DOES YOUR DIVING EQUIPMENT ODOR AFTER A DIVE? DISCOVER OUR TIPS FOR THOROUGHLY CLEANING AND DISINFECTING NEOPRENE SUITS AND ACCESSORIES!
Maintaining your diving gear in good condition requires regular cleaning and disinfection, and some clothing items require special care to provide the protection you need. However, be careful about the cleaning or disinfection products you use, as not all are suitable for diving gear. Some disinfection products can damage neoprene, silicone, or rubber parts.
Moreover, due to its porous structure, neoprene absorbs and retains liquids, so if a given piece of clothing is not properly disinfected, it may become a carrier of potentially pathogenic bacteria or fungi.
This disinfectant has been specially formulated for cleaning and disinfecting water sports products and is ideal for disinfecting wetsuits, drysuits, wetsuits, gloves, boots, and neoprene accessories. Its triple action: fungicidal, virucidal, and bactericidal, guarantees complete disinfection of diving equipment in minutes, while also eliminating unpleasant odors and refreshing.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS FOR CLEANING AFTER EACH DIVE:
1. Be sure to thoroughly rinse your suit in cold or lukewarm water as soon as possible after diving (it's best to use a container to reduce water consumption), then submerge it in water. For a quick clean, you can use ScubaClean Spray, which should be sprayed all over the surface and then rinsed thoroughly with running water.
2. Be sure to pay special attention to the zipper, as salt residue may be present there. If there is a significant amount of salt residue, clean the zipper and then lubricate it with the manufacturer's recommended lubricant or wax.
3. Hang the suit to dry on a wide hanger to avoid deformation in the shoulder area, away from direct sunlight, to avoid discoloration or cracking of the neoprene.
4. Once the suit is dry, turn it inside out to prevent mold. Then, place the equipment in waterproof containers and store it in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources, to protect it from moisture and temperature fluctuations.
TEARS OR HOLES IN YOUR NEOPRENE SUITS OR ACCESSORIES?
If you notice any tears or holes in your suit while cleaning your diving gear, don't waste time and repair them as soon as possible to avoid further damage! For a quick repair of your neoprene suit and accessories, you can use black neoprene glue or high-strength glue and sealant.
