Shampoo

[SlvrDragon50]

How many of you guys actually use shampoo?

I just went for splash in my pool only to find out my dad put chlorine in... Cleaning isn't much fun

I don't use shampoo. I was going to order some with my new wetsuit last week, but ST informed me that the shampoo and the MiraZyme more or less do the same thing, so I just stuck with the MiraZyme.

We've been using the MiraZyme for years ... works great. Never saw a need to get shampoo ....

[NeveSSL]

Agreed, Kat. Even though I've not had a chance to use it on my wetsuit (had to order a new size which will be here next week), I did use it on my reeking sandals and it made them literally smell like new! (they smelled like rubber again) I was shocked... that rocked! So now I'm going to get a spray bottle and dedicate it to MiraZyme for shoes.

I just use a couple capfuls in my cleaning bin, add water and everything - sandals included get dunked then hung up to dry ...

I usually use the wetsuit shampoo first, then spray with MiraZyme. Might be overkill, but my wetsuits stay smelling nice.

How do you use Mirazyme? If I saw it first, I probably would have gotten it but shampoo is shown when purchasing a wetsuit.

My shampoo requires me to use 1/2 oz per gallon of water and then scrubbing the wetsuit or whatever.

Both are good products, but they are not really substitutes for each other. Shampoo is a cleaner, so if you get your stuff dirty - like mucking in lakes, etc. Mirazyme is an enzyme based product and the enzymes eat the odor causing bacteria out of the neoprene (or shoes in the above case!)

Mirazyme is great for anything that smells funky or musty, the shampoo if stuff gets dirty. So it really depends on what your gear goes through.

Oh okay..

Well, I only dive in Ocean and Springs so I guess I won't need mirazyme

Never bothered, until my cat pissed on my wetsuit. Went on ScubaToys to order a $4 bottle of Mirazyme... and $70 later it came along with lots of other stuff.
