Smoke odor in wet suit! Help!

[Joe from MN]

I just purchased a wet-suit on ebay and it has a pretty nasty smoke odor. Does anyone know how to clean it?

Thanks!
Joe

Wash it in your washing machine on GENTLE with a small amount of detergent. Air dry. Don't put it in the dryer. Works for me.

Use palmoliver oxy its a dish washing soap. Just put a cap in a tub of water and let soak a while but you have to rinse the crap out of it after you soak it so you dont look like a bubble bath at your first dive. You can get a any food store. Joe

A soak in the tub with an ounce of Miracide in the water

Best to just prevent it.

Skip the rice and beans, pass on the hot sauce.
