I was frustrated that my vacation photos kept coming out hazy, especially in sunlight. I almost bought a new phone until a friend suggested cleaning the camera lens. The difference was incredible—suddenly my photos were sharp and vibrant. Now I keep a microfiber cloth in my car and clean my lens before any important photos. That simple habit saved me hundreds of dollars and preserved memories that would have been ruined by blurriness.
