Removing Ketchup Stains: The Basics

  • Start by removing any excess ketchup or other debris from the lenses. You may need to use a cloth or a soft brush to do this.
  • Mix a small amount of dishwashing detergent in warm water and swish mixture around, then use it to dampen a cloth. Gently rub the cloth against the lenses in circular motions.
  • Once you've rubbed all of the lenses with the soapy mixture, rinse cloth and run it through cold water. Wipe away any remaining soap residue.
  • Use a dry, lint-free cloth to dry off the lenses. Make sure to buff out any streaks or smudges on the lenses.

Using Vinegar as a Stain Remover

  • If the stain is particularly stubborn, you may want to try using white vinegar as a cleaning agent. Mix an equal amount of white vinegar and water together in a bowl and dip a cloth into the mixture. Rub the cloth against the stained lenses until stain has faded.
  • Once the stain has disappeared, rinse lenses off with warm water and buff them dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Tips for Keeping Sunglasses Clean

  • Make sure to regularly clean your sunglasses – even if they don't have any visible smudges. Regularly wiping down the lenses with a cloth will help prevent future stains from developing.
  • When you're not wearing the glasses, keep them put away in a protective case. This will help prevent dust and dirt particles from getting on the lenses.
  • Always store your sunglasses in a cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can damage the lenses and reduce clarity.
