​MOO Spectacle Cleaner - March 2018

​Nothing is more annoying than spots (or streaks or smudges) before your eyes and when you wear glasses they happen often and usually at the most annoying times. There are wipes you can buy that do an amazing job of cleaning specs, but at 7c - 15c each they can be expensive. Microfibre cloths are great, but I never seem to have one when I need it.  There are also sprays you can get from the chemist or optometrist, but again they're expensive. Or you can MOO a simple, effective and inexpensive lens cleaner that uses ingredients you'll have in your kitchen and bathroom, for just a few cents.

MOO Spectacle Cleaner
Ingredients:
Empty travel sized spray bottle
Rubbing alcohol
Liquid dishwashing detergent
Water

You can find travel-sized spray bottles in the travel section of the cosmetics department of stores such as Kmart or Big W, but I paid less than $1 for mine at a local $2 shop. You can also recycle an empty spray bottle if you have one (just make sure you wash it thoroughly).

Rubbing alcohol can be found in the first aid section of your chemist. 

For this recipe I used Tandil dishwashing concentrate from Aldi, because that is what I had. You can use any good quality dishwashing detergent.

Fill the spray bottle 3/4 full with rubbing alcohol. Add two small drops of dish soap (don't go overboard, just two drops is all you'll need).

Fill the bottle with tap water. 

Place the lid on the container and shake gently. 

To use, spray both sides of each lens and wipe with a lint-free cloth.
