Face the Water Wetsuit Care Guide
At Face the Water, we want you to get the most out of your wetsuit. Proper care will help maintain flexibility, insulation, and durability over time. Follow these essential care tips to keep your wetsuit in top condition.
1. Rinse After Every Use
After each use, rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, sand, and other contaminants.
2. Use pH-Neutral Soap
When cleaning your wetsuit, use a small amount of pH-neutral soap to gently cleanse the neoprene.
3. Dry Properly
Turn your wetsuit inside out and hang it by the waist to dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources, as they can damage the material.
4. Store Correctly
Ensure Velcro closures are covered or fastened to prevent damage. Store your wetsuit in a cool, dry place, hanging it by the waist or on a wide hanger to avoid stress on the shoulders.
