So the other day when I was swimming, I noticed some black spots on my goggles around the silicone parts (I wear vanquishers). At first I thought that it was just mascara that had rubbed off *waterproof mascara is not really waterproof*. I cleaned them with soap and water, put them in their case in my bag, and went on my way.
Well they are back, and I haven't worn mascara for several days. EWWW!
I soaked them in a solution of bleach and water, used a q-tip to get the nasties out of the silicone (which was a pain in the butt!). I washed them really well after that in soap and water again. I hung them up to dry in my bathroom.
Any tips on how to keep them clean and keep this from happening? I'm sure this was asked before but I couldn't find it. The case I use is mesh and I keep them in my mesh side pocket of my bag.
i ditto PWB on the baby shampoo dilution for keeping goggles clean and fog free! In fact I learned this trick from him here on this forum.
Sometimes I just wash my goggles while I'm in the shower with the liquid soap in the dispenser on the wall; it works almost as well as the baby shampoo.
I have never had goggles turn cruddy on the silicone. I do not store mine in a container, I just lay them on top of whatever is in my bag. I also alternate goggles meaning I use them every other swim. I'm trying to avoid permanent eye-socket gr0oves in my head.
To PWB: Do you have any pics of yourself back in your clubbing days with your mascara eyes? :applaud:
