The best lens cleaner I've found/used is 'Solution 30 Lens Cleaner'. It's quite expensive, but it's manufactured by Zeiss (as in Carl) and is apparently what many opticians use... They used to sell it in Costco for cheap, but no longer :'(

Im the opposite. I have had glasses for about 15 years now and I have never tried contact lenses. I have a try out at some point this month but I'm not too excited. I have a strong prescription with a lot of astigmatism as well so makes them really expensive. I just like to wear glasses and they are comfortable and I look odd without glasses as I'm so used to having them 
Maybe OP just lives in a dirty environment?
I wear specs and wipe them down probably once a day. If you take them off once every few hours you'll always see a few specs of dust on them, there's no escaping that, but it's not something yyou really notice when wearing.
Also it's entirely normal to sense a slight perspective change if you've not been using specs for a while.. That feeling disappears after a few mins.

I've always used them, never had an issue, they do good deals if you buy two sets, and they have a decent selection of frames.
Washing up liquid does not have a particularly high salt content.
I've never had to resort to a cleaning 'product' just use your breath and a decent bit of cotton fabric, such as your shirt tail or t-shirt, or some decent quality kitchen roll or bog roll if you are stuck for anything better.

I've not worn glasses for years, I use monthly contacts. Terrible for leaving them in too long, not giving my eyes are quick rest before the new set etc.
Infinitely better than glasses. At least you can wear shades

Completely agree. Contacts are much better than glasses, I much prefer them.
HOWEVER, please give your eyes a rest! I abused my contact lenses for years and last year got a hugely unpleasant eye infection which actually ended up scarring my eyeballs! A break every now and then will help you keep wearing them longer.
