Neoprene is an impressionable fabric that should be cared for after each use and prepared correctly for long term storage. Dirt and grime can rub and cause abrasions over time so it is best to rinse off between uses. When the neoprene is going to be stored over a longer period of time use a mild detergent and clean thoroughly. Most importantly though make sure that the neoprene is fully dried before storage to prevent possible long term issues and odors. Finally, do not hang with clamps or fold when not in use as this can reduce the elasticity of the material.

Latex+ material care involves addressing the unique needs of both components. Rinse thoroughly after every use to remove residue that could degrade the latex gasket or neoprene sleeve. Treat latex sections with silicone lubricant regularly to maintain elasticity, while using mild detergents on the neoprene portions to keep the sleeve odor-free and flexible. For storage, ensure the gasket is free from stress or sharp objects, and keep the neoprene sleeve flat in a cool, shaded area to avoid brittleness.

Synthetic membrane materials require thorough cleaning after each use to remove sand, dirt, salt, and oils, which can obstruct the pores and impair their multi-layered functionality. Wash with water and a mild, non-residue detergent, ensuring all soap is thoroughly rinsed away while avoiding fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the membrane’s structure. Allow the material to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from heat and UV rays, to preserve its integrity. For storage, hang or lay the item flat without folding to prevent creasing and stress, and always use underlayers during wear to minimize skin oil accumulation on the membrane.
