You’ve just come back from a dive trip, and your wetsuit smells more like fish than fresh? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Fill a large tub or your bathtub with water and add a generous amount of baby shampoo. Most importantly: turn your suit inside out before soaking it—after all, it’s the inside that collects all the sweat and body fluids that cause the stink.

Next, put your suit in the washing machine using a special neoprene detergent. Just make sure not to use the spin cycle—it's tough on the material.

Let it dry in a shaded, breezy spot. Ideally, hang up your boots, gloves, and hood as if they were “skewered” so they dry properly.
