Homemade Eyeglass Cleaner

Keep your eyeglasses clean with homemade cleaner.

If you wear eyeglasses, you know how annoying it can be when your lenses get dirty. Even the smallest smudge can obscure your vision. Instead of buying expensive eyeglass cleaner, you can make your own at home. It only requires two common ingredients you likely have on hand. By making your own, you'll save money and you'll never run out. Anytime you need more homemade eyeglass cleaner, all you need to do is mix some up.

Things You'll Need

• Small spray bottle
• Rubbing alcohol
• Dishwashing detergent
• Soft, lint-free cotton cloth

Instructions

1. Remove the top off the spray bottle. Fill it 3/4 full with rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will help clean the lenses of your eyeglasses. It will also help the mixture dry faster.

2. Place two drops of dishwashing detergent into the bottle. The detergent will help cut any dirt, grease or grime that's dirtying the lenses.

3. Fill the bottle the rest of the way up with tap water. Replace the top.

4. Shake the bottle gently to mix the rubbing alcohol, dishwashing liquid and tap water together. If you shake it too hard, the mixture will bubble up, and then it will be hard to spray it out.

5. Spray each side of your eyeglass lenses lightly with the homemade cleaner.Gently wipe each side clean with a soft cloth.

Tips & Warnings

• Check the manufacturer's care instructions that came with your eyeglasses to make sure you can use the ingredients in this cleaner on your eyeglasses.

• Always use a soft, clean cloth to wipe your lenses. Never use paper towels, napkins, newspaper, or other rough material because they can scratch them.
