How to Clean Swim Goggles

As a mom of 5 swimmers, I’ve asked this question from readers online at least 4-5 times a week, “How to Clean Swim Goggles?” With summer right around the corner, I know it’s a question that I will keep on getting, so I wanted to take a moment to write a blog post on how to clean swimming goggles.

How to Clean Swim Goggles

If you’ve ever wondered how to clean swim goggles this is the post for you! I was a competitive swimmer throughout my childhood, so this was always something I had to keep in mind, too. When my 5 kids started to swim it became something that I just knew had to be done.

I can’t believe how many swimmers don’t clean their goggles. It’s something that is important because goggles protect your eyes underwater. You want you goggles to be clean and have good hygiene with them. You probably clean your bathing suits and towels, right – so you need to clean goggles, too.

There are many suggestions on how to clean swim goggles out there. Honestly – there are a variety of ways how to clean goggles. I like to go with the simplest ways, but I also like to make sure I’m cleaning the goggles as best as can be. Eye health is so important and goggles can hold lots of yucky stuff if you’re not careful.

Whether you’re using swim goggles in a pool or at the beach, there are “things” in the water that you need to be conscious and aware about. You have chemicals in pool water that can effect your goggles. You have salt in the ocean water that can effect your goggles. It’s essential to make sure everything is off your goggles.
