Two bottles of 'Gear Guard' on a washing machine with a blurred laundry room background

Your detergent had one job

For life's mess that
survives the first wash.
And the second.

For the smells you've been thinking about for too long
Goes deeper than your detergent can
The clean your nose can confirm

Vegan & cruelty free

Fragrance free

Safe on delicates & darks

Two bottles of Gear Guard laundry booster on a washing machine with someone folding laundry blurred behind

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

You're not doing it wrong. Your detergent is.

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

Detergent was never designed to break that down.

Gear Guard fixes that.

One capful is all it takes. Add alongside your detergent, in with your normal wash. Nothing else changes.

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 love this stuff! I use it in my wash loads, I use it to pre-soak, I use it to wash period pants, and I've used it to wash stinky pet stuff. There's no end to the uses. If it's got some sort of body-related stink on it, I'll be using Gear Guard to get it out.

Good questions

The things people ask most.

How to use Gear Guard in a top or front loader?

If your machine does not have a detergent tray, add your capful of Gear Guard to the washing tub along with your detergent. If you have our reusable pump dispenser for 375ml bottles, 3 pumps of Gear Guard.

If your machine has a detergent tray, it depends on whether you use powder or liquid detergent.
If you use liquid detergent, add both the Gear Guard and your detergent into the usual detergent tray. A capful of Gear Guard, or three pumps if you have our reusable pump dispenser for 375ml bottles.
If you use powder detergent, we recommend adding powder beneath your clothes, and adding Gear Guard into the detergent tray. This is to minimise the chance of the powder and Gear Guard turning gluggy. There is no risk to your clothes if you add powder and Gear Guard to the detergent tray.

What fabrics is Gear Guard safe to use on?

Dnase is one the enzymes that is safe to use on natural fibres as it does not attack the proteins in the fibres. This means fabrics like silk, wool and cashmere are safe to use with Gear Guard.

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.

Does extreme heat or cold effect Gear Guard's effectiveness?

Broadly, no.
DNase is often stored in lab settings in freezing temperatures. If you find your delivery has become frozen during delivery, let it thaw at room temperature and give the bottle a shake before usage.
With heat, the DNase enzyme is still effective up to 60c/140f in the wash. A bottle is unlikely to get to that temperature , all the way through, in a normal every day situation.

You're able to put Gear Guard in a fridge without issue.
