Product Description
The Rip Curl Piss Off Wetsuit Cleaner Tabs are a simple way to properly clean and freshen up your wetsuit after spending plenty of time in the water.

Anyone who surfs regularly knows what eventually happens to a wetsuit. Salt, sweat and general grime build up inside the neoprene and that familiar wetsuit smell starts appearing — particularly if your suit spends half its life damp in the back of the van.

These cleaning tabs make looking after it incredibly straightforward. Rather than pouring or measuring out a liquid wetsuit cleaner, you've got a pre-portioned tablet that dissolves into your cleaning water.

It's particularly useful for giving your wetsuit a more thorough clean every so often alongside your normal freshwater rinse after each session.

Why Should You Clean A Wetsuit?
A quick freshwater rinse after surfing is always worth doing, but every so often your wetsuit benefits from a proper clean rather than another five-second rinse under the outside tap.

Your suit is constantly exposed to salt water, sweat, sand and whatever else happens during a session. Over time that all builds up inside the suit and can leave it smelling pretty grim.

A dedicated wetsuit cleaner gives you an easy way to give the whole suit a more thorough wash.

How To Use Wetsuit Cleaner Tabs
Use the tablets in accordance with Rip Curl's instructions, dissolving the appropriate amount in water before cleaning your wetsuit.

Make sure the cleaning solution reaches both the inside and outside of the suit, paying particular attention to areas that tend to collect sweat and odour.

Once cleaned, follow the supplied care instructions and allow your wetsuit to dry properly away from excessive heat and strong direct sunlight.

Don't Use Normal Laundry Detergent
We wouldn't throw an expensive wetsuit in the washing machine with your normal clothes or start attacking it with household detergent.

Wetsuits use specialist materials, laminations and seam construction, so we'd always use a cleaner specifically intended for wetsuits and neoprene equipment.

It's a small expense compared with the price of replacing a decent wetsuit.

Great For Winter Wetsuits
If you've got a thick winter suit that seemingly spends October to April permanently damp, these are particularly useful.

A 5/4mm or 6mm wetsuit can take considerably longer to dry than a summer suit, and repeated sessions without fully drying can quickly lead to that unmistakable wetsuit smell.

A proper clean every so often helps keep your winter suit much fresher and considerably nicer to pull on for the next session.

Expert Advice
You don't need to properly wash your wetsuit with cleaner after every single surf. For normal day-to-day care, we'd rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after use and hang it correctly to dry.

Then every so often — particularly when the suit starts smelling or after a heavy run of sessions — give it a proper clean with something like the Piss Off tabs.

The tablet format is what makes these particularly handy. They're compact, there's nothing to spill in your surf bag and you don't need to guess how much liquid cleaner you've poured in.

And yes, if your wetsuit has reached the point where nobody wants to stand next to it in the changing room, it's probably time to use one.

Q & A

Q: What are Rip Curl Piss Off Tabs?
A: They're dissolvable cleaning tablets designed to make cleaning and freshening your wetsuit and neoprene equipment quick and straightforward.

Q: Why use a tablet instead of liquid wetsuit cleaner?
A: Convenience. The tabs are compact and pre-portioned, so there's no bottle to leak in your kit and no liquid cleaner to measure out.

Q: Do I need to clean my wetsuit after every surf?
A: We'd rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after each session where possible, but a proper cleaner can be used periodically for a deeper clean and to tackle odours and build-up.

Q: Will they help with a smelly wetsuit?
A: That's one of the main reasons we'd use them. A proper wetsuit clean can help remove the sweat, salt and general grime responsible for unpleasant smells.

Q: Can I use normal washing detergent on my wetsuit instead?
A: We wouldn't recommend it. Use a product specifically designed for wetsuits and neoprene rather than normal household laundry detergents.

Q: Are they useful for winter wetsuits?
A: Definitely. Thick winter suits often stay damp for longer and can become particularly unpleasant after repeated use, so giving them a proper clean periodically is well worth doing.

Q: How should I dry my wetsuit after cleaning it?
A: Follow the wetsuit manufacturer's care instructions and allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, avoiding excessive heat and prolonged strong direct sunlight.
