1. Wetsuit stink mostly comes from living bacteria and fungi. Killing them is the first step.
2. Listerine is mostly alcohol (ethanol). The antibacterial value of alcohols is maximal at 70%, and alcohols evaporate even at room temperature. Adding boiling water will blow away most of the listerine (smell the vapors and see for yourself. If you must, get some mouthwash with tartar control (look for the ingredient triclosan). I wouldn't waste money on this.
3. Woolite is actually a pretty strong detergent, so if you must use it, a dab will do.
I keep away the funk differently, more on the flip.
Fungi are stinky, and neither mild soap nor alcohols will kill then. For this you need the big gunsFor serious funk, do a 30-60 minute soak in Head and Shoulders or similar anti-dandruff shampoo (I use store brand). This HAS perfume, so repeat the steps above to get rid of the residue. Use about 1 cup of shampoo per 5 gallons.
Booties: increase the amount of shampoo and soak time. Still rinse it out with clean water before wearing them.
