Heck yeah! I'm on the citrus one at the moment though. I'm going to shower after a ride anyways, may as well share the water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I used to take my kit in the shower and gently lather it up with whatever shampoo I had purchased at Target. rinsed and air-dried...
now I throw all my cycling gear (jersey, shorts, gloves, head band, gloves, socks) in the washer, use a modicum of scent-free detergent, and set it for 5 min agitation. then air-dry... no difference in life-span of the gear. |

Lavender is just for a little aromatherapy. The coke actually does work to remove oils and brighten whites, just don't add after clothes are in... it needs a little dilution first. The spa my better half used to work at used coke mixed in to wash sheets/towels that got messed up with oils and such and they came out much cleaner than when they skipped it.

Modern washers have gentle cycles....though a commercial machine in an apartment building may not be very gentle relative to a home front loading machine. Putting the kits in wash bags helps keep it from getting beaten up by the plastic agitators in a top loader.
There are different spin speeds...gentle cycle is usually a low spin. Not sure that matters for the clothing, but it does mean it is less dry when it comes out of the washer. Line drying is key....dryer heat is really bad for lycra. Once I stopped putting my stuff in the dryer (even on delicate), it stopped wearing out (eg. when bibs get shiny and start being a bit see through). |
