Quick answer
To use the Rainbow Color Manual Contact Lens Cleaner correctly, wash and dry your hands, place one lens in the basket, fill the chamber with fresh contact lens solution, and rotate the lid to clean. Then rinse and store the lens in fresh solution.
Why handwashing comes before any tool
No manual cleaner replaces clean hands. Wash with soap and water, then dry with a lint-free towel. Even a tiny amount of tap water on your fingers can transfer germs to the lens or the cleaner, so drying matters as much as washing.
Solution choice and what not to use
Use only fresh multipurpose contact lens solution in the cleaner. Never use tap water, saliva, or homemade saline, because these do not disinfect and can introduce microbes. If your lens care routine includes a separate daily cleaner, follow your eye care professional’s instructions rather than mixing products inside the device.
When the manual cleaner is not enough
The Rainbow Color Manual Contact Lens Cleaner is a mechanical aid, not a sterilizer. It does not replace the rubbing step some lens care systems require, nor does it replace enzyme tablets or hydrogen peroxide systems if those are part of your prescribed routine. If your lenses feel uncomfortable after cleaning, remove them and consult your eye care professional.
Step-by-step: cleaning lenses with the Rainbow manual cleaner
- Wash and dry your hands: Wash with soap and water, then dry completely with a lint-free towel. Do not skip drying—moisture on your hands can transfer germs to the lens or the cleaner. Checkpoint: your hands should be completely dry before you touch the lens or the cleaner.
- Place one lens in the basket: Open the cleaner and put a single lens into the basket, concave side up. Handle only one lens at a time to avoid mixing them up. Checkpoint: never put two lenses in the same basket, as they can scratch each other.
- Fill with fresh solution: Pour fresh multipurpose contact lens solution into the chamber up to the fill line. Do not reuse solution from a previous cleaning. Checkpoint: use only fresh solution—reused solution loses its disinfecting ability.
- Rotate the lid to clean: Close the lid and rotate it as directed by the manufacturer. The rotation creates a gentle agitation that helps remove debris from the lens surface. Checkpoint: rotate smoothly, not forcefully, to avoid damaging the lens.
- Rinse and store the lens: Remove the lens from the basket and rinse it with fresh solution. Place it in a clean lens case filled with fresh solution for storage. Checkpoint: never store lenses in the cleaner itself—use a proper lens case.
- Clean the cleaner after use: Rinse the basket and chamber with fresh solution and let them air-dry completely with the lid open. Do not use tap water to clean the device. Checkpoint: air-drying helps prevent mold and bacterial growth between uses.
