Mildew/Mold Spots on the insides of gloves

[al248005]

After diving my drysuit last week, I rinsed the suit off and turned it inside out EXCEPT for the gloves (blue zipseal gloves). I forgot to pull the gloves through to dry them out. When rinsing my suit after today's dives I noticed black mildew/mold spots on the inside of the gloves. The problem is just isolated to the gloves and not the rest of the suit. The rest of the suit dried completely but the gloves didn't since they were tucked up in the sleeve when I turned the suit inside out. Is there any hope in saving the gloves? Can I clean them and if so what kind of soap would I use?

Hi al248005,

Not to worry. Use Simple Green. Remove your gloves from the suit (it is so much easier this way). Turn them inside out. Give them a good cleaning with the solution. Rinse well and let dry completely. Re-attach and you'll be ready to dive.

Have fun -
