As a glasses wearer, one of my daily annoyances is keeping them clean. Every time I’m out and about, I eventually notice smudges and fingerprints in my peripheral vision. While the glasses cloth that came with my specs is somewhat decent, it seems the glasses wearers of Amazon have stumbled across a total gamechanger: the Koala Eyeglass Lens Cleaner Spray Kit.
For just $8, you can get a Japanese microfiber cloth and 2-ounce bottle of Koala’s precision lens cleaner spray, which has garnered over 41,000 5-star reviews for its cleaning abilities. Made in the USA, the spray is alcohol- and fragrance-free, with the brand describing it as “obsessively engineered” to be gentle on glasses while leaving them streak-free. It uses lab-grade, ultra-purified water and plant-based surfuctants to get the job done even on lenses with advanced coatings.
The cloth, meanwhile, is six times denser than standard cloths and and can capture and hold microscopic particles for a fuller clean. The cloth is hand-washable, and reviewers assured that the cloth keeps its effectiveness after multiple washes.
But beyond glasses, sunglasses and camera lenses, the Koala kit has so many other uses potential uses: Reviewers shared how the cleaning spray restored their phone screens to “brand-new condition,” while others gushed about its ability to clean everything from car rearview mirrors to laptop screens, tablets, VR headsets and the LCD screens of sewing machines.
One reviewer went so far as to call the lens cleaner “witchcraft,” claiming they even wanted to use it on their windshield, while another wondered if it was “sorcery.” Yet another marveled at how it’s “like a magic trick” for smudged glasses, and said the 2-ounce bottle was still going strong even after a year of their whole family using it.
You can buy a two-, four- or six-piece set to get as many spray bottles and cloths as you need. All the cloths are the same size (though the four- and six-piece sets introduce a green one in addition to the standard black). The four-piece set includes two 2-ounce bottles, while the six-piece has one 2-ounce bottle and two 8-ounce bottles. All of the sets are under $16. You could stash one bottle and cloth in your car’s glove compartment, one in your work bag, one in a travel bag, one on the nightstand… the list goes on.
For just $8, what do you have to lose? Check out some more amazed reviews for the Koala kit below, or just go ahead and buy it for yourself.
“Okay look, I read reviews religiously and rarely ever write my own. And still no matter how many five star reviews I read, I am absolutely always still skeptical. That being said, I legitimately want to try spraying this on every glass anything I own because it works so well. I honestly think witchcraft may have been involved in the manufacturing of this product? Obviously I don’t care, I only wish the people in my life were as efficient as this product. Seriously, you’re an idiot if you buy something else.” — Des
“This is the best lense cleaner I have ever used. It does not leave streaks and dries clear with no smearing or streaks and the cloth that comes with it is really good at not leaving anything behind.” — jocol
“This product is great. I have only cleaned my glasses with the Koala spray cleaner and Koala cloth for the past 6 months. My glasses are still as good as new. The first time ever I haven’t had scratches on my glasses after a couple of months of wear.” — Cindy
“Was amazed at how well it cleaned grease off my lenses! Eays to use, no leaks, the pump bottle is great and protects the lenses from scratches and no alcohol like the one from my eye Dr! Great value for the money spent! Highly recommend! I actually look forward to cleaning my glasses where before it was such a task with smudges! Works well!” — Heather Dufour
“I was skeptical, thinking that there was no way that a cleanser and cloth set that was better than what my optometrist uses. Happily. That thinking was wrong. These are GREAT. They make cleaning my glasses, phone and tablet faster and easier. 10/10 recommend and I will be buying more.” — Samantha
