Keeping Your Gear Clean and Stored Properly

Cleaning gear after use prevents grit and damp from causing lasting damage. A quick wipe removes salt, dirt, and moisture that can erode surfaces or breed mildew. Each item then needs its own proper storage: stiff brushes hung to air, soft bags laid flat, sharp tools sheathed. The right spot stays cool, dark, and dry, avoiding extremes of heat or cold that warp or crack materials. An oiled rag protects metal without attracting dust, and leaving space between items stops scratches and stress.
