2. Good Things About The Product
So, let’s start with the good things about Coco Loco’s wetsuit cleaner…
- It’s a non-toxic wetsuit cleaner. The guys who make Coco Loco (Dirtbusters) have an ethos that they want to have as little an impact on the environment as possible.
- It completely removes any bad odours and gives your wetsuit a nice eucalyptus smell that remains even when the wetsuit is dry.
- It’s cheaper than some wetsuit cleaning alternatives.
- The design on the bottle looks cool.
3. Not So Good Things About The Product
- The instructions on the bottle are a bit vague, doesn’t give the amount of solution needed per litres of water for one wash.
- Not sure you can get five washes out the 250ml as the bottle looks on the small side.
4. Would I Recommend This Product?
So, the main question… would I recommend Coco Loco as a wetsuit cleaner to you guys? Well, my answer is yes but this does depend on what you’re after in a wetsuit cleaner…
If you’re after a wetsuit cleaner that will primarily remove any bad odours than this wetsuit cleaner is absolutely for you. Coco Loco’s solution is a deodouriser first and a cleaner second.
As I’m personally after a wetsuit cleaner that focuses on just the cleaning aspect I think there’re better solutions on the market. However, there is no harm in having a bottle spare so I can easily freshen up my wetsuit every few months.
5. Similar Wetsuit Shampoo Alternatives
So, what would I recommend as a good wetsuit shampoo that focuses on cleaning rather than deodourising? There are two that I think do a better job at cleaning…
O’Neill’s Wetsuit Cleaner + Conditioner
The first is by O’Neill who have their own wetsuit cleaner and conditioner. I would recommend this ahead of the Coco Loco’s cleaner based on the cleaning alone. It’s also the product I used as part of my ‘How To Wash a Wetsuit‘ post.
Rip Curl’s Piss Off Wetsuit Shampoo
The second wetsuit cleaning is by Rip Curl and again offers a better cleaning solution than Dirtbusters Coco Loco Wetsuit Cleaner and Deodoriser. Rip Curl’s Piss Off Wetsuit Shampoo is a good wetsuit cleaner and offers an additional shield like protectant onto the wetsuit material.
