I rinse them in clean water to clean and use defogging drop or spit to keep them defogged.

I keep a teaspoon of water in each lens so the water is continuously sloshing the fog off the inside of the lens.

That's a new method to me. My fear would be the water in there would go into my eye, which is exactly what I'm trying to prevent with the goggles. However, just a little water in there might not bother much.

no, it's not a joke. It's a technique a swim coach gave out during a pre-race lecture. I tried it and it works great. It might be weird at first to see that little bit of water inside your lens when you're looking straight down at the bottom of the pool/ocean but you get used to it. You don't fill up the goggles full of water - just enough so that the small amount of water can slide around and clear out the condensation. It's also a snorkeling/scuba technique I believe.

Whenever I get a tiny bit of water in my goggles, it slides around and gets into my eyes when I turn to breathe. Then I spend the day looking like I have a diseased eye

I see this working if you are only looking down toward the bottom of the pool.
However I like breathing air, so when I turn my head I find the water gets into my eyes as well.
The anti fog drops work pretty well and they are on like $1 a bottle.

I'm not sure if I have been swimming to long or what the deal is, but I've always just dealt with foggy goggles. In my 18 years or so of competitive swimming I've never found a 100% full proof method to prevent fogging goggles, I've just kinda learned to deal with it. In a race I will clear my goggles before we start and go from there. Maybe once you learn to accept it like the headwind on the ride it is an easier thing to deal with. Anyway just my 2 cents.
WAR EAGLE!
I've seen many posts on preventing goggles from fogging... seems that spit and baby shampoo are the top choices.
What about cleaning? I dropped my brand new goggles this morning -- I was able to catch them on the way down, but when I grabbed them I managed to jam my thumb right on the inside of the lens. Brilliant. Now I'm swimming with a big fat thumbprint in front of my eye.
Is spit/baby shampoo the way to get rid of it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
