By Pamela Scott


You can prolong the lifespan of wetsuit if it is maintained on a regular basis. This is because the garment is majorly used for insulation during diving expeditions. The advantages always override the maintenance costs. It only takes a little effort and skill to use a good wetsuit cleaner as discussed below.

Some of these practices maybe simple but have a great impact on boosting the lifetime of the garment. It is advisable, that you do a thorough rinsing with a lot of clean water after washing the diving suit. You should also make sure that both sides of the clothing are cleaned properly. This will remove any dirt particles and chlorine. Remember chlorine is a bleaching agent and can discolor your suit.

Soak the suit in a bathtub or any deep container you may have for about half an hour. This loosens dirt and makes the wetsuit easy to clean. Wash it by rubbing the garment against itself repeatedly. This simple act ensures that sensitive areas of the clothing are thoroughly cleaned. These areas include the collar parts which accumulate a lot of sweat.

In addition, it should always be kept in a well air-conditioned place. This moderates the temperatures and making sure that they do not exceed the recommended levels. It is important to note that high temperatures can cause the fabric to lose its firmness, thereby affecting its performance. This should, therefore, be highly monitored.

Take time to inspect your suit on a daily basis after use. This is to identify any tears along the seams. If they exist a necessary action should be taken before it is cleaned. For tears and gouges re-sewing with a heavy nylon thread or repairing it with wetsuit cement respectively will help fix the problem. On the contrary, stitching small holes causes leaks. This, therefore, requires that only blind stitching method should be used to avoid this problem. Alternatively, consider flatlock stitches to repair it well.

Use strong sweat removing detergents like shampoo. When a quality scented shampoo is sprayed on the wetsuit it makes it fragrant and free from bad smell. It also removes dark spots and salt traces which may remain on the zipper after thorough rinsing. It also saves the garment from discoloration by acting as a conditioner that retains the original shade of the fabric.

During washing, both the inside and outer parts should be thoroughly cleaned. Then drying should be done inside-out first before drying the outside. This should be done in a cool shade to avoid the disastrous effects of UV rays from the. The radiations from the sun make the fabric to weaken and fade easily which gives it a bad appearance.

The use of odor eliminating agents such as Mizaryme and Listerine should be used in considerable amounts. This aids in making sure that bad smells due to the accumulation of sweat and body dirt are removed. Your wetsuit will then remain fresh and ready for use. Thorough cleaning of a diving suit removes bacteria that can cause bad odors and deterioration of the fabric.
