I rinse and dry my goggles after every workout, but I have a large amount of black mildew growing between the rubber lining of the goggle and the hard plastic. It's really gross!!! I don't want to toss the goggles, they are still in great shape and money is really tight right now to buy new ones. I'm afraid that cleaning them with bleach will really bother my eyes.
How do I get this gross black mold out of there? It's creepy that it's so close to my eyes!!!

I've used WELL diluted bleach. Then I rinsed the whole goggle with Phisoderm (which I did get in my eye and I don't recommend washing the eye with Phisoderm!). More recently it was suggested to wash them with an anti-bacterial soap. The key is RINSING WELL!!!!
Perhaps drying them with a towel OR a hair-dryer set on cool.
I wear Barracudas with a white foam around the eye pieces. Some are more likely to develop a spore like mold and others don't. The indoor pair seem more prone to this than the outdoor pair. All are rinsed in cold water and hung up to dry.
