birchy Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Can I put my Bare neoprenes in the washing machine to get rid of the "stank" without wrecking them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 as quoted Do NOT ever wash neoprene in a washing machine. Do NOT dry it by hot air or on hot central heating. If necessary, wash it by lukewarm water and soft brush. You can use soap water if needed. Do NOT use washing powder or similar chemicals! try going to a carwash and hosing both inside and out, just dont go too close with the gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravelman Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 try some baby powder. sprinkle it in or baking soda and then rinse them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inconnu Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 No washing machine. The suggestion to turn them inside out and spray them down should work. Short of getting in them adding a tablespoon of dish soap, dumping an extra couple gallons of water in them and doing pilates for an hour that would be my suggestion as well. I have worn mine for many days/weeks/years though and never had to do this, perhaps I smell too saintly?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Run 'em through a tire shredder and get some lightweights and polar fleece underwear or sweat pants. (A joke. I hate neos. Yeah. Yeah ... lotsa folks like 'em.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchy Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Funny. I just checked the "Care instructions" on the tab of my neoprenes and it says they're okay to wash in cold water. What a novel idea... checking the care instructions.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inconnu Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If you are putting them in the washer maybe try the gentle cycle? The straps may not like the heavy agitation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
