Using a cotton swab, gently remove any visible particles of the polish from the lens. Be extra careful if using a cloth or other abrasive substances in case it scratches the lenses.
Mix a few drops of mild soap with some warm water and soak the lenses for a few minutes. This will help loosen the stubborn shoe polish stains.
Using a soft cleaning cloth, carefully scrub the lenses in a circular pattern. Be sure not to use too much force as this could potentially damage the lenses.
Rinse off any excess soap using clean water and dry the lenses gently with a lint-free cloth.
For more stubborn stains, apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab and gently rub the stained area. Be sure to rinse the lenses with water afterwards.
Finally, dry the lenses with a lint-free cloth. Your sunglasses should now be free of shoe polish stains!
