Clean gear is essential to your health and safety as well as the conservation of cave ecosystems. Nomad’s high-capacity tank and long battery life give you cleaning power on the go. You can make sure your gear is clean when you head in, and you can wash your gear – and yourself - when you exit.

Even if you wear heavy protective gear you may be exposed to animal feces, dust and other pathogens. Bat and bird droppings enrich cave soils and promote the growth of potentially dangerous fungi. Cuts, scrapes and other minor abrasions can make you more susceptible to infections, and some types can be very serious. In almost every caving situation, you’ll be face-first with this stuff – wash it away with Nomad.

A good layer of dirt on your gear makes you a pro and not a newbie, right? Not necessarily. Dirt is incredibly abrasive and can be very damaging to ropes, harnesses and other gear. Ropes should be scrubbed, soaked and rinsed with a Nomad Power Cleaner and air-dried. The nozzle on Nomad can also be adjusted to blast away grime from other gear, or set to a lower level for a more deliberate cleaning of helmets, packs and lights.

» Cleaning with Nomad Helps Protect Cave Environments

The unique ecosystems of caves are as complicated and as fascinating as the caves themselves. Cavers should take all reasonable precautions to avoid transporting mud, water and other substances from one cave to the next. Caves dwelling species are delicate, and in some instances may be found only in a particular cave.

By cleaning your gear after every outing, you can help ensure that your exploration of a cave does not threaten fragile species and future scientific discoveries.
