Care Recommendations
Care Recommendations
To continue wearing your creations year after year, we recommend the following measures:
- Regularly clean your glasses with slightly soapy water, rinse with clean water and wipe dry with the Cartier cleaning cloth or any other soft cloth (except for horn, wood or leather eyewear).
- Always keep your glasses in their case when you are not wearing them.
- Protect your creations from heat to preserve the frame and lenses.
- Avoid contact between your eyewear and mercury or strong solvent-based products, such as acetone or cleaning fluids.
Even though most wood styles are varnished, it is important to prevent any contact with water, greasy substances, makeup or any type of cleaning product that may damage the porous fibers, causing permanent warping or staining.
Wood does not require special care and will gradually develop a beautiful patina over the years.
Genuine horn is a material that requires special care.
Clean your horn creations with the specialized cream given at the time of purchase. This should be repeated two or three times a year on average, depending on the condition. The cream will not damage the frame's metallic components and lenses of the frame.
It is also important to avoid any contact with water or detergents, as well as exposure to extreme or excessive temperatures. Creations should also not be cleaned with a degreasing product.
For cleaning, use a neutral detergent with a damp cloth and dry with a clean soft cloth. Avoid the use of solvents (e.g. alcohol) and aggressive chemical cleaners.
