slide down to your local dive shop, we (dive shops) carry a variety of cleaners for gear and wetsuits after salt water diving. Always a wise choice to properly care for your gear.

No need to use soap or fancy cleaners for snorkel or dive gear. The important thing is just to get the salt off, and plain old fresh water will do the trick.
The best way to clean your gear, is to fill a bucket or a tub with warm water, and then dunk your gear several times to rinse it out thoroughly. In some cases I like to swish it around underwater, and maybe rub the rubber parts to ensure a thorough rinsing. After that, let it drip dry and store it in a cool, dry, *dark* place.
Salt and sunlight are the two things that’ll kill your gear in no time at all, keep it safe from that and it should provide good use for a long time.

You’ve done it. Fresh water rinse is all that you need to do. DON’T use any detergents. Some can degrade the silicone used in mask skirts and the mouthpiece on snorkels
