Gonna break out the wet suit this weekend. Like a moron did not clean it at the end of last season. What product or products do you guys recomend to freshen up my funky suit? Thanks Charlie

for my suits I use a wetsuit cleaner/conditioner by O'neil.

But if you need a quickfix soak it in a tub with warm water and a little dish soap. Let it soak for a while then rinse it, dry it, should be good to go.

same with those sink sponges

ever get one thats sat wet for too long and it smells like P-U !

well i found out by setting them out in the rain
it completely eliminates all that Oder quite mysteriously

i think it has to do with enzymes...not really sure...

same thing with blood

i had a blood stain on a shirt from a nose bleed
that would never come out even after five washings

then one day i took it off outside and left it on the wall
LATER .....it rained that night

the next day the blood stain was gone

Don't use dish soap. It is much too harsh for the neoprene. It will eventually break it and the sealed seams down.

Spend 6 bucks and get Mcnetts wetsuit and drysuit shampoo. The 8 oz bottle will last you two years.

For now just hose it off well and hang it to dry then turn it inside out to dry that side.

I use Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo on mine every so often. No damage to my last suit from the soap after 6 seasons of use.
