What I found is sufficient to get my glasses spotless is: dip in hot water, dry with paper towel, dip in hot water, dry with paper towel, rinse in cold water, dry with paper towel, rinse in cold water, dry with paper towel.

Anything less than that I would find my glasses were not really clean.

I have used a variety of wipes to clean and/or dry my lenses over the years. This always left microscratches and damage to the AR coating over time.

Since I switched to the hand method, my lenses are in much better shape:

1) Clean hands with basic bar soap, leave soap suds on hands 2) Lightly rub lenses and frames with soapy fingers, taking care not to apply too much pressure and deposit skin oils 3) Rinse off with hot water 4) Shake glasses dry with both hands (carefully) 5) If tiny water spots bother you, or you can't wait for the remaining droplets to naturally dry, use a lint free glasses wipe to dab (not wipe) them dry

This title is missing a word:

"How I Clean my Glasses"

I half expected a post where someone brags about cleaning glasses. HOW I clean my glasses is pretty interesting for those of us who wear them. Mine are just ALWAYS dirty, I don't know what the heck I keep doing to them.

HN strips "How" on submissions. It's just one of many annoying auto-edits.

Pretty sure this is an automated word removal action by the HN submission form. There've been threads about the words that are filtered out by default. It comes down to trying to make titles less clickbait-y. Though I do agree that "How" does provide some important context in this case.
