  1. Please do not use a window cleaner for an anti-fog goggles - the cleaner isn;t designed to clean goggles and besides you'll just ruin yours.  Use an anti-fog spray (Speedo has one online); spray on the goggles, leave it for an hour and rinse.


  2. Spit on them before you dive! that's what all the divers do anyway! Where have you been?

  3. Soap

    Take a bar of non-abraisive soap and soak it in a bit of hot water for a few minutes to soften it up (liquid soap works just as good). Once soft, scrape off a bit of the softened soap and put a light film of soap on the inside of the goggle lens. Once the film is dry, carefully buff the lens clear with a soft cloth. This is usually good for several hours of riding.

    Taters

    This technique must have been the brainchild of Idaho potato farmers, but it does work. Cut a slice off a spud and carefully rub the white part on the inner lense of the goggle. Like the soap technique, let the spud juice dry and buff the lense clear with a soft cloth. If you want, bake up the rest of the spud and eat it for dinner. I prefer lots of sour cream & bacon bits.  

    Spit

    I read that skin divers use this technique, but in my experience, it will get you by in a pinch, but not as effective as others (doesn't last very long).

    Car Wax

    Wax On! Wax Off! Just about everyone has some of this stuff in their garage and it does work pretty well. Just make sure to use wax, not paint cleaners as they'll scratch your goggle lens

  4. just don't spray the cleaner on the seal. Yes, depending on the type of cleaner and what was used in the seal, the seal might come loose.

    Solution: Buy swedish goggles or socket rockets - no seal needed.
