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!!!

Alcohol and Q-tips. However, I found this kind of stripped the film layer off the inside of the goggles. Nonetheless, I continue to wear them because they don't leak and can't find any others that don't, even the same brand.
Why, oh why, do swim manufacturers keep changing where they make their things? Since, dear, oh dear, the same brand, the same product, the same everything suddenly no longer works, so obviously some subtle change has occurred.
Moral: Buy 40 pairs of goggles you like and that don't leak. They should last you your lifetime of swimming.
Haha!! So true!!! Alcohol and Q-tips is a great idea. Can't believe I didn't even think of that!!!
Thanks for all of the ideas!!
