How to Get Scratches Out of Sunglasses With Household Items

Have you ever gotten a scratch on your sunglasses and scoured the internet to find ways to fix it? I know I have and after years of searching, finally found the easiest way. This post will show you how to get scratches out of sunglasses with household items that you already have around your house.

Finding the right home remedy for scratched lenses

You want to find a way to get rid of the scratches and prevent them from happening again. Scratches on your glasses mean that you can’t see as well as you would like, and they can also be a safety hazard.

When you have a scratch in your lens, it’s like having a crack in your windshield. It may not seem like much, but it can eventually cause major problems if left untreated. That’s why it’s so important to find the right home remedy for scratched lenses.

The first thing you should do is try cleaning them with toothpaste or baking soda paste. If this doesn’t work, then it may be time to take them into the opticians’ office and get them replaced or repaired.

Even out the scratches using toothpaste

Toothpaste is a very useful tool in the fight against scratches on your car’s paint. It works because toothpaste contains compounds that are abrasive and can smooth out scratches. The abrasive compounds in toothpaste help to even out the edges of the scratch, making it less noticeable.

Toothpaste works best on light scratches that are no more than 3/16 inch deep. The more shallow the scratch, the better a chance of getting rid of it with toothpaste. Deep scratches will require more work to remove them.

Toothpaste works best on clear coat paints, but some varieties also work well on solid colors as well. If you have an older car with faded paint, try using white paste instead of colored paste because white is often smoother than colored varieties.

Polish the lenses using a non-abrasive cleaner

If you wear glasses and use them for a long time, the lenses can get dirty and become scratched. Cleaning your glasses is important, especially if you want to keep them in good condition.

Cleaning your glasses isn’t hard, but it does take some time and patience. Here are some tips on how to clean your glasses:

Use a microfiber cloth or soft cotton cloth to wipe off the surface of the lens. This will remove any dust or fingerprints on the lens. You should also clean around the rim of the lens as well as inside of it.

Use an eyeglass cleaner solution such as Opti-coated or Visine for contacts lens wearers who also wear glasses. These solutions remove oils from your skin that can make your glasses look hazy over time.

Use a non-abrasive cleaner, like ammonia-free Windex, on all other parts of your glasses except for the lenses themselves. This will help remove dirt and fingerprints from these areas without scratching them up more than they already are!

If the lenses are polycarbonate, try baking soda

If you’ve been using the same pair of glasses for years, and they’re starting to get a little cloudy, there’s a quick and easy way to get them back to their original state. All you need is some baking soda and water.

Here’s what you do:

Mix 1/4 cup baking soda with 2/3 cup water in a bowl or container. Use warm water if possible. If you like, add a couple drops of dish soap or shampoo to help break down the buildup on your lenses.

Dip a cloth or paper towel in the mixture, then gently rub it over your lenses until they’re clean. You’ll probably have to go over the same spot several times before all of the gunk comes off — just keep rubbing until it’s gone!

For more serious scratches, use Brasso

If you have deep, serious scratches, you can use Brasso. It’s a metal polish, and it works wonders on stainless steel.

You can use it to restore the shine to your stainless steel appliances, too!

It’s not expensive, but make sure you use a soft cloth when applying it. Use a microfiber cloth if possible; that’s what we’ve found works best with this product.

Be sure to let it dry thoroughly before putting anything in the dishwasher or washing machine.

If you want to clean your stainless steel sink or cookware, try this method:

Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle and shake well before spraying onto your stainless steel item(s). Let sit for 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water and drying with a soft towel or microfiber cloth (don’t use paper towels!).

The process for removing scratches from glass lenses is slightly different

The process for removing scratches from glass lenses is slightly different than the process used to remove scratches from plastic lenses. The reason for this is because glass lenses are more durable. Although they can scratch, they are not as easily damaged as plastic lenses. You will want to make sure that you do not use a hard brush or cloth when cleaning your glasses. You also want to make sure that you do not use any abrasive cleaners or chemicals on them.

When removing scratches from glass lenses, you need to be careful not to apply too much pressure. If you do this, then you could cause more damage than good. To avoid this problem, make sure that you have a soft towel or cloth with which you can clean your glasses easily and quickly without causing any damage in the process.

You should also make sure that you clean your glasses regularly. This will help keep them looking their best at all times and ensure that they remain in good condition for years to come.

You can fix scratches in your sunglasses in minutes with just a few things that you already have around your house.

Clean the scratches with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is an excellent solvent for removing any oily residue left by lipstick or other makeup products.

Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and wipe away any oil or dirt on the lenses. Allow the lenses to dry completely before continuing.

Cover the scratches with toothpaste. Apply a small amount of toothpaste over each scratch, using your finger to smooth it down over the surface of the lens.

Allow the toothpaste to dry completely before removing it from your sunglasses. If necessary, use an old toothbrush to remove excess toothpaste from around the edges of each scratch.

Buff out any remaining toothpaste using a microfiber cloth or other soft cloth.
