How to care for your MYKITA frames
All our frames come with a microfibre cleaning cloth for removing surface marks, as well as a hard eyewear case for safely storing your glasses when they are not being worn.
There are a few important things to keep in mind in order to ensure the longevity of your MYKITA eyewear and keep them in great condition:
Protect the frame and lenses from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to prevent distortion and degradation.
Safely store your glasses in an eyewear case in a cool place, e.g. avoid leaving them in the car or near heat sources.
Avoid exposing your eyewear to moisture, especially sea water. This is particularly important to prevent damage to the hand-lacquered surface on your stainless steel frames.
Always rinse off sea water or chemicals promptly, using warm water, or preferably Zeiss Cleaning Solution if available.
Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down and dry your frames completely. -
Caring for MYKITA Stainless Steel Frames
Use the provided cleaning cloth or a gentle, grease-removing lens cleaning cloth to wipe the stainless steel frames regularly. Avoid using concentrated detergents or cleaning under running water.
Over time, deposits may accumulate in small grooves that are difficult to remove with the cloth – visit your MYKITA shop or recommended retailer for a professional deep cleaning and frame adjustments when needed.
Please note that only opticians with the proper tools should ever handle your MYKITA stainless steel frames for adjustments. Find your nearest MYKITA Shop or retailer with our Shop Finder. -
Caring for MYKITA Acetate Frames
Use a cleaning cloth to wipe your acetate frames regularly. The acetate surface may lose some of its shine over time and can be professionally polished to restore the high-gloss finish. Please contact your nearest MYKITA Shop or selected retailer.
Avoid exposing acetate frames to temperatures above 40°C (104°F) or direct sunlight. -
Caring for MYKITA MYLON® Frames
For daily cleaning, use the MYKITA cleaning cloth provided or a gentle microfibre cloth.
Warm water should remove most light stains or dirt. For stronger stains or makeup caught in the pores, use a fine brush with warm water and mild soap.
For persistent stains, an ultrasonic bath can be used if necessary. Avoid using solvents or alcohol-based cleaning agents as they can damage the MYLON® surface, silicone parts, and lenses. -
How to clean your MYKITA frames
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your MYKITA frames looking their best.
Each material has a slightly different cleaning method to achieve the safest and best results.
We recommend only rinsing with warm water if necessary, or preferably Zeiss Cleaning Solution if available.
Never use highly concentrated solvents to clean the frame, as this could corrode and damage the surface, the silicone and plastic parts, and the lenses. -
How to care for MYKITA lenses
All our frames come with a microfibre cleaning cloth for removing surface marks, as well as a hard eyewear case for safely storing your glasses when they are not being worn.
To keep your MYKITA lenses in the best condition, refrain from placing your frames with the lenses facing down on any surface. Lenses are sensitive to chemicals, so avoid cleaning them with soap or other detergents. Instead, we use only a specialist lens spray, such as our Zeiss Cleaning solution for MYKITA and gently wipe the lens with a microfibre cloth. -
