How To
How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. Most people use soap and water. Rinse the item with water after washing. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection. If this happens, it can lead to bad odors and even more serious infections. It is best to dry your items thoroughly before you store them. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
In addition to using soap and water, there are many things that you can do to improve the quality of your fishing gear. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. You should avoid certain substances, however, as they could cause damage to your goods. Bleach is one such thing. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. You should only use dishwashing liquids made specifically for cleaning fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. Surfactants help remove dirt and grime from surfaces. However, if you're worried about removing stains, you should consider using a stain remover. Oils and fats left on the surface cause most stains. Stain removers can be applied directly to the spot where the oil or fat is present. This will remove the stain without causing damage to the underlying material.
