Smelly Boots

[Xarifa]

sink the stink works

Ditto what Steve said--I throw them in the sink with two Sink the Stink 'packets' and just enough water to cover--and soak them overnight before rinsing--then toss them out to dry in the sun.

The key is to do it each time --before they reach the point of no return...(at least that's what I've heard...not that I've ever had stinky boots of my own....) ;-)

Not sure if it will work on neoprene, but for my bait coolers I throw a hand in covered in vanilla extract in. 2 days all the fish smell is gone.

Take your dive booties diving. When you get home take them out of the dive bag and let them air out. The sun can be helpful but bring them in when they are dry. They will be fine and the smell with go away.

I stick cardboard tubes in my boots to help keep them open so they can dry more effectively.

Sink the Stink is the best thing EVER. Ok in a very narrow discussion.... the best ever. Seriously, we never dive without it.

Cut the bottom off a Styrofoam cup. Works better than cardboard.

Stinky boots? Park them in the garage.

Same as for the notorious "pee"ers out there...

Odorxit, Zymeaway, Natures Miracle...

You'll thank me later.

I bought a small spray bottle at Walmart, fill it with a mixture of "Sink the Stink" and water (25% SS/75% H20) and keep it with my dive gear. When finished diving, rinse boots with water, apply a liberal spraying from the bottle until you wash gear. After washing, another light spray on the inside of boots and sun dry. Seems to work pretty good.
