Using Rubbing Alcohol
- Dampen a cotton pad or cloth with rubbing alcohol.
- Gently rub the stained area in a circular motion.
- You may see the stain transferring from the sunglasses onto the pad or cloth.
- Once you can’t see the stain anymore, switch to a clean cloth and dampen with plain water.
- Continue rubbing away the residual oil using the clean cloth.
- Dry the treated area with a soft cloth.
Using Cleaning Products
- Choose a lens cleaner specifically formulated for glasses or sunglasses.
- Spray a small amount of the cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth.
- Rub cloth over the stained area in a gentle, circular motion until the stain is gone.
- If the stain persists, spray a little more solution directly onto the stain, wait a few seconds, and then rub the area again.
- Finish cleaning your glasses by rubbing the whole lens with a fresh cloth moistened with plain water.
- Pat the lenses dry with another clean, soft cloth.
Preventing Future Stains
- Store your glasses in an appropriate case when not in use.
- Make sure your scissors are cleaned regularly and kept away from your sunglasses.
- Avoid keeping your sunglasses near cooking and beauty products containing oil.
