Some people say that this method is from their optometrists.They say the paste of water and baking soda can remove most of bacteria and deposits and leave little abrasion at the same time. But if I were you I might don't wanna give a try.After all,baking soda has a pH more than 7,which means it may stimulate my eyes more or less.Moreover,if baking soda cannot dissolve completely,I guess it may still be a little abrasive.Besides,people who use baking soda also say they just use it occasionally. Using a product formulated specificity for cleaning the contacts may be reassuring.
