Bike commuters / office drones - do you use no-rinse wipes when you get to work?
https://theprepared.com/gear/reviews...hygiene-wipes/
If so, do you recommend any particular brand? TIA ![]() |

I’ve used these in the past and they work fine. Big and one is enough. I have showers where I am now so upgraded to a chamois towel and rinse off

I used disposable washcloths, several different brands. They're like a larger and thicker baby wipe. You can also put them in a microwave for a few seconds for cleaning up after a cold commute. I was fortunate that I only had one commute situation where I needed them. All others had showers.

I've used the Dead Down Wind wipes in the 20-pack, same as shown in the top row of the pic. Not for bike related purposes, but during deer season when I'm up at the hunting camp and might go 4-5 days without a shower. They work fine at removing the grime and leave me feeling pretty clean, so I have no complaints with their performance. Haven't used any others for comparison, just bought them when I caught a good deal in-store. After seeing the linked review I might try one of the brands with slightly larger sheets next time.

I have a short commute; 3 miles so I just wear my work duds. It is a humid mid-west environment even in the morning. Anyway...hearkening back to my racing days I simply use a towel, rubbing alcohol, deodorant, some light fragrance if needed. No complaints.

I dont have to worry about getting sweaty at my job but after spending countless HUMID and HOT summers in japan I've learned that these are the best wipes you can get https://www.amazon.com/Gatsby-Deodor...a-338724874930

Are they "deodorant" in the same sense as long-lasting under-arm deodorant, where chemicals are deposited on your skin and stay there to continue to act, or are they deodorant in the sense that on contact they kill the bacteria that cause the odor, but then the stuff evaporates? I ask because I don't want to be wiping "regular style" deodorant all over my body. (as far as I know I don't need that...) |

reduce your waste and get a mega-pack of white washcloths. Go in the bathroom to change, wet one with water and just a dot of Dr. Bronners soap (or whatever soap you want). wash off. have another wet one with just water for the rinse. then a final one or two for the dry off. Then chuck them all in a dirty clothes bag. Then on the day you drive, take them all home for a wash. I also find this leaves me feeling cleaner than the wipes. I think I am actually cleaner, too.
I use the spacious handicapped stall for this. Only really works if you don't bike every single day. You need a car day to replenish clean hand towels. I got this idea from being at a location that had lots of washcloths for hand drying in the bathroom rather than paper towels.

I only have 5.5 miles each way and i shower before i go to work, so normally, i just hang out in the locker room and drink cold water for a bit so i dont look like a sweaty mess. Even then, ill still sweat through whatever shirt i change into for an hour or two after i get in.
