1. Immediate rinse after use
-
As soon as you finish your session, rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water.
-
This step removes salt, sand, and other residues before they can damage the neoprene.
-
Avoid Hot Water, hot water can prematurely wear out the neoprene.
-
Stick to cool or lukewarm water for rinsing.
2. Wetsuit drying
-
Inside-Out First: After washing, turn your wetsuit inside out and hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
-
This helps the inside dry faster and prevents UV damage to the outside.
-
Use a sturdy, wide hanger or a specialized wetsuit hanger to avoid stretching the neoprene at the shoulders.
-
Let it drip-dry naturally—avoid wringing or twisting the material.
-
Once the inside is dry, flip it right side out and let the outside dry.
3. Storage
-
After every session or wash, allow your JANGA wetsuit to “breathe.” Hang it somewhere with good airflow before storing.
-
Store your JANGA wetsuit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
-
Sunlight can fade colors and degrade the neoprene.
-
Hang your wetsuit on a wide or padded hanger.
-
If you need to fold it (for example, when traveling), do so gently to avoid permanent creases.
4. Repairs and maintenance
-
If you notice small tears, fix them promptly with a wetsuit repair kit to prevent the tear from growing.
-
For more extensive damage (e.g., broken seams, significant rips), contact a professional wetsuit repair service.
-
Clean out any sand or debris in the zipper with a toothbrush or by rinsing under fresh water.
5. Deep clean
-
Give your JANGA wetsuit a deeper clean, when required.
-
Use a specialized wetsuit shampoo designed for neoprene.
-
Tip: avoid bleach, strong detergents, or fabric softeners—these can break down the neoprene.
-
Turn the wetsuit inside out and hand wash.
-
Rinse thoroughly.
Enjoy your sessions, and take care of your JANGA so it can take care of you!
