How ya Brian,

I have washed my En-Tec many times in the bath with Luke warm water and some detergent.
I haven't had any issues washing it this way, and the suit is still in great condition.

Just be careful when you hang it out to dry, it will weigh quite a bit with the water retention ....and could pull the washing line down....

Don was telling me how he washed his and I nearly fell off the pier laughing
He put it on and got into the shower and washed it down that way

Ha ha Another option is to hang it out in the rain and then let it dry out on the line.

lay it out in the garden and use a mild detergent ie. a small amount of washing up liquid in some warm water,i wash mine with a soft sweeping brush then hang it up on the line and hose it down ,just dont put it in the washing machine or tumble dryer :lol:i might try the shower next time

You cant do the bath thing, after all its a flotation suit only half of it will get washed

[Don]

I have fired it into the washing machine on a 40c wash and dried it on a radiator afterwards.

No issues so far.

Think yourself lucky, mine only smells of bait.

My suit goes in the washing machine on a low heat seating with a mild detergent and then hung out on the line to dry. I do the same with all my gear and never had a problem.

i put mine on the washing line and use mild detergent a soft brush then hose it down. have also had it on and got in the shower but dont do that anymore as i flooded the bathroom
