Water Sport Gear Wash 16 fl. oz.

Love it! It gets all my gear super clean and ready for the next adventure!

This is a 2 oz bottle, but only a smell amount is needed in a full bucket of water. I was particularly drawn to this as it's no rinse. You just fill up a bucket of water, add a few drops of the wash, let it soak and maybe agitate a bit, then take it out and hang the wetsuit to dry. I like that this is especially formulated for wetsuits so you don't have to worry about compatibility with the Soaps that you're using which definitely impacts their durability. And has a really nice fresh minty scent that I liked. Definitely helps combat the funk if you've gone too long between washes. For the value it's a little on the pricey and, but all diving gear is. It was very easy to use and seem to do a good job of getting my suit and booties clean and smelling good, so I'm happy with it.

This is a really convenient size for travel. The 2 oz bottle is small enough to toss into a gear bag without taking up much room, but it still gives you a decent amount for a trip.The scent is probably the standout for me. The eucalyptus oil smells amazing, and they definitely didn’t skimp on it. It is fairly strong right out of the bottle, but in a fresh, clean way that I really like.The effectiveness has been good so far and the no-rinse formula makes it very easy to use when traveling. Being able to soak gear and simply hang it to dry without adding another rinse step is especially convenient.Value for money - As far as value for money goes, I think it makes the most sense as a travel-size product. The bottle is handy and portable, but if you were using it constantly at home, it probably wouldn’t last very long.Overall, it’s an easy-to-pack cleaner with a really pleasant eucalyptus scent and a simple no-rinse routine.

Item: STREAM 2 SEA Gear Wash - Wetsuit Cleaner & Shampoo for Scuba, Swim & Dive Gear - No-Rinse Bio-Based - Removes Salt, Chlorine, Odor from BCD, Drysuit, Neoprene - Reef Safer - 16 fl ozI needed something to clean my son’s wetsuit before we store it for the season. It’s plant-based and has a eucalyptus scent. I’d prefer unscented to be honest. It claims to be reef “safer” not “safe.” Distinct difference, but the ingredients look good. It’s made in the USA (Florida). You pour a small amount in tub of water and soak your wetsuit/mask for 5-30 minutes (I soaked ours 30 minutes since I hadn’t done it all summer). Then you hang to dry. No rinsing needed. Keep in mind, there was no laundering, so the stains did not come out, because this is a cleaner, but there was no agitation/scrubbing. I’m just hoping to keep the wetsuit in good shape for another season.

We got this primarily to deal with the strong smell that tends to remain in our son's swimwear and towels after water polo games, competitions and workouts. Anyone dealing with frequently used pool gear knows that regular washing does not always completely get rid of that lingering smell.This has worked reasonably well for that purpose. I like that it is concentrated, plant-based and intended for materials commonly used in swim and dive gear. The no-rinse approach is also convenient, although for towels and swimwear I am not particularly concerned about saving a final rinse and will generally wash things in whatever way makes sense for the load.The eucalyptus scent is noticeable but not objectionable to me, and the product does help freshen heavily used swim gear. I would describe the odor removal as good rather than exceptional, however. Based on our experience, I would not expect it to magically eliminate every strong, deeply embedded odor in one treatment. That also seems consistent with the mixed experiences others have had with particularly smelly neoprene and water gear.One minor annoyance is the dilution guidance. The directions are geared toward a fairly large volume of water, which makes perfect sense for dive operations or a large rinse bin but is less convenient when you just want to soak a swimsuit and a couple of towels. More explicit per-gallon measurements on the bottle would be useful.Overall, this is an OK to good specialty wash and useful to have around for a household dealing with water polo and frequently used swim gear. I particularly like the relatively gentle formulation and versatility. It is fairly concentrated so a bottle should last quite a while, although at this price I would consider the value reasonable rather than exceptional. Based on the actual odor-removal performance we have seen, four stars feels more appropriate than five.

I bought the Gear Wash by STREAM 2 SEA. After I ordered this I thought maybe I had made a massive mistake because I don't scuba dive, I don't own a wetsuit and I am certainly not an aquatic athlete. I wasn't really sure what I could use this for but I did some additional research and I found out that it would be fine and good for my everyday swim wear and fun swim gear from floats to goggles.It is incredibly easy to scale this down for regular use. I just fill up my bathroom sink with cool water and add a tiny squirt (about a teaspoon) of the wash. It is completely safe on my bathing suits, and it works wonders on my goggles and inflatable swim floats. It completely breaks down the harsh pool chlorine and stubborn chemical smells without damaging the elastic or plastic materials.The best part is that it is a no-rinse formula, so I just let everything soak for 10 minutes, take them out, and hang them up to dry. If you are a regular pool swimmer looking to protect your swim gear, this travel size bottle goes a very long way!

STREAM 2 SEA Gear Wash - Wetsuit Cleaner & Shampoo for Scuba, Swim & Dive GearThis Gear Wash was very effective in removing strong chlorine odor from my swim shoes. I put about a teaspoon of gear wash in a gallon of water and let the swim shoes soak for about half an hour. When I took them out of the water the shoes smelled pleasantly of eucalyptus. The shoes also looked clean. It was very convenient that they didn't need to be rinsed.The gear wash is clear like water (no artificial colors) and had the consistency of water so it mixed with the water easily.The Gear Wash is plant based to cause less damage to water so it can be used when camping by fresh water. The container is compact (2 ounces) so it is easy to carry but it can wash a lot of gear.There was hardly any suds. It left the gear smelling good. It is easy to use.

Don't let the 2-ounce bottle fool you. This is concentrated enough to make up to 30 gallons of cleaning solution, so it actually goes considerably further than I initially expected.I fill a large plastic trash can (on wheels) with water, add the Gear Wash, and use that to soak and clean my gear. I can reuse the same solution several times before replacing it, which makes the little bottle surprisingly economical. It's also a lot easier than individually washing everything, particularly when you have several pieces of gear to clean. I just toss everything in the can when I get home and let it soak.It does a good job getting rid of the salt, chlorine, and general funk that inevitably ends up on wet gear. I think it is supposed to be a no-rinse formula, but after spending the night in the soap solution, I move everything to a second trash can with fresh water. After a few hours in there, I pull everything out and let it air dry.Overall, this works well and is much more economical than the size of the bottle would suggest. I'm giving it four stars because it does exactly what it's supposed to do, and I particularly like the concentrated, no-rinse formula. A very useful product for anyone who regularly has wet gear to deal with. If I could get a big bottle for $20, it would be an easy 5 stars

I'm reviewing STREAM 2 SEA Gear Wash - Wetsuit Cleaner & Shampoo for Scuba, Swim & Dive Gear - No-Rinse Bio-Based - Removes Salt, Chlorine & Odor - TSA Travel Size - Reef Safer - 2 fl ozIt’s concentrated, so a little goes a long way if you’re only mixing up a gallon or two. I like that you can soak your gear and hang it up to dry without rinsing everything again.The 2 oz bottle is small and easy to throw in a suitcase or beach bag, which makes it especially nice for traveling. My only hesitation is the price—it seems a little expensive for such a tiny bottle, even though it is concentrated.Overall, I like the convenience, the travel-friendly size, and anything that helps keep wet dive gear from developing its own personality is a win for me.

My husband and I dive a lot, both locally and on long trips. We occasionally like to freshen up our gear with a wetsuit cleaner. This is especially true at the end of a distant trip when it sometimes takes us 3 days to get home, and our dive gear didn't get completely dry before packing it. It can get a little gamey in these circumstances.We usually use a gear rinse that is based on eating bacteria. I decided to try the new STREAM 2 SEA Gear Wash - Wetsuit Cleaner & Shampoo for Scuba, Swim & Dive Gear - No-Rinse Bio-Based. It mainly uses plant-based surficants.Both products are supposed to be reef safe. Both have a pleasant smell. The STREAM 2 SEA seems like it has a mild pine scent, but that could be the eucalyptus oil I am smelling. The company sells a number of reef safe products and they even included a card with a list of ingredients in skin care products to avoid when diving. I like that the company seems to really care about the environment.Ounce per ounce, the SEA to STREAM works out to be quite a bit cheaper per gallon of water at 15 cents per gallon versus 40 cents per gallon for the competition. But for travel, the competition sells some single use packets that are nice to use on a dive trip.We've been diving twice this week and our gear had already been rinsed in plain water. I decided to soak the smelliest part of our gear, dive boots and socks, in our utility sink. I followed the instructions and added about 1 tbsp fo approx 5 gallons of water. The gear had a mild piney scent when I took it out of the sink.I will probably stick to the single use packets of the competitor for international trips, but the STREAM 2 SEA will save money at home if used as directed.

I like the idea of most Stream 2 Sea products, including this one. They have a commitment to the environment with a focus on things like reef safe sunscreen and biodegradable detergents that I want to support.This wash concentrate is a standard no rinse, dunk and dry cleaner for removing salt and chlorine from your gear. I keep my neoprene out of the pool as much as possible, but when I have to do a pool dive, a good rinse is essential. It has a pleasant citrus smell, sort of a mix of lemon and orange.After a week of diving in the ocean followed by a good soak, my BCD still smells a little stinky, just covered up by the citrus smell. I feel like it is cleanER, but not as clean as I would like. The other issue I have is that this stuff isn't cheap. The instructions say to add 2 ounces to 30 gallons of water, which is the whole bottle to a standard dunk tank or large trash can.

Re: STREAM 2 SEA Gear Wash - Wetsuit Cleaner & Shampoo for Scuba, Swim & Dive Gear - No-Rinse Bio-Based - Removes Salt, Chlorine & Odor - TSA Travel Size - Reef Safer - 2 fl oz, $9.95My review:This no-rinse gear wash is just what I was looking for! I also like that the formula is made in the USA, by a woman-owned company, and their stated goal is to use only ingredients that are biodegradable and non-toxic to fish and coral.The concentrate is in a small 2 fl ounce bottle, which passes TSA requirements for carry on luggage. Note I said it is a CONCENTRATE. That one little bottle is all you need for 30 GALLONS of water. However, I don't usually have enough gear to need 30 gallons of water to wash it. Enter the math whiz. I calculated that for ONE GALLON of water, I needed just under 1/2 TEASPOON of the concentrate (0.4 tsp to be accurate). I plopped my swimsuit and mask in the soapy water (it made very low suds), let it sit for a half hour, and then hung them out to dry. No rinsing, no worries, and NO SMELL.This is great! In a month I am going on a snorkeling and fishing trip, and I definitely am bringing this with me. I calculated I can get 24 one-gallon washes out of this one bottle of gear wash. Of course, if you have more gear that I do, it won't last that long for you. But for me, the cost of under $10 for one bottle is a good value.

Love this product! Keeps my wetsuit fresh and clean. I have sensitive skin, and this gear wash is gentle on my skin. It is a perfect end to a successful triathlon or swim race.

My family and I spent 5 days at a tropical resort in Asia and we spent most days either on the beach or at the pool. After a whole day of fun, a splash of gear wash in a sink full of water is enough to wash out the salty/chlorine smell from swimsuits and trunks so that we didn't have to wear funky swimwear every day.

I bought this through my dive shop knowing that my family would be doing a lot of diving and snorkeling in the ocean. We drove to our vacation spot knowing our last day was in the water. Even though we rinsed everything off at the end of each day, by the end of the week, you could start smelling a bad odor and salt water wasn't fully getting flushed out. After soaking everything in Stream2Sea Gear Wash, everything is clean and smells great. I love how you can just let the gear soak in the solution for about 30 minutes without rinsing it off. No more soaking gear in just plain fresh water.

This Stream 2 Sea Wetsuit Cleaner is a fantastic item to keep packed right alongside your dive gear! The compact 2 fl oz travel size fits effortlessly into any gear bag or dive kit without taking up valuable space, making it super convenient to bring along on boat trips, beach outings, or dive travel. It is an absolute lifesaver in cases where giving your equipment a full fresh-water rinse is simply not feasible. When you're out on a boat or at a remote dive site with limited fresh water, the no-rinse formula allows you to just splash, soak, and hang dry your neoprene, BCDs, or rash guards without needing extra rinsing steps. Despite being so convenient, it's gentle on materials while effectively neutralizing saltwater odors and organic buildup. It keeps gear fresh and well-maintained even when ideal washing facilities aren't available. I highly recommend keeping a bottle of this in your kit for every dive trip!

This wetsuit wash was really easy to use. This can be used with surfing wetsuits and it is very straightforward to wash the suits. You can just fill your bathtub with warm water, add in the appropriate amount of the concentrated formula, and let the suits soak for a bit. After letting it soak for maybe 30 mins or so, you can rinse out teh suit a few times to take out all the washing solution and you're done. The soap removes some (not all) of the rubbery smell from the neoprene, it removes some of the funky smell from the ocean, and it makes the suits feel quite clean. At $35, it's a little pricey, but you get quite a few loads from the bottle.

I like that STREAM 2 SEA makes products intended to be safer for reefs. I'm hoping the crew of the liveaboard for my upcoming dive trip will be okay with us using this new STREAM 2 SEA cleaner to combat the inevitable stink from the wetsuits, rash guards, and BCDs. Not having to rinse off the cleaner is a plus.I tested this cleaner on a few rash shirts that came with an oily smell and had gained saltwater diving stink. Also tested on my BCD. I agitated the water a few times during the 30 minute soak. Things came out looking cleaner. After drying for most of a day, the oily smell was greatly reduced. A week later the smells were completely gone. Another rash guard soaked in Gear Aid ReviveX odor eliminator was no cleaner but also had no more smells.The cleaner did not magically remove crud dried on some plastic pieces on the BCD. Other BCD cleaners had not dissolved the crud either (although it comes right off when scrubbed with a toothbrush).The 16 oz bottle is an okay value for the money.

So i already use STREAM 2 SEA mineral sunscreen and was so happy to be able to get this STREAM 2 SEA Wetsuit Cleaner and Shampoo, made with plant-based ingredients and no harmful chemicals.This can clean my wetsuit, my snorkel, mask and fins, my water socks and and swimwear safely and effectively. Just add with fresh water in a wash bin, soak our more dirty gear for about 30 minutes, sometimes we just swish around and leave it soaking for like 15 minutes, and then hang them to dry, it's perfect for using on the boat or for when we get home from the beach. Easy peasy.We used to use baby shampoo, but no more, this is now our new go to. This is nice and gentle on our gear yet cleans it so well and smells a little bit like eucalyptus, a nice fresh scent, and it's reef safe so we love that.We grabbed the 16oz bottle since there''s two of us, and I think it should last a while since you only need to add 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. The 16oz is a much better value than the 2oz travel size, but if you need to make it TSA friendly, just put some in a travel bottle, add a label of what it is and there ya go! But the travel size may work out of pure convenience.So happy we got this, it works, it's easy to use and it's reef safe. I am loving the Stream 2 Sea line, and I recommend you check out some of their other products as well.
