Soap and water to get it clean and a box for dry storage.
Keep it out of the sun and heat and you wil probably get
bored with it before you wear it out.

Just my $.02

Been told many times to make sure Silicon & natural rubber don't come
in contact during storage - as it will harden the silicon .... not sure
if this is fact, but heard it form a few sources ... so always keep
mine separte.

Also gives it a very pleasing 5hit coloured stain, most fetching!

When I discovered that yet another rubber dive mask and succumbed to dry
rot, I got a new silicone mask.
Its definitely more comfortable for long periods of wear, and I've heard
that they last longer if you take care of them.

So how do I take care of it?
