By Linda Smith


After you have purchased your wet suit, there is need to keep it clean to prevent it from stink. This type of clothing is used in diving in cold water. After the dive, an idea on how do I clean my wetsuit closes my mind. This is because extra care is needed to maintain it for a long time diving exercises. There are different ways for making your suit look fresh for a longer period of time.

You should remove your suit slowly with no hurry to prevent the zip. The chest zipped wet suits which are diagonal improves the comfort ability of the jacket. Diagonally placed zip costumes are not easy to take off. You are not supposed to pull off the top of the wetsuit using your thumbs. You are also supposed to sit when pulling out your foot out and not stand by one leg when removing the other.

Even if you dive many times, it is important wash the suit those many times at every moment you are out of water. Both inner and outer parts should be washed independently and same method used on one side should be done on the other. This is done to eliminate the odor which is created after the cloth dries before washing. When pulling it off, make sure you pour warm water on yourself.

It is advisable to turn the suit inside out every day after the wash until the last day when it will dry up. If you are not careful enough and turn your suit sides every day, the inner part will not dry marinating robber moisture which destroys the coat. Therefore, you should make sure the inside out part is completely dry the flip to the other side for a complete drying of the wet coat.

There is salt moisture which is formed when you do not flip your costume and they are dangerous since they are corrosive and damages the costume. Flipping allows it to dry faster since all the water collected from inside will not remain stagnant. Before taking it off the hanger, make sure it is completely dry to retain the fresh smell after you store it.

The zip is another gadget which although important to the costume, it can hide many salt particles and get destroyed faster than any other part. Therefore, the zip requires extra care when washing to increase the life span. Mix water with shampoo to wash the buckets by pouring it in them to retain shape and fresh smell.

To ensure the pee order does not last long on the suit, it is better to drink coffee before the dive. If you think this is not enough for maintaining and preventing the odor from coming out, there are other products like Mirazyme which are manufacture for this purpose since they can retain smell. It should also be added in the shampoo when washing to remove the smell from the suit completely.

Sling it properly after cleaning because if slugged by the shoulder or neck, it will stretch. It should be hanged using plastic hanger by sliding top or bottom doubling it up in the shade or in the garage. The bad idea is to hang it on direct sun light or over the balcony. It should be hanged inside out.
