I think I will leave this for someone else to answer...

Vinegar Water will eliminate smells.................in many cases!

[Notimetofish]

But seriously after you rinse it if you can leave it out in the sunshine for a few hours to dry before storing it the sun will kill also of the bacteria that might be causing those smells.


Sorry about the ribbing Donald!

Simple Green and Water seem to work. I only rinse with water unless the yak is full of slime, every 4-5 trips give it a good washdown.

One source of smells can be the inside of your yak, give that a nice rinse evey now and again (I also use simple green for that).

I only have a problem with my shoes smelling after damp saltwater feet. Lol or that random finger mullet that jumped in the yak while fishing the mud.

Try lysol concentrate diluted with water. Use it alot when i forget i washed a load of clothes and they stay wet in the washer too long!!! For yak gear, id wash with soap an water then after it has dried, spray it down with the diluted lisol and let dry
