light squirt Palmolive per 1.5 gallons sof****er and warm water. Mix. Add 1 pint isopropyl alcohol. mix. allow to stand 30 minutes. then use washing machine with other clothing. Adding .5 squirt Palmolive. The bucket contents are squeezed dry here but ? yhwoing it all in has merit. |

I used to liberally use isopropyl to clean my glasses and found my bike shorts had these see-thru splotches- I surmised it was the alcohol and stopped using that and have not had a recurrence of those splotches. After a ride I just walk into the shower with a bucket, take my bike stuff off in there and use pert shampoo to clean my stuff which I hang to dry afterwards- the shampoo is suds-ey but gentle on the fabric- the only thing is it doesn't work on oily road grime following a rain ride. I don't like trusting a machine to wash my jerseys; they have a lot of memorable rides locked in them and I'd hate for them to get torn in a machine (I still have my 1st anodize-purple coolmax top from the early 90's- though I usually wear it under a jacket or vest nowadays because that colour and style is out of place) |

no iso on lenses. and maybe no iso soap on lenses ie. no
antibacterial. mix the solution before adding clothes if paranoid. iso is very "gentill" nyl rinse lenses in water streamj then use very dilute no iso palmolive, rinse with faucet water then rinse that with distilled. try Bosch and Loam sight savers wiping droplets off. on jerseys damaged by iso are prob badly done first off. the dye process and fabric are tougher than iso umnless there's something wrong with the fabric. I have a bag of poly for 'outside' activity and try using the roller drum washers with DISH SOAP diluted with water: 1 to 1.5 squirts to 1 gallon plus dash of iso. shake it the soap settles. Tide destroys clothing not the wringer. |

lemme see here...uh polyester and lycra feel rubbery when wet, lycra
more so. Lycra absorbs water where polyester tends to not absorb water. I haven't used iso 70 percent, 1 pint/gallon on lycra. The lycra hasn't acquired a bacterial colony. I don't know what polyester and lycra bacteria host potentials are ? Dohna own no expensive jerseys only poly and poly 90/cotton 10. The problem I came up with was acrylic/cottton super gym/hot weather hiking socks hosting bacteria smelling like cat sex marking urine. |

It uses (synthetic) long chain polymers, which if it was not deemed a yarn or cloth would be called rubber. Lycra is not even close to being rubber. Rubber (natural) is a predominantly non-polar polymer with some polar groups to aid in cross-linking (vulcanisation) - cis-polyisoprene. Synthetic rubber is similar in that it is polybutadiene, with some styrene blocks to add required polar regions. Lycra is a urethane-urea copolymer- far more polar and chemically very dissimilar to rubber. Propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) will not dissolve a urethane-urea copolymer.
