Swimmer and triathletes have used baby shampoo on swim goggles for years, it’s a simple and cost-effective method to prevent fogging. Here's why:

Gentle Formula: Baby shampoo is known for its gentle formula, which is mild and safe for the delicate skin and eyes of infants. Using it on swim goggles minimizes the risk of irritation or discomfort that may be caused by harsher chemicals or cleaning agents.

Anti-Fog Properties: Baby shampoo contains surfactants that help reduce surface tension and prevent the build-up of water droplets on the goggles' lenses. This property helps to minimise fogging and maintain clear vision during swimming.

 Residue Removal: Baby shampoo can effectively remove oils, dirt, and residue that accumulate on the lenses over time. These substances can contribute to fogging and hinder visibility. By cleaning the goggles with baby shampoo, you can keep the lenses clean and free from obstructions.

 Cost-Effective Solution: Baby shampoo is readily available and affordable compared to specialised anti-fog sprays or cleaning solutions. Many swimmers already have baby shampoo at home, making it a convenient and budget-friendly option for treating swim goggles.

When using baby shampoo on swim goggles, it's important to follow these steps:

Dilute: Mix a small amount of baby shampoo with water in a bowl or your hand. The exact ratio may vary, but a common guideline is about a teaspoon of baby shampoo in a cup of water.

 Clean: Gently rub the diluted baby shampoo solution on the inside and outside of the goggles' lenses. Use your fingers or a soft cloth to remove any residue, oils, or dirt.

Rinse: Thoroughly rinse the goggles with clean water to remove any remaining shampoo or residue. Be sure to rinse them well to prevent any potential eye irritation.

Dry: Allow the swim goggles to air dry completely before using or storing them. Avoid using towels or other materials that may leave lint on the lenses.

Anti-Fog Spray: Apply an anti-fog coating or spray specifically designed for swim goggles. These coatings create a thin layer on the inside of the lenses that prevents fog from forming. Before each swim, ensure the coating is still intact and reapply if necessary. Make sure to thoroughly rinse your goggles to avoid eye damage.

Spit and Rinse Method: Before wearing your goggles, spit or use your tongue on the inside of the lenses. Rinse the goggles with clean water to remove excess saliva. This method may sound unappealing, but the enzymes in saliva can create a temporary anti-fog effect.

Proper Goggle Fit: Ensure your swim goggles fit properly and create a seal around your eyes. A snug and watertight fit helps to prevent water from entering the goggles, reducing the chances of fogging.

Rinse with Water: Rinse your goggles with clean water before each swim. This removes any residue or chemicals that may contribute to fogging. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses as this can transfer oils from your fingers, which can promote fogging.

Avoid Touching the Lenses: Minimise touching the inside of the lenses, as the oils from your fingers can transfer onto the lens surface and cause fogging. If you do accidentally touch the inside of the lenses, rinse them with water to remove any oils.

Keep Goggles Dry: Store your goggles in a cool and dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or in a damp environment, as this can contribute to fogging.

Avoid Wiping the Inside of the Lenses: If your goggles do fog up during a swim, resist the urge to wipe the inside of the lenses with your fingers or a towel. This can further spread oils and make the fogging worse. Instead, lift the goggles slightly away from your face to allow fresh air to circulate and help clear the fog.

Goggle Defogger Solutions: Use commercially available swim goggle defogger or anti-fog solutions or drops. Apply a few drops to the inside of the lenses, spread the solution evenly, and rinse with water before wearing the goggles.
