washing and drying flotation suits

[codcatcher3000]

as above lads ? do u reckon a 30 degree wash with a full spin will damage me floaty . intending to wash without detergent then placing it in the dryer on a low setting ? any suggestions as to any other optimal way of cleaning floaties?

mine goes in on a cold wash then hang it on line mate but other people may have better options, mine always cums up brand new this way though

[regpude]

I but

is it still water proof ? tight lines

[kenny]

I but

yeah

If its just muddy scrub it with a hard brush and hot water (no soap)
If it stinks I put mine through a cool wash with soap spin it a couple of times and re-proof it.

Using my Entec 2 for the 5th winter & all I do with mine is clean it with a mild soapy solution then spray some fabreze on it & hang it on the line outside for a good airing off.

We use the shower head, warm water, wee bit of fairy liquid, light brush, hang to dry. Works well, still waterproof. Personally I would never risk the washing machine.

I usually hang mine on the washing line and hose down with cold water. If it`s a bit grubby I just sponge it down with a bit of washing up liquid. Still as waterproof as when I got it 5 years ago.

I would go with the two previous posts hose or sponge down and dry, don't put it in a washing machine or dryer

Av had mine in washn machine, I bought some cleaner/water proofer from blacks outdoor shop and use that when it gets a tad smelly
