How do you clean your glasses? (sh.itjust.works)

Lens manufacturers say that anything other than a microfiber cloth will damage the coatings on a lens. But microfiber cloths eventually pick up crap and they look like they're a pain to wash.

How do you keep your lenses clean? Are you using cloth/kleenex or microfiber cloths? If you use microfiber cloths, how do you clean those?

Every once in a while I'll use dish soap and my fingers, then dry with a microfiber cloth.

Microfiber cloth and whatever that glasses spray is works ok, but after a while it feels like I'm just pushing smudges around. Dish soap for the microfiber cloth will also fix that.

When I see people using their shirt to clean their glasses I cringe inside.

I do both. Once or twice a week they get washed. But I never remember to bring a cloth with me, so if I’m out and about and get a smudge on my glasses, using my shirt is 1000% preferred over just leaving the smudge there.
