How do you clean your gear?

[2Sisterz]

How do you recommend cleaning a mask/snorkel and fins after they have been stored for a long time? Going to the southern caribbean soon and the set I have hasn't been used in a long time. Still looks in great shape, but I just need advice on how to carefully clean them all up!

Soak everything in warm water for 20-30 minutes then towel dry it all. If you think you need to use soap, I'd go with baby shampoo.

Bruce R plus a half cup of bleach if you are paranoid .... then rinse everything really really well.

 

I am and I do ... 'cept my dive stuff seldom sits this long so this is simply what I do after a trip where the gear has been getting daily rinses and b4 I put it into storage ... then again b4 the next trip if it has been longer than a month

There ia a clearer called Sink the Stick that you can get at dive shops. Give it a try-I would recomend it over bleach.

That product is made especially for wetsuit washing.

 

Nearly everyone pees in their wetsuit. Not everyone will admit it however.
