Barbecue sauce can create a real mess when it inadvertently ends up on sunglasses. This sticky sauce has high sugar content, which makes it more difficult to remove than other types of stains. However, there are a few simple steps that can help you get your sunglasses looking new again in no time.

What You'll Need:

  • Mild dishwashing liquid
  • Soft cloth
  • Warm water
  • Cotton swab
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Isopropyl alcohol/ hydrogen peroxide

Step-by-step Instructions:

  1. Start by wiping off area with the stain using a damp cloth or paper towel.
  2. Dip the cloth into warm water mixed with a mild dishwashing soap. Gently rub the soapy cloth onto stained area and rinse off with clean water.
  3. If stain still persists, use a cotton swab that has been dipped in rubbing alcohol and lightly dab over the stain. The rubbing alcohol will act as a solvent, dissolving the stubborn grease and leaving your sunglasses dirt free.
  4. A stronger method of removing the stain is to use isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. Dab some of this onto the stain and leave for a few moments. Then use your damp cloth to scrub off the stain and rinse with clean water.
  5. At the end, use a soft cloth to wipe down the lenses and dry off any remaining moisture.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Scrub gently and avoid using too much pressure - this can damage lens of the sunglasses.
  • Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals on the lens. Stick to mild dishwashing soap and rubbing alcohol.
  • Be sure to dry both the outer surface and inner surface of the lens when wiping it down.
