Cleaning What looks like Sun block off of my mask...

[TracysaCADiver]

This one's probably been posted here before, but I thought I'd ask this one...

This past holiday (4th of July), I was using my mask in a pool. It looks like I got some sun block on it and the pool water wouldn't take it off. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

Dish soap and water.

Ahh good thought, I hadn't thought of that.

I clean my mask with toothpaste and water- rinse well!

Go Jo hand cleaner works well. The pumice cleans great and will cut down on fogging too.

Somebody gave me the tip, a while back, to take masks which are developing crud in the corners or otherwise dirty and put them through the dishwasher on an air-dry cycle. Works a treat!

tooth paste works great for some reason.

OR

at any instant carry Johnson & Johnson baby shower gel - no tears, for reals.

I haven't tried it yet with our masks, but I put all of our glasses and sunglasses into the ultrasonic cleaner and it works wonders!

I never heard this! I don't own a dishwasher any longer, but I'll find one! Just put it through a regular cycle with washing product? Or just water and dry?

....ok, I'll be the first one to say it. Really? :chuckle:
Sometimes dunking and rubbing works too, if you're in a jam.
