♡ Cleaning your circle lens cases ♡


Hi lovelies!
♡ A few days ago, i decided it was about time i cleaned out the cases of my circle lenses so I thought i ought to make a post showing you all how I did so! This is my first 'How to' post, i hope you like it! 

Let's get started!


What you will need:
  • A clean bowl of hot water (not warm)
  • A second smaller bowl w/ solution (to hold lens)
  • A soft unused toothbrush (or any new & small brush that scrubs well)
  • Clean towel / paper towel 
  • Lens cases that need cleaning lol

♡ First i want to point out that no soap or cleaning agents are needed at all! They can damage your eyes and the lens themselves. Hot water is sufficient enough! Unless you use a specific product for this purpose. 


To begin, fill a bowl with hot water straight out of the kettle, its best to use hot water to clean out the grime and kill bacteria. Take  you circle lens out of the cases and then put all of them into one bowl with soft lens solution in it and covered it to prevent anything from falling in. 

Next, pour out all the old solution in the cases and placed them in the hot water to soak for a little while. 


After words, grab your soft brush and get scrubbing! I used a new and soft toothbrush.


Places you should pay attention to:

1. Inner curve
2. Creases on the sides



The area labeled "2", if you haven't already noticed with you lenses, usually gets dry solution on it and between the creases. Most likely when taking out the lens when putting them on, or if the tops weren't put on tightly enough, therefore leaking solution and causing it to dry into a flaky substance. 





So make sure to scrub every inch of you cases with you brush and hot water, no soap or other cleaning agents are needed. Unless it is a product made specifically for this.



* Scrub , scrub , scrub *
After words, rinse them over the faucet with hot water.


Once you are satisfied with the cleaning you have done, lay your now sparkling clean lens cases facing down, on a clean dry towel or paper towel to dry them out. 


Its best not to wipe at them to prevent stray fibers from settling in them. Air dry them in a location that has little to no product, dust etc flying in the air.


Once dry, fill them 3/4 the way with your solution and get out your soaking lens from the second bowl and put them into their rightful cases.


This is my current collection of circle lens. Its very small but I have a bunch of orders and future reviews, coming up soon!

If you would like me to make a post about cleaning the circle lens themselves, let me know!

Thank you for reading~!
