Bootie Stink
G day all, What are people using on neoprene booties/gloves to get over bootie stink? A dive shop bloke recommended I use bodywash, I'm not unhappy with this but was wondering if there were better alternatives?

Re: Bootie Stink
I always wash mine in fresh water & let them dry outside where they get some sun on them. In summer, 1 day is enough but in winter 2-3 days.

Re: Bootie Stink
Years ago I read about hikers using bicarb soda to get rid of the smell in their boots.
Does it work? A relative of mine had a small upright freezer full of fish, sitting on a carpeted floor. You can imagine what happened when there was a power failure. After trying various products and still having fishy carpet I suggested she try bicarb soda and it worked.
It may be enough just to store them with an open packet of bicarb soda.

Re: Bootie Stink
I hose mine out with fresh water after every trip, hang 'em upside down for a couple of hours to drip dry, then leave them out in the full sun for the rest of the day.
Sunlight kills the bacteria that causes the smell.
Every two or three months I give them a soak in a solution of hot water and Dettol.
