50/50 J&J Baby Shampoo and water

 

[ymy]

100% baby shampoo. Let it dry for a bit. No rinsing.

 

[nickjb]

Spit and rinse before every dive.

Start with a dry mask. Rub in any soap (shampoo & dis soap both work well), let it dry at least overnight.

Johnson's baby shampoo, small amount, rinse well. The best solution? Don't breath through your nose while diving

100% no tears baby shampoo. apply a small amount to a dry mask, smear around, let dry and rinse before use. An old Visine eye drop bottle makes a great applicator.

I take the easy way, 500 PSI. Works great but probably more expensive than the above solutions.

START with a CLEAN mask. Get out the Crest (or other non-abrasive toothpaste) and scrup the inside of your mask with your fingers or a soft wash cloth. Do it a couple of times!!! This is contraindicated with some masks by the manufacturer (like the Sea Vision Mask) so read the directions. AFTER you get it clean, you will find that most of the remedies stated above will work FAR BETTER. After I get mine clean though, I like to use "Absolutely Clear" which is a paste that you apply, let dry and then buff out. Works great for me AND my students.
