- Protect glasses from hair dye
Whether you are highlighting your hair at home or having it coloured at a beauty salon, it’s possible that a little dye may drip onto the arms of your glasses. To protect them, simply wrap them with plastic wrap until the new colour job is finished.
- A screw loose?
The tiny screws holding your glasses frames together never seem to stay tight for long, especially when the specs are reading glasses. One way to keep things tight is to dab the threads with a little clear nail polish when replacing a screw, then coat the screw heads again once they are in place.
- Seeing is believing
Glasses cleaner is expensive to buy, but some people are aware that two common household products will clean and polish lenses just as well — try soda water or surgical spirit, the latter used either full strength or diluted with equal parts water. Keep your cleanser in a handy spray bottle and use a soft lint-free cloth to dry the lenses.
- Clearing up foggy specs
Having your glasses fog up often happens in cold weather when you go from outside to inside, when steam billows up from a saucepan of boiling water or even when you’re eating very spicy food. As a preventive measure, clean your specs with foamy white shaving cream, which will leave an invisible coating on the lenses that keeps water drops from sticking.
Shaving cream is also a fantastic cleaner for glasses. If you’ve accidentally got hairspray on your glasses and can’t get it off, a dab of shaving cream on each lens will clean it up.
