Cleaning Gear - Natural Options?

[craigz]

Hello-

Does anyone have a suggestion for a natural, non-toxic, non-chemical product that works well for cleaning wet suits, BC's, etc.?

Thanks!
Craig

Have you tried water? It works pretty well for me

Use whatever you already use to wash clothes.

There are commercial products available through your local dive shop. Most of these products have been tested specifically for compatability with dive equipment. Cleaning products that are not specifically for dive equipment are not recommended.

I use fresh water.

Immerse often and usually agitate for 30-45 min and then let dry. Repeat as often as possible.

uhh, good luck... You aren't gonna find anything other than dhmo but that isn't going to work for everything. Simple Green is your next best bet, but it's certainly not natural or non chemical.
What other liquid type things to we have that are non natural or chemical?

grr avoiding gripe as a textile engineer.... knowing all of the stuff that we use to dye clothes and every other textile product everyone uses....

Like the 200 gallons of water that is required to make every INDIVIDUAL tea bag...

Plain old tub of water to soak the gear in overnight. Hang up the next morning and you're done.
