubinetto) e asciugate con un panno pulito.
Certain common household chemicals will react negatively with the frame material and the metal oxides used on the coatings of your lenses. Avoid contact with acetone (nail polish remover), caustic solutions (such as glass or other ammonia based cleaners), hair sprays containing methylene (listed on label), chlorine (from swimming pools or unfiltered water) or glue.
All Maui Jim sunglasses are saltwater safe and corrosion resistant. As with "hard" water, we suggest you rinse off any sunglass with filtered (tap) water, and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
We recommend that you visit your local sunglass retailer periodically to have them tighten the eye wire screws, attached temples and nose bridge.
