Crafted from teak, sandalwood, or bamboo, wooden sunglasses are handcrafted and naturally appealing, making them popular with consumers. However, without proper wood care, pure wood sunglasses can become deformed or discolored after prolonged exposure to air and sunlight, resulting in irreversible damage. To ensure long-lasting wooden glasses, we must carefully maintain them.
Unlike plastic or metal, pure wood sunglasses adapt to changing conditions: 1. The natural flexibility of wooden frames allows them to conform to facial contours and provide a comfortable fit. 2. They are moisture-resistant, expanding when humidity exceeds 65% and contracting in dry conditions. 3. They are UV-resistant: High-quality wood, such as walnut, naturally blocks 98% of UV rays.
Three golden rules for long-lasting durability:
1. Avoid rubbing. Spray the frame with a teaspoon of white vinegar and 200 ml of water.
2. Store properly in a case at a suitable humidity level.
3. Apply food-grade beeswax every 90 days to prevent the frame from drying out.

Q: What should I do if coffee is spilled on my pure wood sunglasses?
A: Immediately wipe with a damp, soft tissue, avoiding vigorous rubbing. For deep stains, a mixture of three parts baking soda and water can effectively remove them.
Q: Can I wear my sunglasses at the beach?
A: Seawater and sand are not kind to wood. Although the frames of wood sunglasses are protected, prolonged exposure to saltwater and sand can still cause grain corrosion and scratches on the lenses.
Q: "What humidity level is suitable for wood sunglasses?"
A: For every 15% change in humidity, the wood will soften by approximately 0.2 mm. If the temples feel too tight, place them in a sealed box with a damp sponge. They should be restored overnight.
1. Minor Scratches: Rub along the grain to cover the scratch.
2. Loose Hinges: Insert a toothpick fragment into the loose area, apply a small amount of wood glue, and let it sit for a day and a night.
3. Faded Wood: Refresh with diluted tea stain to achieve the original color.
