A neoprene wetsuit keeps you warm while participating in water sports. Although water adventurers love their neoprene-made gear to keep them warm, it takes effort to keep them odor and bacteria-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure your wetsuit stays fresh and lasts a long time, you want to cleanse it often and regularly use a wetsuit shampoo it while following a few straightforward steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Purchase a wetsuit cleaner.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Clean wetsuit.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Dry and store properly.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-clean-wetsuit-regular-care\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Clean Wetsuit: Regular Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wetsuits that stay fresh and last a long time require regular care. It&#8217;s best to do this after each use, and the best part is that it&#8217;s easier to clean a suit that was just in water and is still wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-1024x682.png\" alt=\"It's best to clean your suit after each use.\" class=\"wp-image-777\" title=\"wetsuit cleaner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-1536x1023.png 1536w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-110x73.png 110w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-255x170.png 255w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-550x366.png 550w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-800x533.png 800w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2-1160x773.png 1160w, https:\/\/beachfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/how_to_clean_your_wetsuit_2.png 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">It&#8217;s best to clean your suit after each use. (Credit: Pearl PhotoPix\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to maintain regular care of your suit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-rinse-with-fresh-water\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Rinse with fresh water.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing you can do for your wetsuit is to thoroughly wash it with fresh water after every use. To do this, you don&#8217;t need to use a wetsuit cleaner. A good rinse should get rid of most of the sand, body oils, and salt or chlorinated water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While cold or lukewarm water are both good to use, you should avoid rinsing under a warm shower. Hot water isn&#8217;t good for wetsuits. Not to mention, rinsing your wetsuit while you&#8217;re still wearing it doesn&#8217;t get it as clean as you want because this doesn&#8217;t allow you to clean the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can wash your wetsuit in a bucket, bath, or shower. Just be sure to wash out the inside, where most grime is being held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-properly-dry-your-wetsuit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Properly dry your wetsuit.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re done rinsing, it\u2019s time to let your wetsuit air dry. The best practice is to allow the wetsuit to dry completely before the next time you use it. Turn your suit inside out if it isn&#8217;t already. This will ensure the inside fully dries before putting it back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid hanging your wetsuit from the shoulders, as this could cause it to stretch out. Instead, fold it at the waist and hang it on a heavy-duty hanger&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hang-Pro-slide-wetsuit-hanger\/dp\/B009VEP7H2\/ref=sr_1_4?crid=LUOT4LOXWGVC&amp;keywords=wetsuit+hanger&amp;qid=1640715774&amp;s=sporting-goods&amp;sprefix=wetsuit+hanger%2Csporting%2C72&amp;sr=1-4\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">like this one<\/a>. You may even want to invest in a special wetsuit hanger designed for this purpose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the quickest drying, find a sunny spot to hang your wetsuit. And, remember it&#8217;s best to put on dry suits before hitting the water again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-clean-wetsuit-deep-cleaning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Clean Wetsuit: Deep Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s ever owned a wetsuit knows that sooner or later, it\u2019s prone to acquiring a pretty serious funk even if you\u2019re diligent about rinsing it after every use.

Using your regular laundry detergent or worse, only water every time you clean your wetsuit doesn&#8217;t allow it to get entirely clean. Using a good wetsuit cleaner also allows you to bring back that soft feel your suit had when you first bought it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a wetsuit cleaner, some things you may want to consider include no harmful chemicals, smell, and non-concentrated vs. concentrated shampoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are several popular wetsuit cleaner brands, we recommend the following as the best wetsuit cleaners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"pau-pilau-wetsuit-cleaner-and-conditioner-most-eco-friendly\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pau Pilau Wetsuit Cleaner and Conditioner (Most Eco-Friendly)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a tried-and-true wetsuit shampoo, you can\u2019t go wrong with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Drainbo-Pilau-Suit-Cleaner-16-Ounce\/dp\/B00EE4DC6W\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pau Pilau<\/a>. This all-natural, environmentally safe wetsuit cleaner and conditioner is a favorite among many water sport enthusiasts. It safely cleans and deodorizes neoprene gear to restore it to its day-one condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we love the Pau Pilau Wetsuit Cleaner, it\u2019s worth mentioning that it&#8217;s not the most concentrated option due to its natural formula.

But, avoid peeing in your wetsuit if possible. While we often think this is okay because we&#8217;re in the water anyway, it can actually damage the neoprene. It can also create a pretty serious funk, especially if you&#8217;re not diligent with rinsing it after each use and using a wetsuit cleaner for deep cleansing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"just-leave-surfboard-wax\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just Leave Surfboard Wax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When wetsuits and surfboards come in contact, it\u2019s impossible to avoid surf wax sticking to neoprene. While you may want to scrub it off, don&#8217;t because scrubbing the wax could mess up your wetsuit. With that said, you can gently spot clean it if you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"dont-use-a-washing-machine-or-dryer\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Use a Washing Machine or Dryer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably noticed when we were going over how to use your wetsuit cleaner, we never mentioned a washing machine. This is because this can leave you with an unwearable wetsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While cleaning your suit by hand takes a little more effort, you&#8217;ll be grateful you went this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"stay-away-from-the-iron\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Away from the Iron<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The materials of your neoprene wetsuit and an iron won&#8217;t go well together. Avoid ruining your suit and stay away from an iron. Instead, hang it to dry and store it hung up or lying flat to keep it looking nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"avoid-harsh-products\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Harsh Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re dealing with a persistent stench, you may be tempted to break out the bleach. However, harsh products like bleach and regular detergents shouldn&#8217;t be used to clean your wetsuit. These can damage the delicate closed-cell design that keeps cold water from flowing in and out. Be sure to stick to a special wetsuit cleaner and fresh water when washing your suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"be-gentle\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Gentle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We get it. After being in the water, you\u2019re probably dying to get out of that wetsuit. But be gentle when you take it off. This ensures you don&#8217;t accidentally cause unnecessary wear or damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can also be said for when you&#8217;re washing it. Although your wetsuit isn&#8217;t extremely delicate, be mindful when washing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"dont-share-your-wetsuit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Share Your Wetsuit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may want to allow a friend to borrow your wetsuit, we don&#8217;t recommend this. You want your wetsuit to last a long time for you. Allowing others to wear it could result in stretching or other damage that you would carefully avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-thoughts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it \u2013 everything you need to know about how to wash a wetsuit and store it.
