Troubleshooting

Magnifying glass is smudged or dirty.

Gently clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. If needed, use a glass cleaner applied to the cloth first, then wipe the lens.

Brass handle appears tarnished.

Use a specialized brass polish with a soft cloth. Apply polish to the cloth, not directly to the handle, and buff gently. Avoid contact with the lens and plating.

Magnification seems distorted.

Ensure the lens is clean and free from smudges or debris. The distortion might be due to the distance from the object being viewed; experiment with different distances.

Care Instructions: To maintain the beauty and integrity of the gold-plated brass, we recommend the following:

  • Wipe the brass handle with a dry, soft cloth after use to remove fingerprints.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gold plating.
  • If the brass begins to tarnish, use a specialized brass polish with a soft cloth, following the polish manufacturer's instructions. Ensure you do not get polish on the lens or the gold plating.
