Gear Guard Advanced DNase + Lipase enzyme laundry booster

Gear Guard Advanced

DNase + Lipase

Your detergent has gaps.
We built the fix.

Most detergents lack two key enzymes: dnase and lipase. They have the biggest impact on the residues that skin contact leave behind, the kind that lead to odour.
Gear Guard Advanced does the job your detergent keeps missing.

Vegan & cruelty free
Fragrance free
Safe on delicates & darks

why it works

Detergent cleans the outside of fabric fibres, not what's trapped deep inside.

Every time skin touches fabric, it leaves behind organic matter, body oils, sweat, skin cells. These feed the bacteria that live on your skin and transfer to your clothes with every wear. Those bacteria leave behind waste deep in the fibres that your detergent can't reach, and it builds up with every wear. Two enzymes, two jobs.
One starves the bacteria. The other clears what they leave behind.
Miss either, and the cycle starts again.

Lipase

Less fuel for bacteria

Fats and oils in sweat and skin cells are a major food source for bacteria. Lipase breaks those down before bacteria can get to work.

DNase I

Breaks down what bacteria leave behind

Bacteria will still find something to feed on. When they do, they leave behind a sticky residue that traps organic matter, no matter your detergent's ingredients. Trapped matter then goes rancid, causing that familiar smell. DNase breaks that sticky residue down so it can be washed away.

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 β€” 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 bits people ask before their first wash.

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.

Is Gear Guard safe on delicates and period underwear?

Yes! DNase is one 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 40Β°C (about 104Β°F). It will work up to 60Β°C (140Β°F), though not recommended above that. Around 88Β°F (31Β°C) is just the start of its effective range warmer is better for enzyme activity.

Is Gear Guard cruelty-free and vegan-friendly?

Our active enzyme is produced through microbial fermentation, and the rest of the ingredients are non-animal-derived. The product has not been tested on animals.

Can I use Gear Guard on period underwear?

Yes! We have many customers who are successfully using Gear Guard on their period underwear. The DNase has no effect on the material used in the underwear themselves.
