max power Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 We haven't done a thread like this in a while, so what's your favorite way to clean your gear? I've always tried to remove bugs with a warm wet sponge when I get home and put it away clean, but it doesn't always happen. Just bought a new suit that is covered with some long dead bugs and the warm wet sponge isn't working too well. Whats you're secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 A washing machine does a fine job. After wash basic equate non-scented lotion for conditioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howabusa Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I always used the wet rag or towel. A good leather cleaner/ conditioner usually worked too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
