How to Care for Your Swim Goggles
No one wants blurred vision racing down the pool. It's important to take a moment to care for your swim goggles regularly. Caring for your goggles doesn't take much effort or time, but can prolong the life and condition of this piece of equipment that's crucial to this sport. Here are some tips on how to prolong the life of your goggles.
In the Pool
A new pair of goggles will usually have an anti-fog coating inside the lens. Swimmers often will rub the inside of their goggles with a finger or towel to prevent fogging on the lens. Be careful! This de-fogging method may cause damage and rub off the coating. If your goggles do become foggy, there are anti-fog sprays and de-fogging solutions that will help keep the lenses clear for your next swim. Simply spray one or two squirts in your goggles before you hop in the pool. Some swimmers even use their tongue (sounds funny, we know!) to clean the lens, which has been known to keep the lenses clearer for longer.
After Your Workout
After swimming make sure to rinse your goggles in cold fresh water. Rinsing off the chlorine and pool chemicals will help prolong the life of your goggles. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or hot water as this may cause the rubber to melt or screen to crack. Lay them out flat to dry in a cool place. Try to let your goggles dry as much as possible before placing them in your swim bag or towel. The leftover water residue in the goggles might cause bacteria or mold to grow, which can damage the goggles.
For Your Next Swim
Storing your goggles in their protective case prevents scratches and exposure to outside elements. Taking the time to care for your goggles after each swim will help to keep them in pristine condition for many workouts to come.

Avoid rubbing the lenses with a cloth, towel, fingers or anything else, especially if they have an anti-fog coating. Rubbing the lenses can damage the coating. If your goggles are treated with an anti-fog coating, rinse them in water only. Do not allow any soap or detergent to come in contact with the lenses.

Sunscreen shouldn't cause any harm to the rubber on your goggles but chemicals in a pool can. It's always best to rinse the goggles in fresh cold water after each use to rid anything that may be on the goggles.

At this time we do not carry goggles without antifog coating. To prevent smearing the antifog coating we recommend only rubbing the outside of the goggle as rubbing the inside will damage the lenses.

Many people use the baby shampoo method where you apply the shampoo to the goggles and gently rub with fingers then rinse with cold water. If your googles have the anti fog coating, then you might have to re apply the coating. If you need to purchase the coating, we offer the JAWS Quick Spit Antifog. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately we do not have any goggles that are 100% rubber free. We do have the Swedish goggles that do not have any rubber gaskets, but the straps are made out of rubber.
One of our popular and highest rated from customers is our Sporti Antifog Swedish Goggle Bungee Strap. You can view that by the link below:
