When I worked at a dive shop, we used soft scrub to remove the manufacturing film. Then the spray bottle of baby shampoo/water for a quick defog.

If your mask is brand new, you need to first remove an invisible film left over from manufacturing. If you don't, your mask will continue to fog easily. To prepare your mask, use your fingers to vigorously rub a small amount of non-gel toothpaste onto the inside of each lens surface. This removes the manufacturers film. Rinse thoroughly. It's only necessary to do this in the beginning. After that, you can use spit or commercial defog and enjoy better, clearer (and safer) diving.

on 4/3/2006 The best method I've seen is to rinse the lens with a mix of baby shampoo and water (can be in a spray bottle), then rinse once in water.
It is also vital to scrub the lens of a new mask with toothpaste.
