If you’re anything like me you probably get annoyed when your glasses get smudged or scratched. No matter how well you take care of your glasses, sometimes it seems like smudges and scratches literally appear out of nowhere. How it’s possible, I’m not sure. But! I might be able to help you solve some of those problems with this list of quick, easy, and most importantly cheap ways to remove scratches from your glasses.
Glasses are expensive, so it’s important that we do what we can to take care of them. The last thing you want is your $500 pair of Gucci glasses to have a nasty scratch on them, leaving you paranoid that everyone will notice (true story, it happened to me).
So here are easy and cheap ways to remove the scratches on your glasses. You can thank me later.
#1 Baking soda
Make a thick paste from baking soda and water. Then, apply the paste with a soft cotton or wool cloth and rub gently in a circular motion. Rinse and wipe the lens dry. Again, the process may have to be repeated for deep or stubborn scratches.
#2 Baby Shampoo
Rinse your glasses under running water.
Put a bit of Baby Shampoo on one of the lenses, then use your fingers to gently rub the liquid on both sides of both lenses.
Rinse glasses again to remove the extra shampoo.
#3 White vinegar:
If you have white vinegar in your home, mix it with a little bit of baking soda. Once you have mixed the vinegar and the baking soda, use the paste to buff out the scratches.
#4 Use dishwashing liquid and a clean, lint-free towel.
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly. ...
Rinse your glasses under a gentle stream of lukewarm tap water. ...
Apply a small drop of lotion-free dishwashing liquid to each lens. ...
Gently rub both sides of the lenses and all parts of the frame for a few seconds.
#5 rubbing alcohol
Fill your spray the bottle with ¾ full of rubbing alcohol. Add two small drops of mild liquid dish soap, and fill the rest of the bottle with water. Gently shake the mixture, being sure to not create any bubbles. Now, just spray both sides of your lenses and gently rub them clean with a soft cotton cloth.
#6 Soap and water:
This simple technique which removes scratches on your glasses uses the good old basics: soap and water. As we all know, if all else fails in life, we can always stick to the basics and give soap and water a try.
Mix soap and water together and dab a microfiber cloth in the mixture. If that doesn’t work, try adding some baking soda for good measure.
#7 Brass polish:
Brass polish can help remove scratches that aren’t too deep and can also help remove debris from your lenses.
According to Glass Crafter, just make sure that the product you are using does not have acetone in it.
#8 Toothpaste
Use a cotton or soft wool cloth with a little non-abrasive toothpaste to quickly buff away scratches on eye glasses. Rub the lens gently, moving the cloth in small circles. Continue this motion for around ten seconds. Rinse with cold water and wipe dry.
#9 Furniture & Car Wax
Despite its place on nearly every list regarding scratch removal, wax, of any kind, should not be used on lenses. Cars or furniture, sure. The use of wax to hide a scratch in the leg of your armchair doesn’t hinder or mar the effectiveness of the chair. But one of the inherent properties of an effective lens is the ability to look through it.
If you stick wax in your view, you’re simply exacerbating the problem.
