If you’re anything like us, you’ll know there's NOTHING worse than getting into a good swim groove and having your favorite goggles fog up on you.

In this blog you’ll learn how to properly clean and protect your swimming goggles and what you should be avoiding putting on them, so you can continue your blissful swims.

PICTURE THIS

You’ve just smashed your swim session, your equipment has served you well and you’re feeling great.

The last thing you’re thinking about is washing your goggles, because they clean themselves in the water, right? Wrong.

It’s important to take the time to clean your swimming goggles after you’ve been using them as this will help them perform better, last longer, and avoid scratching.

It’s simpler than you think...

The inner surface of most swimming goggles has a fine silicone layer which helps to reduce fogging and to provide comfort. Rubbing or drying them manually will damage it and could leave you with foggy goggles and no one wants that!

You might be tempted to use gentle soap on your goggles for a sparkly clean finish but it’s simpler than you think...

After a swim all you need to do is rinse gently in clear cold water after each use and allow to air dry.

Avoid getting the soap onto the lenses or gaskets of your goggles. Soap can strip away the anti-fog coating on goggles.

Rinse gently in clear cold water after each use and allow to air dry.

Keep your dry goggles/mask in a storage bag or case when not in use.

Avoid scratches and breakages by not storing them next to rigid items.
