ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for washing and drying (cleaning) a wetsuit. The system employs a two-tiered, fluid piping structure having an upper and lower hanger portions. The upper hanger portion is directly or indirectly connected to a hose which is connectable to a water or/and air source. During washing and rinsing operations, the appropriate liquid is introduced through the hose into the hanger portions, and is driven through a plurality of spray heads disposed selectively on both upper and lower hanger portions. The individual spray heads are oriented to overlappingly spray the entire outside and inside surfaces of the wetsuit. In a commercial embodiment, two or more systems are connected in series along a common horizontal tube. The entire unit is suspended and housed within a special enclosure. Quick connectors and/or on/off flow valves or disposed along the common connector tube between adjacent units to aid in controlling fluid flow into the desired number of systems to be used during a giving cleaning operation. The lower hanger is connected to the upper by a valved quick connector so it can be released from the upper hanger and suspended from a separate fitting remote from the upper hanger to drain dry, sun dry or dry by forced air blowers external to the suit or through the hanger piping and spray heads.
