I fell in a small, but very muddy, river recently. The only good news is that I was on my own with no-one to laugh hysterically at my lack of grace.
Unfortunately, my binoculars got very muddy as they were in the hand I used to stop the rest of me becoming submerged. I dried them out, but they're very foggy still. I think it must be because the lenses are grimey on the inside.
I'm thinking of soaking them in warm, soapy water. Is that a good idea, or would it ruin them? What would you do?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew.
I'm no expert on binoculars, but I would definately advise against putting them in soapy water. I think your best bet and possibly your only chance of saving them would be to put them somewhere warm in the hope that they will dry out. Unfortunately they may already be ruined.
Thanks, though they have already dried out, but I can't leave them as they are. It's worth trying something...
