How To
How do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. Use soap and water is the most popular method. Rinse the item with water after washing. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. If this happens, it can lead to bad odors and even more serious infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. You may need to use solvents or detergents that are specific to your gear. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Instead, you should use warm water and dishwashing liquid. Dishwashing liquids that are specifically designed for cleaning fish should be used only. Dishwashing solutions contain enzymes and chemicals that aid in the breakdown of organic materials such blood, slime, and scales. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Stains are usually caused by oils and fats that remain on the surface of the gear. Applying stain removal products directly to areas where the oil and fat are located will remove the stain while not damaging the underlying materials.
The local home improvement center will carry many choices for cleaners for your fishing gear. There are many types of cleaners you can find in stores. Some can be used to clean small amounts of grease and others for larger amounts. You can choose which one best suits your needs.
