Procedure to Clean Your Glasses
With Soap Solution

✦ First of all, scrutinize the lens of your glasses for dirt and grit. Gently wash them with clean water.

✦ Now, in a side-to-side motion, wipe the lenses with the help of a clean cloth, and allow your glasses to dry completely. You can hold them in the sunlight to inspect dirt or smudges on the lens.

✦ Make a soap solution by pouring some lukewarm water and a mild detergent or liquid soap.

✦ Dip the glasses in this solution and softly rub all the parts―lens, hinges, and bridges with your fingers. You can use cotton swabs to remove the stubborn stains.

✦ Check for buildup in the glasses around nose pieces, hinges, etc.

✦ Rinse it off with clean water. Dry it with a soft, clean cloth, preferably the one you get with the pair of glasses. Start with the lens area by moving towards the hinges.

✦ Allow the moisture to dry out completely. That's it! Your pair of Ray-Ban glasses are squeaky clean.

With Alcohol

Firstly, be very clear with the fact that all Ray-Bans can't be cleaned with alcohol. In fact, many styles of Ray-Ban may brittle out even with the slightest amount of alcohol. For wayfarers, it's a big NO! For others, consider the following procedure.

✦ Take a small pump bottle of about 1 oz., and fill it with a very small amount of rubbing alcohol.

✦ Fill the remaining part of the bottle with water. Basically, we're diluting alcohol here.

✦ Add a few drops of liquid soap to this bottle, and shake.

✦ Spray this on your glasses.

✦ Use a cotton swab to slightly rub, and wipe all the parts of the eyewear.

Voilà! Your Ray-Ban seems spick and span.
