Quick answer
Clean your Official Elton John Blue Star Light Up Glasses with a soft, dry cloth only—never water or liquids. For display, keep them on a shelf away from direct sunlight to protect the LED wiring and star-shaped frame.
Why standard sunglass cleaning methods can damage LED frames
Unlike regular sunglasses, the Official Elton John Blue Star Light Up Glasses have embedded LED wiring inside the star-shaped plastic frame. Spraying lens cleaner or running them under water can short-circuit the lights. The one-size-fits-most design also means the frame is a single piece—no removable parts to rinse separately. Stick to dry methods to keep the LEDs working.
Step-by-step cleaning and display guide
- 1. Turn off the lights and remove the batteries: Slide the battery compartment cover off and take out the small button cells. This prevents accidental activation during cleaning and protects the contacts from moisture if you later use a slightly damp cloth. Store batteries separately when not wearing the glasses for more than a week to avoid corrosion.
- 2. Wipe the frame with a microfiber cloth: Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the blue plastic star frame and the clear lens area. Do not use paper towels or tissue—they can scratch the plastic. Work in small circular motions, especially around the LED bulbs embedded in the frame. If smudges persist, breathe lightly on the lens and wipe again; never use window cleaner or alcohol.
- 3. Clean the nose pads and temple tips with a dry cotton swab: The clear plastic nose pads and the ends of the temples collect oils from your skin. Gently roll a dry cotton swab over these areas. For stubborn buildup, slightly dampen the swab with distilled water and immediately dry the area with the microfiber cloth. Never push the swab into the battery compartment—keep moisture away from the metal contacts.
- 4. Display on a soft, flat surface away from direct sunlight: Place the glasses on a sunglasses stand or a soft cloth on a shelf. Keep them out of direct sunlight because UV rays can fade the blue plastic and may degrade the LED wiring insulation over time. Avoid hanging them by one temple—the star frame is heavier than standard glasses and can stretch the hinge. Rotate the display position every few weeks so the same side isn't always facing the light.
