Quick Answer
To clean goggles after exposure to sandstorm particles, use distilled or filtered water to prevent scratching the lenses, followed by gentle soap and a soft cloth to remove any remaining debris. Avoid using tap water or harsh chemicals that can damage the goggles. Rinse thoroughly to prevent streaks.
Pre-Cleaning Procedure
Before attempting to clean your goggles, inspect them for any loose debris. Gently brush off any visible sand particles using a soft-bristled brush or a clean cloth. This prevents scratching the lenses during the cleaning process.
Cleaning and Rinsing
Mix a small amount of mild soap, such as diluted dish soap or baby shampoo, with distilled or filtered water. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth into the solution, wring it out thoroughly, and gently wipe the lenses in a circular motion. Avoid applying excessive pressure that may scratch the lenses. Use a clean section of the cloth for each wipe to prevent cross-contamination of debris. Rinse the goggles thoroughly with distilled or filtered water to remove any soap residue. Repeat the cleaning and rinsing process if necessary to ensure the lenses are free of debris.
Drying and Storage
Use a clean, dry cloth to gently pat the goggles dry, paying extra attention to the areas around the frames and straps. Store the goggles in a protective case or pouch to prevent further damage and maintain their optical clarity. Regularly cleaning and maintaining your goggles will help ensure they remain functional and effective in harsh environmental conditions.
