How do you clean urine from a wetsuit?

[Cave Diver]

Pass on the goats. They can strip bark off the trees, I'd hate to see a wetsuit when goats were done!

My X had those nasty pests as pets, and they destroy everything they come in contact with!

GOATS ARE OUT for wetsuit cleaning!!! Unless collecting on insurance and getting a new wetsuit is your goal, of course!!!

New business opportunity! Crotchless wetsuits!

Most of the warmth, none of the stink! If you feel the need to protect down under you can buy a pair of disposable skin undies with a neoprene "cup" to fill in the gap. Never rent someone else's pee again! Not to mention that relief from all that pinching and binding when you first put a wetsuit on. I may be on to something here. Or is that I may be on something? I'll be back to think on this when my cold medicine wears off.

Mountain goats and a crotchless wetsuit, I thought I had stumbled onto a porn site.

I use a 32 gallon plastic trash can to rinse my gear in. Woolite works great and sink the stink helps with the odor problems when things don't get rinsed in a hurry.

Sport Wash works well

Mirazyme - works great! It is an active Enzyme that "eats" the stink source (or so science says). Plus in a spray bottle watered down its better than Febrize, works on cat piss on carpet or furniture, and keeps my sneakers from gagging maggots!!!!

Okay, so there may be a few drawbacks with the goats but this Mirazyme stuff looks interesting. May have to try this on some shoes I have.

Rinse it off in that tank in the boat that they otherwise use for cameras.

That way the photographers will strangle you with your wetsuit and you won't have to worry about it.

A small amount of Dettol and soak it!

Just dunk it in a rinse barrel of clean water and hang it to dry. IF a funky smell develops it will probably be from waterborne bio-load. If you do get a persistent stink then use one of the enzyme products mentioned. Be sure to soak the items in the solution and then hang to dry WITHOUT rinsing. The enzymes will continue to work during the drip dry process.

If "someone" does not regularly urinate in a wetsuit there is a good chance that person is not well hydrated and should be drinking more water pre-dive.

I don't urinate in my wetsuits. I just go immediately before and after the dive. I hold it for an hour to an hour and a half.
