Hi,
do any of you wash your wetsuit before you put it away for a long time (winter)? I just read here (French) that it is good to do this at the end of the season to remove all the salt and that it makes the wetsuit last longer :
It says to do the following:
1) Choose a short & delicate program (wool, silk, etc)
2) Make sure the temperature is no higher than 30°C for this program
3) Put half a regular dose of detergent, the kind for delicate things like wool
4) Deactivate the spinning cycle of the program
5) Once done, dry on a hanger inside and out for several hours on each side. Do not use heat to dry it!
6) Hang in a dry cool place with little heat and humidity variations, do not fold.
Do any of you do this? Is it really safe? What about for tailor made wetsuits?
Thanks,
Gabriel
