waterproof smocks

just a question, how do you wash a bib+brace and smock, i guess you cant just put it in the washing machine, thinking of going for the greys set as i find my floatie too bulky at times, but still use it for rock fishing

do what your missus does.. look for a small tag with washing instructions :shock: :shock: apparently (according to herself)there is one on my floatie and it is machine washable :oops: :shock: :lol:

i washed my bib and brace the last day by puting it on with my wellys and goin in2 the shower and getin washing up liquid and scrub away,didnt wash the inside cause didnt want to get it wet! got rid of the dirt and smell,kinda lol

Instructions on some waterproof gear says to wash them in the machine with pure soap flakes (i.e. not detergent). Tried it and it works. Might need re-waterproofing after a few washes ...

ok lads thanks, will see if floatie is machine washable, well will ask wife, going for the greys waterproofs

getting into the shower is def the easiest way ,though if your worried about the proofing being affected get some of this stuff

and use it instead of fairy liquid which is pretty harsh .

best way to do them is on the grass wash down with mild soap and put them on a hanger and hang them out to dry.as ronald says watch what detergent you use. :)

hang them in the shed, the draught that passes through the barnasheds will keep them airated and a smell can only last so long til the bacteria have nothing left to live on :lol:
