Cleaning Ocean Salt From Glasses

This tends to be a common problem in Hawaii. You come back from the beach and your glasses or sunglasses (or mask, goggles, etc) have dried ocean water on them.

Simply rinsing them in the sink doesn't always get the salt off and you don't want to wipe the salt off as that can make scratches.

If you have proper lens cleaning solution then use that as it's likely the best and safest option. If you don't, the next best bet seems to be regular soap. A liquid dish soap is best but failing that liquid or bar hand soap works well.

Just get some soap on your fingers first, run the glasses under hot tap water to rinse off the bulk, now very gently rub your soapy fingers on your glasses. Gently is the key here.

Now keep rubbing gently while you rinse them under the water. Hot water seems to work the best again so go as hot as your hands are comfortable with. Rub for a few seconds on each, rinse all the soap off, and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Should be good as new.
