By Janine Hughes


Purchasing a wetsuit is one of the best decisions you can ever make. The suit will benefit you in so many ways you never knew. While mostly used by professional athletes it can also be used by you for leisure activities. It assists in improving your performance in the water. While many people know how to use it very few know how to clean a wetsuit.

By definition it is clothing that has the advantage of being light and skinny. Originally intended for athletes performing water sports, the scope of its application has widened. The fabric consists of a unique material known as neoprene. It operates by forming a water layer between person body and suit. The persons could include swimmers, surfers and divers. The purpose of these is to ensure they keep their body heat intact.

The location of storage must be a cool area that receives minimum sunlight. Another thing to inspect is the material should not come into contact with Hot water. If the contact is made the material begins to lose the flexibility it has. Ensure when you are taking a warm shower to take the gear off. This may disrupt your bathing experience but sometimes caution is better than leisure. Who knows you may find out that showering without a swimsuit is a better experience.

The material can get ripped and leave them exposed. If this is at a beach the rocks or other rough surfaces can be the cause. Once this occurs do not panic and blame it on the young ones. This is a simple matter of you repairing the wetsuit with little inconvenience. The advantage of the suit is you can do it on your own with minimum instruction.

The cleaning of the suit and its repair go hand in hand. This can be done using simple house items such as soap detergents, water and alcohol. Cleaning is essential as it works to remove the dust and sand particles that are present in the suit. Take the soap detergent and mix it in the water so as to make it foam. Apply the foam gently over the wetsuit to remove the dirt. Upon finishing follow it up with alcohol and hang it up for it to get to dry.

The question on many swimmers lips is how they can go about cleaning their gear. True, they are not many avenues for information on this aspect. Well you do not have to be worried. While it is true the material is durable like every other, it requires s cleaning on a regular basis.

They come at affordable prices so you do not have to worry about overspending your budget. You will come to realize that the kit is helpful especially as an emergency precaution. You will probably feel safer with it around.

A suit can also suffer damage when it has been used for long periods of time without maintenance. While it is true that many of the ones intended for children are durable at some point they end up wearing out. If these occurs it is much better you buy new ones. It is crystal clear that cleanness is secondly Godliness.
