Water in the bath add some detol or some such antiseptic stuff, leave to soak rince, dry, job done. You can buy specialist gear, but no need imho.

I shove mine in the washing machine. There is something on the market called 'ScubaSoft' I think. I put that in it, no detergent, and a gentle cycle with minimum spin.
But just because I do it, doesn't mean it is the best thing.... it is a good thing for a lazy person

Rinse tank at hotel, then in attic until next time. What is this washing I hear talk of?
