Caring for Your Echo Frames

Sometimes life happens, and your Echo Frames may get wet by accident. They may also get dirty and need to be cleaned up. Understanding how to properly care for your Echo Frames is important. Here is a list of care tips to keep in mind when using your Echo Frames and to elongate their useful life.

Echo Frames Are Wet

Life does happen. As we have mentioned previously if a rainstorm occurs that you were not expecting, your Echo Frames may get wet. Other unforeseen scenarios may also cause water to get on your Echo Frames. Instead of panicking, stop, take a breath, and follow these easy steps to mitigate the potential damage:

  • Remove yourself from the cause of the water. Get out of the pool, the rain, or move away from whatever is getting your Echo Frames wet.Find a soft cloth and gently pat the Echo Frames down. If you do not have any cloth, a soft t-shirt or a similar style of cloth will do.Wait for 24 hours before charging the Echo Frames. This will ensure the charging port has time to dry out completely and will prevent them from short-circuiting due to water damage.

When they are dried off, pop them back on the charger and wear them as per usual. They should live through a little bit of rain. If they drop in the toilet or pool, you may be on the market for a new pair.

If you’re wearing your Echo Frames to help with reading on your Kindle Oasis poolside or at the beach, you might be better off adjusting the settings on your Kindle Oasis since that is waterproof.

Since there are special things to do when the Echo Frames get wet, you might be wondering how to clean them.

Cleaning Your Echo Frames

If you get your Echo Frames dirty, do not rush over and shove them in the sink. You will destroy your tech, and it will be a really sad time overall. Proper eyeglass cleaning does not use water and is sensitive to the lenses and the frames overall. Follow these steps to clean your Echo Frames without doing any permanent damage properly:

  • Wash your own hands and dry them before cleaning your glasses to prevent more dirt or grime from getting on your lenses or frames.Grab a liquid lens cleaner or a lens cleaning wipe.Use a microfiber cloth or other soft cloth to rub the cleaner in the lenses gently. If using a wipe, just use that.Use a soft dry cloth to take off any excess cleaner.

You now have a pair of clean Echo Frames.

Water can clean many things, but it should not clean a pair of Echo Frames. It can hurt the battery and the chipset or fry the frames. Keep to classic lens cleaners and soft cloths. Always avoid lotion tissues, as they make more of a mess.
