I bought a large Rubbermade storage bin from Home Depot. I soak my stuff in the bin and then hang it all in the garage to dry.

I use a plastic party tub that you put a beer keg in. Soak my neoprene in luke warm water with Aquaseal wesuit shampoo and leave overnight. When the boots get to stinkin I soak them separate in a 5 gal bucket with the same solution and add Listerine mouthwash. All the rubber gets hosed down after soaking and then dried.

Dive skins get a machine wash on a light cycle.

BC gets hosed down and the bladder gets rinsed out a couple times and drained. About twice a season and end of season I add "Aquaseal BC Life" to the bladder and rinse. Slightly inflate the BC and put on a hanger.

Regs and computer get a hose rinse and 2nd stages soak in a bucket of warm water under pressure for about 30 mins.

Tanks, accessories, fins, and mask get a hose rinse.

Now you know... I spend as much time cleaning my gear as I do blowing bubbles.

I know your PITA... The time matter has been my concern, too. Now, I can complete all washing job within 25 min.
