Cleaning Your Swimming Goggles Correctly

Wearing swimming goggles will help to prevent chemicals such as chlorine from damaging the surface of your eyes.  These same chemicals are also hard on your swimming goggles so it is important that you clean them after each use. This will help to extend the life of the goggles.

  • After every use you need to make sure that you rinse them in either lukewarm or cool tap water. All you have to do is just hold them under the water and let the water run over the front and back of the goggles.  Do not rub the lenses with your fingers, a cloth towel, or anything else as this can damage the coating on the lenses.  It is an anti-fog coating.  You should use just plain water and no type of detergent.
  • If you have swimming goggles Sydney that does not have an anti-fog coating you can use baby shampoo or a mild soap on them. Use a soft sponge to clean them.  Put the detergent or shampoo on a wet sponge to clean them, including the frame and strap. 
  • Once you have washed them using either method let them air dry. Make sure that you air dry them out of the sun.  Do not put them in a case until they are completely dry.  If you store them while they are wet it can cause bacteria and mold to grow.  It will generally take about sixty minutes for them to completely dry but it all depends on the type of goggles.
  • If your goggles are still dirty after rinsing you can wash them in a solution of hot water and vinegar, but only if they do not have an anti-fog coating. You will need to mix five tablespoons of white vinegar in a bowl of hot water.  The bowl needs to be large enough to submerge the prescription swim goggles Australia in completely.  Soak them for two hours and then use cold tap water to rinse them before you let them air dry.

By doing this each time that you use your swim goggles you will increase the life span of your goggles.
