Extend the Life of Your ROYALTAIL Sunglasses With Smart Maintenance
You’ve invested in a stylish, high-quality pair of ROYALTAIL sunglasses—and naturally, you want them to last. While all ROYALTAIL shades are built with durability in mind, even the most premium sunglasses require proper care to maintain their clarity, fit, and flawless finish.
From accidental drops to smudged lenses, your sunglasses face a lot of wear and tear. But with just a few easy habits, you can preserve your shades for seasons (or even years) to come. Here are the most effective sunglasses care tips to help you protect your ROYALTAIL frames and get the most out of your investment.
1. Always Store in a Protective Case
This is the number one rule: never toss your sunglasses loose in a bag, pocket, or car console. Keeping your sunglasses in a hard or soft case helps protect them from scratches, dust, and accidental pressure.
ROYALTAIL Tip: Each pair of ROYALTAIL sunglasses comes with a microfiber pouch or hard-shell case. Use it religiously—it’s your first line of defense.
2. Clean With a Microfiber Cloth Only
It’s tempting to clean your lenses with your shirt, tissue, or napkin, especially on the go. But rough materials and paper-based products can scratch the lens coating over time.
Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses in circular motions. If your shades are extra dirty, lightly dampen the cloth with water or lens-safe cleaning spray.
Avoid: Harsh chemicals, ammonia-based glass cleaners, and alcohol wipes—they can strip lens coatings and fade frame finishes.
3. Rinse Off Dust and Sand First
If your sunglasses are sandy or dusty—say, after a beach day or desert hike—don’t wipe them dry. Doing so can grind tiny particles into the lenses and create micro-scratches.
Instead, rinse gently with clean water first, then wipe with a microfiber cloth. This method is especially helpful for polarized lenses or gradient-tinted models, which need extra care.
4. Use Both Hands to Remove and Wear
Stretching the frame by using only one hand can warp the arms over time, leading to an uneven fit. Always use both hands to take your sunglasses on or off to maintain alignment and hinge stability.
ROYALTAIL frames are designed with flexible spring hinges, but they’ll last even longer with the proper touch.
5. Avoid Leaving Sunglasses in Hot Cars
Heat is a silent sunglasses killer. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures—like leaving them on your dashboard—can warp frames, bubble lens coatings, or cause adhesive parts to loosen.
Instead: Keep them in your glove box (inside a case), center console, or take them with you when exiting the car.
6. Keep Them Away From Your Head
Wearing sunglasses on your head may feel convenient, but it’s a fast way to stretch out the arms and misshape the frame.
ROYALTAIL Tip: Clip them onto your shirt collar, or better yet, use a sunglass strap or retainer if you frequently take them off and on during activity.
7. Check and Tighten Screws Occasionally
Like any accessory with moving parts, your sunglasses may naturally loosen over time—especially at the hinges or nose pads. Use a small eyeglass screwdriver to tighten any loose screws gently. This keeps the structure strong and prevents arm separation.

8. Rotate Between Pairs
If you’re using the same pair of sunglasses every day for multiple occasions—commuting, hiking, beach trips, etc.—they’ll wear faster. Rotate between two or more styles to extend the life of each.
Bonus: You’ll also have the perfect style ready for different outfits or environments.
9. Know When to Replace Lenses or Parts
Scratched lenses, wobbly arms, or faded tints don’t mean you need a whole new pair. ROYALTAIL offers lens replacement and repair services for select models. It’s an affordable and sustainable way to keep your favorite frames in top shape.
