How to Get the Grime Off of Swim Goggles

1. Rinse the goggles after each use with tap water. Do not use fingers to wipe the goggles because of oils on fingertips and rough edges which might scratch the lens. Hang the goggles on a hook or flat on a towel and allow to air dry.
2. Store the goggles in a case when dry to protect them from scratching.

3. Remove stains and water residue by mixing equal amounts of water and white vinegar in a bowl. Soak the goggles in the mixture for an hour. Swish the goggles in the bowl before removing and then rinse with tap water. Hang the goggles up to air dry.
4. Put on latex gloves and rub standard toothpaste gently on the goggle lens if water spots or grime remain. Make sure that the toothpaste is not gel or the kind with a grainy texture. Let the toothpaste sit on the goggles for a few minutes, then rinse well with tap water.
5. Rinse the goggle straps regularly with water to keep chlorine or salt residue away from the lens.
