CLEANING THOSE STINKING WADERS, INSIDE & OUT

I periodically wash my waders inside and out. Months of walking, sitting on a pontoon boat, sweating and dribbling creates a visual and olfactory slight to the senses. I mean when I remove God’s gift to fly fishing: my breathable waders, they look disgusting. Despite my somewhat fastidious ways, I end up with disgusting waders.

I don’t mind the stains on the outside so much. They give me that ‘been there, done that’ appearance. But, boy howdy, those yellowish stains in the inside are embarrassing (I know I never wet my waders, but……) when I remove them. So, read the above link for a safe way to delicately wash your waders with a very diluted powdered detergent. As many sites will say DO NOT use liquid detergents or other harsh cleaners. Read Crashq’s 2 Comments also about what to do as well as what NOT to do. A shot of Fabreze might help too now and then.
