I am loathe to broach this subject. Fragrant booties. I mean AMAZINGLY fragrant. Like something that spent quality time in the intestinal tract of a sick old woman......and emerged again to tell the tale. I have had to restore to placing them critters affixed to the kayak racks of my ol' Montero. Seagulls follow me from the beach for miles......screaming! Alley cats perched atop garbage cans drop their current pursuits and look dreamily in my direction. What works for you? Do the preparations advertised as bootie shampoo actually work? Should I bury my trusty 5mm booties and start anew? Webbed foot. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

'Sink the Stink' is available at a lot of dive shops and will EVEN take out that healthy young man foot smell... Chris Kohut wrote: > > I am loathe to broach this subject.

The stuff that Bob Denton peddles, called Sink the Stink, does a great job. You only need a little bit mixed with water in a large garbage pail, and you can clean all the booties for everyone in the family. Wetsuits, gloves, sprayskirtsetc. too. I don't know if it's intende dfor anything but neoprene, but we've also thrown our paddling jackets in.

You'll probably need to use Sink the Stink the first time, and then use white vinegar and water as a soak once a month or so after that. Keeps my booties and my wetshoes fairly stink-free. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Wayne Smith wsmith16_at_snet.net Check out my sea kayaking & homebrewing page: http://pages.cthome.net/wsmith16/home.html *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Bob, Used the StS on the dog after he took a roll in a long dead deer on the trail this past Sat. Even a bath in the river didn't help. Your stuff was great. Now I just need to try it on the gloves <G>.
