Has anyone ever cleaned Wet Okole seat covers?

[Billy Baldone]

Like the title says. I have a customer coming Monday with them, and I have never cleaned them. I figure Mike with all of his boating knowledge, would possibly have an answer. Apparently they are made from the same material as a wet suit. Thank you all in advance

PRODUCT CARE INFORMATION SHEET
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
The more you wash, the longer they last. Washing your Wet Okole Hawaii seat covers will ultimately extend the life of your seat covers. Wet suit shampoo was specifically designed for cleaning and conditioning neoprene products. Cleaning with wet suit shampoo removes organic residue, micro-organisms and salt deposits that contribute to the deterioration of neoprene. Conditioning with wet suit shampoo helps prevent excessive drying, premature aging and oxidation of neoprene while continuing to keep the colors bright. Since Wet Okole Hawaii seat covers are waterproof, just wash the seat covers right on the vehicle. No hassles of taking the seat covers on or off. Combine water with your wet suit shampoo. Use a lint-free cloth and wash your seat covers thoroughly. Rinse your seat covers with fresh water and towel dry. DO NOT USE BLEACH OR DETERGENTS CONTAINING BLEACH! DO NOT USE A BRUSH or MACHINE WASH! HAND WASH and AIR DRY ONLY! Wet suit shampoo can be purchased directly from us or any other Wet Okole Hawaii seat cover dealer.

Thank you. I saw that. So if I dont have the shampoo, is steam ok to use?

As a diver I have used wet suit shampoo and also the most neutral laundry detergent I had (Mrs myers and seventh generation). I dont notice any difference to be honest. My 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm all still go on the same and work the same 8 years later.

If you want wet suit shampoo go to your local dive shop. They'll have it.

I had these for my Nissan Xterra years ago. I tossed them in the washing machine with All Free and Clear and let them hang dry. They lasted for years.

Sorry but no.
