Gear Guard Oroginal and Advanced bottles of different sizes arranged on a white surface with a blurred laundry background.

There's usually more than one thing your detergent has betrayed...

Your favourite gym top.
The dog blanket.
Those sheets you paid too much for.
Your teenager's everything.
That one sports bra.
The Modibodi's.

You're not doing it wrong.

Detergent cleans the surface. That stubborn smell lives in a sticky glue stuck deep inside the fabric.

Detergents are missing the enzymes that break those down.

Gear Guard fixes that.

Does exactly as described. The smell just disappears. It's not replaced by another smell. It's not a faded version of the smell. It now has no smell. None.

I have a teen wrestler and his workout clothes are enough to make me want to give up on life and put them in the trash. Now, even if they've been sitting wet for a few days, they come out of the dryer looking like new and smelling like nothing. I hope to never be without Gear Guard.

There are other enzyme boosters with DNase, but this is the only one that's just DNase — which means I can use it on silk, wool and other natural fabrics. After a season of hunting, our wool undergarments needed some help and Gear Guard did an amazing job.

I was worried I'd have to throw out my husband's favourite shirts. Nothing really shifted it until I tried Gear Guard. The funk has stayed away. It saved them from going in the bin.

Good questions

The things people ask most.

What ingredients are in Gear Guard Original?

Water
The carrier that disperses the enzyme evenly through your wash. Our products are concentrated, so there's less water, a smaller bottle, and lighter shipping.

Preservatives (MCI & MI)
These keep the formula stable on a warm, humid laundry shelf. They're used well below regulatory limits for wash-off products, and the wash and rinse dilute them further. They're a known cause of contact allergy in people already sensitised to isothiazolinones. If that's you, try a single bottle first. Love the wash, or it's on us. Full refund, shipping included, no time limit and you keep the bottles.

dnase
Shed skin cells leave sticky eDNA in your fabrics, and it acts like a glue that holds body oils and grime in the fibres. dnase cuts that glue so your detergent can finally rinse it all away.

How do I use Gear Guard products in a top or front loader?

One capful per wash, or three pumps if you're using our pump dispenser on a 375ml bottle.

Where it goes depends on your machine and detergent.

No detergent tray
Pour Gear Guard into the drum with your detergent, on top of your clothes.

Detergent tray + liquid detergent
Add Gear Guard to the tray with your detergent.

Detergent tray + powder detergent
Put your powder in the drum under your clothes, and Gear Guard in the tray. Powder and liquid mixed together in the tray can turn gluggy. It won't hurt your clothes, it's just messier.

Is Gear Guard safe on delicates and period underwear?

Yes! DNase is one of the enzymes that is safe to use on natural fibres as it does not attack the proteins in the fibres themselves. This means fabrics like silk, wool and other natural fibres are safe to use Gear Guard on.

What temperature should I wash at using Gear Guard?

Gear Guard's sweet spot is around 40°C (about 104°F). It will work up to 60°C (140°F), though not recommended above that. Around 88°F (31°C) is just the start of its effective range warmer is better for enzyme activity.

What do I do if Gear Guard doesn't work for me?
