Product Information

Full details

The Costa Hermit Cleaning Cloth in Blue is designed for anyone needing a quick and effective way to clean eyewear or optical lenses on the go. Its primary benefit is the integrated silicone casing, which keeps the soft microfibre cloth protected and readily accessible. A minor caveat is that the silicone casing, while protective, adds a small amount of bulk compared to a standalone cloth.

FAQs

How often should I wash the microfibre cloth?

It is recommended to wash the microfibre cloth when it appears visibly dirty or starts to lose its cleaning effectiveness. Generally, washing every few weeks with regular use is sufficient.

Can I machine wash the cleaning cloth?

While hand washing is preferred to preserve the microfibers, the cloth can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. However, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, and never put it in the dryer. Always air dry.

What is the purpose of the silicone casing?

The silicone casing serves to protect the microfibre cloth from dirt, dust, and damage when not in use, and keeps it conveniently contained for portability.

Will the cloth scratch my lenses?

No, the microfibre material is specifically designed to be soft and non-abrasive, ensuring it cleans effectively without scratching delicate optical surfaces.

Is this product suitable for cleaning phone screens?

Yes, the soft microfibre cloth is safe and effective for cleaning smartphone screens, tablet screens, and other electronic displays.

How large is the cloth when unfolded?

The cloth is designed to be a practical size for cleaning eyewear and similar optical devices. Specific dimensions are not provided, but it is adequately sized for its intended purpose.

Can I attach the cleaning cloth to my bag or keys?

While there isn't a dedicated attachment point, the compact silicone casing is small enough to be easily slipped into a pocket, bag compartment, or even secured with a small carabiner if desired.

Troubleshooting

Cloth is not cleaning effectively

Ensure the cloth is clean. If it's soiled, hand wash it with mild soap and water, then air dry. Check for any debris trapped within the silicone casing that might interfere with cloth deployment.

Silicone casing is sticky or dirty

Wipe the silicone casing with a damp cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water solution, rinse, and allow to air dry.

Cloth does not fold back into casing easily

Ensure the cloth is fully dry before refolding. Gently guide the cloth into the casing, ensuring no part of it is bunched up awkwardly. The casing may require a few uses to become fully pliable.
