Homemade Eyeglass Lens & Screen Cleaner
Three ingredients, ninety seconds, and you'll never squint through a smudged screen again.
Servings: 8 ounces
Cost: $1
Equipment
- Spray bottle
- microfiber cloth
Ingredients
- 1/2 cups rubbing alcohol 70% isopropyl
- 1/2 cups distilled water
- 1 drop Blue Dawn liquid dish soap
Instructions
- Pour rubbing alcohol and distilled water into a small spray bottle.
- Add 1 drop Blue Dawn liquid dish soap.
- Gently swirl to mix. No shaking.
- Spray onto a microfiber cloth first. Never directly onto a lens or screen. Wipe away fingerprints, smudges, and oily residue.
Notes
Use distilled water if you can. Tap water minerals can leave a film.
Never spray directly onto electronics. Always spray the cloth first.
Not for every lens: If you have premium anti-reflective or specialty coatings, check with your optometrist before using any alcohol-based cleaner. Plain distilled water on a microfiber cloth is always a safe fallback.
Streaks? You probably used too much soap. One drop really is the right amount. Start a fresh batch and go lighter.
Storage: Keeps indefinitely. Fill small 1–2 oz. travel bottles for your purse, car, and desk.
