Foggy Windows – How to stop your glasses from steaming up while on the job

 

Many window cleaners across the country – and the world – are choosing to carry on with their services during the Covid-19 pandemic while wearing a face covering.

While it’s respectful to others, especially those shielding as they await their first vaccine dose, it can be really frustrating if you’re wearing glasses, or even sunglasses, when you begin to steam up while wearing a mask.

Here are some top tips to help you get rid of that annoying condensation build-up ( Foggy Windows )…

 

  • The washing up liquid method

Wash your glasses with hot soapy water, as this allegedly leaves a film on the lens, making it near impossible for them to fog up. Although, make sure you don’t do this too often, as it could damage any of the anti-scratch coating on your lenses.

 

  • The tuck method

Make sure your glasses are on top of your face covering and pull your mask as high as it can go (so it’s almost underneath your eyelid) and that should help any hot air from escaping, causing the dreaded steam-up. Also, try buying a face mask that has a pliable metal strip in it that can bend to the shape of your nose, keeping your mask in place.

 

  • The tissue method

Taping a tissue to the top of your mask has also been proven to work, as it helps to stop moisture from escaping your mask. Although, not sure it would be too comfortable!

 

  • Anti-fog wipes

There are also specialist products available for glasses – and sunglasses – wearers, to ensure they don’t steam up once they’re wearing a face covering. OptiClear lens wipes and No Fog wipes are some of the best rated.
