Why Wetsuit Care Matters

Looking after your wetsuit properly can significantly improve its lifespan, flexibility and performance. Saltwater, UV exposure, sand and repeated use can all gradually break down neoprene over time, especially if your wetsuit is not rinsed and dried correctly after each session.Using dedicated wetsuit cleaners and neoprene shampoos helps remove salt, odours and residue while keeping the material soft and flexible. Regular cleaning also helps protect seams and linings from unnecessary wear.Proper storage is equally important. Hanging your wetsuit on a wide wetsuit hanger helps prevent shoulder damage and creasing, while allowing the suit to dry more evenly after use.

How to Clean & Store a Wetsuit

After surfing, swimming or paddleboarding, rinse your wetsuit thoroughly in cold fresh water to remove saltwater, sand and dirt. Turning the wetsuit inside out during rinsing and drying helps clean the internal lining more effectively.

Avoid:

  • Hot water
  • Washing machines
  • Tumble dryers
  • Direct sunlight
  • Leaving wetsuits folded or rolled up when wet

Instead, allow your wetsuit to drip dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area using a purpose-built wetsuit hanger.

For long-term storage, keep your wetsuit hanging or laid flat to avoid damaging the neoprene or weakening seams over time.
