Cycling clothes care
Cycling clothes care
Cycling clothes care begins immediately after use. Wearing clean cycling garments for each ride is critical to the prevention of cycling related saddle sores and other skin irritations.
To ensure longevity in the life of your cycling garments :
Storage:
- dry all cycling garments before putting them into the hamper after a ride
- Store all cycling garments away from direct sunlight
Laundry
- turn cycling clothes inside out before washing them
- zip up all cycling jerseys before laundering
- launder all cycling garments with a mild detergent and no fabric softener
- clean all cycling garments using the gentle cycle
- wash all cycling clothes after every ride before re-using to prevent bacterial growth
- hang all cycling garments out of direct sunlight to prevent premature fading
