Learn how to safely clean crazy contacts like Sweety Crazy Yellow Rings and Sweety Mini Yellow Ghoul with an ultrasonic lens cleaner, step by step.
Quick Answer
Use an ultrasonic lens cleaner like the Eraclean Mini to clean your crazy contacts safely and effectively—just follow the step-by-step process below.
Why Ultrasonic Cleaning Works Well for Crazy Contacts
Crazy contacts, like the Sweety Crazy Yellow Rings or Sweety Mini Yellow Ghoul, often have bold patterns and vibrant colors. Ultrasonic cleaners use high-frequency sound waves to gently remove debris and protein buildup from the lens surface without harsh rubbing that could damage the design or material.
This method is especially helpful for cosplay lenses that may be worn for long hours at conventions or photo shoots, where buildup can accumulate faster.
What to Keep in Mind Before You Start
Not all lens cleaners are the same. The Eraclean Mini is a portable, lightweight option that works with most contact lens types, but always check that your specific lenses are compatible with ultrasonic cleaning. If you're unsure, refer to the lens manufacturer's instructions.
Remember that ultrasonic cleaning is a supplement to—not a replacement for—proper lens care, including using fresh solution and storing lenses correctly.
Step-by-Step Ultrasonic Cleaning Process
- Prepare your cleaning station: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, then dry them with a lint-free towel. Set up your ultrasonic cleaner on a flat, stable surface and ensure it's clean and dry. Never skip handwashing—it's the first line of defense against introducing dirt to your lenses.
- Fill the cleaner with fresh solution: Use the contact lens solution recommended by your lens manufacturer. Fill the cleaning chamber to the indicated line—do not overfill, as this can reduce cleaning effectiveness. Always use fresh solution; never reuse old solution, as it may harbor bacteria.
- Place your crazy contacts in the basket: Gently place each lens in the provided basket or holder, ensuring they are fully submerged in the solution. If you're cleaning two lenses, make sure they don't touch each other to avoid scratches. Handle lenses with clean, dry fingertips, and never use tweezers or sharp objects.
- Run the ultrasonic cleaning cycle: Close the lid and turn on the device. Let it run for the recommended time (usually 3-5 minutes). The ultrasonic waves will loosen debris and protein buildup without manual rubbing. Do not open the device mid-cycle—this interrupts the cleaning process and may cause splashing.
- Rinse and store your lenses: After the cycle, remove the lenses and rinse them with fresh contact lens solution. Place them in a clean lens case filled with fresh solution, and store them properly. Always use fresh solution for storage; never top off old solution.
