jrhendryx Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 So, I have a set of Joe Rocket textile gear, and i have a problem I like my things to be clean. This suit, after a year of abuse in all elements, is filthy. It wouldnt be so bad if it were black, but it has huge white patches that catch grime and just make it look like i stopped the bike, got off, and rolled around in the dirt. I read the care instructions on the label inside the coat, but it says i cant dry clean, machine wash, soak, etc etc this thing. it doesnt say anything about cleaning it via telepathy, but unfortunately i appear to not have that gift. how do you clean your textile gear? im at my wits end here. heres what it looks like - the pants are pretty clean - they only get worn in inclement weather or when i go on a long ride. the jacket is worn every time I am on the bike, every day, so its filthy. the white patches (as can be seen in the picture) dont reflect light well anymore because they are so dirty.

YZF Lad Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I have a product called tech wash, it comes from either a bike shop or outdoor pursuits shop. It washes your tech clothing without damaging the fabric or waterproofness of it. Then I use reproofing product so the water beads again - dont use the stuff you add to the conditioner draw on the washing machine, they dont work well. I have used one you rub in to the fabric, workds great. Hope that helps. By the way, I washed the jacket in the machine on a delicate setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 You could try ulta-sonic cleaning which will shake the dirt out. I would contact the makers to find out what they recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
