well i have tried the old soeap and water in the shower and well i still smell lake in my bedroom ? maybe you guys can help me out here what are your ways of cleaning that wanderful lake smell
 
If you urinate in it during diving you will never smell the lake again

Coffee sometimes??

But really, Miltons fluid works well and kills all the bugs.

Just don't leave it in to long or make it too strong or you end up with a tye-dye wetsuit
 
Thanks i didnt know that glad you could help now i can get rid of the smell i hope
 
Sink the Stink, available at local dive shops. Works great.
 
An 8oz bottle is about $8. They have single use packets for about $1. Just follow the directions and take your time. It's not dangerous, but be patient.
 
Why do you hang your wetsuit in your room? Mine stays in the garage....Mine stinks too!

But I can handle it until I get to the lake! Once in the water....No more smell! :t

On a different note....My wetsuit has been DRY for quite some time...So the stink is probably faded away by now!

Dotey - Maybe if you'd quit farting in your suit you'd be OK...I saw them bubbles coming out of your wetsuit pant-leg at the freeze-a-palooza...Dont try to hide it!

Or maybe that was Wreckrunner? You guys DO share pants sometimes don't you!! rofl

I do this everytime too. But with carp slime, sometimes you have to do a little more cleaning.
