Cleaning Anti-Fog Swim Goggles

To keep the anti-fog qualities of your swim goggles intact, be sure to clean and store them properly after each use. Most goggle makers pretreat the eyewear with a special anti-fog coating. Dangers of improper cleaning techniques are losing the anti-fog and scratching the lenses. Always use a soft, nonabrasive cloth on the goggles to prevent marring the lenses.

Instructions

    • 1

      Hold the goggles up to a light and look for grease smears such as fingerprints. If you see smears, add some white vinegar to a soft cloth.

    • 2

      Wipe the grease smears with the white vinegar and gently dab to remove the grease.

    • 3

      Rub the lenses on the outer and inner sides of the goggles with the cloth to lift water evaporation drops from the lenses.

    • 4

      Coat the lenses with the anti-fog treatment and use a fresh cloth to rub it around the entire inside and outer lenses.

    • 5

      Wipe off the remaining treatment with a dry corner of the cloth.
