Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2006 3:25 pmWhy dry your booties? They will just get wet after you put them back on anyway.
A good idea for all wetsuits, boots, gloves, anything that touches the water is to get a big tub of fresh water, and throw some "sink the stink" in it (it is a special detergent for wetsuits and the like). A tub of fresh water with this stuff in it last about 5-8 times, sometimes more, if you are only sinking one persons gear in it. I have had it last up to 20.
You just sink the gear in the tub, push it down with a broom handle, let it sit for about 5 minutes or so and take it out and hang it.

Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2006 5:57 pmi just tip the water out and leave them outside my front door, they dry in a day if theres sun or a few days if not, not that bothered if theyre still wet, as long as their rinsed then they wont rot (had my boots for about 10 years).

Normally i would just rinse my wetsuit and boots off and leave them hanging over the bath, but I've moved into a house share and there's only a small shower cubical. I've already covered the place in sand.
The wetsuit's not so bad, but my room smells of musty damp boots
Will putting them in the airing cupboard damage them at all?
