What is the procedure for drying and cleaning between uses? For instance, on a snorkeling trip where we'll be snorkeling twice a day for several days?

You can use it while inside the case. I would just leave it on. Mine was a safety purchase. I didn't actively end up taking it into the water.

A fresh water rinse should do just fine. Rinse every 3 days if using in saltwater

KEEP out of water when not using,,,, if your not using it at all at the moment un wrap it , room temp room it will last for years

I clean mine once a week by removing all remaining water in the unit, cleaning the center with a Q-tip, and let the product air dry for the day.

The best way is to shake it and tap it on a paper towel and let it air dry between uses. Otherwise as you might have noticed it will drip on you.

I don't know, but what are you planning to do/afraid will happen? Do you mean accidentally getting it wet and then drying it, or soaking it? I'm asking because I would do that with one of mine when it gets used up, if you like.

I've not head mine for very long. I've used it only twice. But its not bad about things sticking to it. Mostly it just collects leaf fragments that get get caught on your clothes. If its not been drenched in icky,I would just do it like I do my goretex stuff, spot wash and rinse. I mean, your camping right? Plan for a little grime.

I rinse it and dry with paper towel. Roll in zip lock and put back in little container it comes in.

Hi Barbara,That's is perfectly fine. We are improving and transitioning to a new packaging which comes in new dry form.Once you soak the sponge in the water, it will become very softHow to care for this new dry type is the same. Once you are done using the sponge, squeeze out all access water and hang it to dry in a dry area.Once every 2 weeks, we recommend sanitizing by either putting it in boiling water for 1-2 min or putting it in a bowl of water and microwave it for 1:30 minIf you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at info@mykonjacsponge.com.

Yes. I snorkeled with it and everything stayed dry. I did get a smaller (3 pack) of tiny dry bags to go inside that held my iPhone & camera but it wasn't needed. All my clothes and towel stayed dry the entire trip.

General cleaning, use a microfiber cloth/towel damp to just give a once over. Never had used anything stronger.

After a good workout, I remove my suit in the shower - giving it a good rinse with just plain water. Hang to dry inside out. I've had no issues so far; suit is performing rather well.

I just hang it up to dry after my son uses it. However, the recommended cleaning method for wetsuits is to soak in warm water for about an hour to remove chlorine or salt. To remove any odors, use a few drops of dish liquid to warm water and hand wash. Never use laundry soap. Never put in washing machine or dryer.

The answers already given are spot on. Best to rinse with mild soap and warm water and let is hair dry.

I cannot answer about the Caribbean but I used mine in Hawaii daily and did not have a problem with it drying between uses. I hosed it off after each use and dried it on the lanai on a clothes hanger. Good luck!

I used it for showers while back packing. I think it dries fairly quick. It depends on the moisture in the air, but I was really impressed, I didn't notice how long it took to dry but I also never noticed it being damp for too long.

I've done both - spent a year inflating in the am Saturday and deflating Sunday - wiping down, folding and drying on the dock...the following year, I followed suit with the neighbours who all seemed to prefer to leave their in for the July/Aug "prime" season...spent less time each weekend simply scooping out the leaves and pine needles and had to flip it twice to scrub down the bottom with a microfibre cloth, (it got a little slimy sitting in my lake - yours may be different)...As far as storage is concerned, I just left it tied to the dock...you want to be sure there's nothing for it to rub against and the friction may cause wear.

You dont really have to clean them. Rinse with fresh water and air dry after use. They have wetsuit conditioner available but I have never used it. If its something like tar use baby oil to remove it followed by rinsing it with water and drying.
