Using A Dry Cloth

Gently wipe the lenses with a dry, soft cloth. Use a circular motion as you rub the lenses to remove as much of the crayon as possible.

Using Glass Cleaner

Spray glass cleaner on a microfiber cloth. The cloth should be slightly damp and not dripping wet.
Gently rub lenses in a circular motion.
Once the lenses have been wiped down, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe away any excess glass cleaner and to dry off the lenses.

Using Peanut Butter

Spread a small amount of peanut butter onto stained lenses.
Let the peanut butter sit on the lenses for five minutes.
Wipe off the peanut butter with a wet microfiber cloth.
If the crayon stain still remains, repeat this process a few more times.
Once the stain has been removed, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe away any remaining peanut butter and to dry off the lenses.

Using Toothpaste

Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto the lenses.
Allow the toothpaste to sit on the lenses for 5-10 minutes.
Gently rub the lenses in a circular motion to remove any leftover crayon residue and toothpaste.
Once all residue has been removed, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe away any remaining toothpaste and to dry off the lenses.
