help - p-valve problem has left pee stains

[octopete]

hi

slightly embaressing problem but hope someone can help. have membrane drysuit and after issue with p-valve suffered a slight case of urine inside the drysuit

problem is ive washed with shampoo (the mcnett stuff) and although thats cleared up the smell, theres stains left on the inside, presumably by the urine (kind of looks that way). like dark ring marks.

i looked about for some stain remover tips, tryed washing liquid, vinegar, bicarbonate soda but so far no luck.
does anyone have any tips for what i can use to get rid of the ringmarks/stains that is not going to damage the drysuit?

also noticed some mildew spots elsewhere, so by the by if anyone knows how to remove those too even better...

sigh!!

be greatful for any tips,
pete

Well... if it's clean and it doesn't smell then a pee-valve malfunction just makes for a good story. I personally wouldn't worry about it.

Cool. I hope someone can help you.

The obvious approach would be to stain the entire suit evenly... LOL Just kidding. I really do hope someone can help you solve this.

An alternative is to apply a solution that will stain the entire area... probably not urine.

Call Steve Gamble and ask, he's the man when it comes to drysuits.

Tea is the solution.

Doubt you'll get rid of the stain, not that a stain really matters. But seriously, call Steve Gamble in Gainesville, FL. If he says you're screwed, you can take that to the bank.

Try a soak in Simple Green. Not saying it will work, but it will not hurt.

Tea is the solution.

To removing existing stains? Or promoting the addition of future stains?
