What detergent to use for cleaning Regs

[Onetouchcomfort2021@gmail]

I will dunk ours in odoban then fresh water and let air dry but not 100% sure this is good or bad but haven't had any problems as of yet. So don't take my way as right just what we do lol

Maybe there's also something out there that will break down salts, but not oils.

I believe the technical term for it is “water”

I just use fresh water, hose things off like fins and boots and drysuit, hood. Regs mask and other hard items soak over night in a bucket of water with a pinch of chlorine. I cap the inlet with proper caps and let them soak, proper caps are like good DIN caps that seal on the face o ring, for yoke caps like Zeagle, Atomic,Sherwood, deep6 etc. not the new Scuba pro that are just dust caps.

camera and computers soak in a sink with warm water and a drop of liquid hand soap for a surfactant.

I don’t like to let my gear in a chlorinated pool, much less a “pinch of chlorine”. I would think that would be pretty brutal on things like regs, wetsuits BCD…

When I started diving, it was recommended to buy a pint bottle of vodka to pour into your BCD. I kept buying the vodka, but never got around to pouring in the BC.

I eventually came up with a better solution. Buy a solid black BCD and pretend there is nothing growing in it. Works great…

Water?! You should look into (edit) DiHydrogen Monoxide, a potent chemical. Some crazy people even drink it.

Water?! You should look into Hydrogen Dioxide, a potent chemical. Some crazy people even drink it.

I think you mean diHydrogen Monoxide, though I’ve also heard it as Hydrogen Hydroxide.

I prefer hydrogen hydroxide. Definitely the most effective salt solvent out there.

Rinse all gear in fresh water. Spray 1st stage down only no soak. Second stages I spray a an antibacterial agent into mouthpiece only (fabuloso brand here in mx) and soak in fresh water.
