Getting the stink out

[REII]

You could also wash it in a little bit of laundry detergent and wash by hand or on delicate cycle.

I'm going to give the Listerine a shot, the sink the stink doesn't seem to do it anymore.

Has anyone tried white vinegar ?

Personally if it stinks that badly I'd buy a new one! Then look after the new one properly. Rinse after each dive, hang up nicely to dry before putting it away etc.

Otherwise try a peg over the nose whilst putting it on! I guess at some point you'll have to take it off though. The peg that is.

Fabric Softner may also work.

I like using Dial Anti bacterial. Seems to work well.

That's waht I use and what most BC manufacturers suggest. Rinse with a mild solution and warm water, dry throughly. No Smell.

BTW Simple green and Listerine both contain alcohol and ethylene glycol (engine coolant). Both are not good for your gear and plastics.

Wash it in Sport Wash. You can get that in the sporting goods section at Walmart. Use one capful per load of laundry.

Did you soak it in fabric softener and then hang out to dry? Usually will take out smell and leaves it touchabley soft!

Thanks for posting this. I'll try the vinegar instead.
