how to make the contacts you have been wearing already way too long fresh like the first time


of course the author is not a certified doctor so this is not advice. entertainment purposes only. do it at your own risk. repeat that last sentence.


  • wash them with the soap --
    • a drop or too
    • (touch clean hands to the container since it isn't a dropper bottle -- the amount that will cover tip of your finger is good --no need to overdo --
    • rub them between your fingers. like you were doing dishes. -- .
  • rinse good
    • can use a jar
        • with eight oz filtered water and 1/8 tsp (recipe for saline)
        • shake it THREE TIMES.
      • or can use running water for a long ass time
        • keeping hold of them well -- do not lose down drain!!
        • if you do important to soak in saline at end
        • then a little tea tree
        • (same amount as soap )
        • this will get off deposits and gunk as well as disinfect)
  • then soap and then water or saline rinse AGAIN.
        • you may omit one go round and start with the tea tree soap
      • but only if it wasn't too bad in the first place.
  • then 'rinse' in the secret rinse that i am patenting.
        • hands very clean ?
        • nails scrubbed?
        • spray off with bottled saline.
  • if you can let them soak then for like 5 min in bottled saline.
          • is the container clean?
          • make sure its disinfected -- alcohol and then a long rinse is good
  • put them in


  • et voilá

  6. put one tablespoon sugar (or one washed eggshell) in jar
  7. pour water in jar to just over three-fourths full
  8. stir to wet coffee and dissolve sugar
  9. tighten lid with towel over jar and oven mitt on
  10. gently shake
  11. GENTLY AND QUICKLY OPEN JAR JUST A LITTLE -- HOT LIQUID WILL BE FORCIBLY EXPELLED which is why the towel and oven mitt
  12. tighten lid

  14. tighten lid
  15. one more time GENTLY AND QUICKLY OPEN JAR JUST A LITTLE - no more should be expelled
