Brewzilla neoprene jacket - machine washable?

[Consett26]

The jacket from my Brewzilla looks like it could do with more than the usual wipe down. Is it safe to put it in the washing machine?

I don't actually know. But given it's neoprene, it's probably got the same construction as wet suits, so see how people wash those. You could always just wash it in warm water in the bathtub or shower next time you're in there.

Thanks. I had no idea it was the same material as wet suits. Googling makes it *very* clear that the advice on using a machine to wash a wet suit is don't do it.

Mild detergent may be used, however make sure you rinse the pieces properly. Hand-wash your item just as you would delicate clothing. Wash gently, squeeze out the dirty water, and allow it to soak a little while longer. If the neoprene is especially dirty or grimy, you may want to soak it overnight.
Good Luck

I have thrown my AIO jacket in the washing machine with zero issues, as the Baron mentioned, mild detergent and no more than 30 degrees.

Comes up looking and smelling like new

I just get mine on the ground, give it a good dousing with a hose pipe and use a dish washing brush on it. Seems to work fine. Don't use detergents or soaps. I never cleaned my wetsuits when I used to Scuba dive, just gave them a good hosing down and let them dry.

I recently put 2 ss brewtech neoprene jackets in the washing machine - i assume they are nigh on identical in material.. 30degrees, no soap, no spin, hung drip/dry.. came out just fine and back on the FV's without issue.

My missus has washed mine a couple of times at 40 with no issues
