A great pair of swimming goggles can make all the difference in your swimming experience, but proper care is essential to maintain clarity, durability, and comfort. At Clearr, we design goggles with advanced technology, but to maximize their lifespan, it’s important to follow a few simple maintenance steps.
1. Rinse After Every Use
After swimming, rinse your goggles with fresh, cool water to remove chlorine, salt, and other residues that can damage the lenses and seals. Avoid using hot water, as it can degrade the materials.
2. Avoid Touching the Inside of the Lenses
Clearr goggles come with a special anti-fog coating to keep your vision clear. Touching or rubbing the inside of the lenses can wear down this coating, reducing its effectiveness. Instead, rinse and air-dry your goggles naturally.
3. Store Properly
Always store your goggles in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Leaving them loose in a swim bag with other items can cause lens scratches and deformations in the strap.
4. Keep Them Dry
Before storing your goggles, make sure they are completely dry. Trapped moisture can lead to mold and bacteria buildup, causing unpleasant odors and potential skin irritation.
5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat
Excessive heat and direct sunlight can weaken the silicone straps and damage the lens coating. Store your goggles in a cool, dry place to maintain their integrity.
6. Replace Straps When Needed
Over time, even high-quality straps may lose elasticity. If your goggles start feeling loose or uncomfortable, consider replacing the straps instead of buying a whole new pair.
7. Use an Anti-Fog Spray for Extra Protection
While Clearr goggles have built-in anti-fog technology, applying an anti-fog spray occasionally can extend the effect, especially for frequent swimmers. Just spray lightly and rinse before use.
8. Check for Wear and Tear
Inspect your goggles regularly for signs of cracking, loose seals, or stretched straps. Catching minor issues early can prevent discomfort or leaks during your swim.
Final Thoughts
With proper care, your Clearr swimming goggles can stay in top condition for a long time, ensuring fog-free, clear vision every time you hit the water. By following these simple steps, you can prolong their lifespan and enjoy a comfortable, hassle-free swim.
Take care of your goggles, and they’ll take care of your vision!
