How To
How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. Always rinse your item after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. If left untreated, this could cause a bad odor and worsening of infections. To prevent this, dry the items completely before storing. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. The risk of spreading germs is high if you touch dirty objects.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. For example, depending on your type of gear, you might want to use special detergents or solvents. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach is known for dissolving plastic and metal so you should not use it to clean your fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Applying stain removal products directly to areas where the oil and fat are located will remove the stain while not damaging the underlying materials.
Your local home improvement store will have many options for cleaning your fishing gear. There are many cleaners available in most stores, each with a different purpose. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. You can choose one that suits your needs best.
