what to wash cycling clothes with . . .
Most of the tags say to use "mild detergent." Well, how exactly do I
know if its "mild?" I used to use Woolite, but read somewhere that I shouldn't be. (Have no idea why.) So, what should I use? |

So, what should I use? If the clothes are expensive, you should undress directly into the washing machine and run them through a cold or lukewarm rinse cycle with no additives at all -- this removes sweat that would, if allowed to dry, rot the fabric, and it wears them less than a third as much as a full wash. Dry on suit hangers. Wool and silk so treated won't stink, but it eventually gets dingy. Before that happens, I wash my cycling clothes with the same blue liquid I use on everything else, but rinse them twice to make sure no detergent is left in them to irritate my skin. I put undiluted blue liquid on chain-grease marks, but it doesn't help much. This treatment does take out skin-oil stains, if they haven't been allowed to accumulate. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |
