About the proper care and cleaning for bikers in winter In order for you to have something of your biker clothing for a long time, it must be properly maintained and cleaned. Especially in winter - if mud, dirt and water splash your clothing - this is absolutely necessary. Improper care or cleaning can easily backfire and damage your clothing.

Tip # 1: The pre-cleaning First, the clothes should be pre-cleaned on the onion principle. Since the outer layer of a good windbreaker has a waterproof property, the outer film of dirt can be tapped or brushed out. For washing too, the rule is: as little as possible and as often as necessary!

Always look at the washing label before washing and pay attention. The manufacturers give you here ever important information on how to handle the washing.

Tip # 2: The cycling shoes Please do not put your ​cycling shoes​ in the washing machine - even if they are heavily soiled, they do not belong there! Brush the outer dirt - as with other shoes - with a strong brush or tap off. It is important that the shoes have to be able to dry well,

so that no fungal spores can develop in any remaining moisture bubble.

Tip # 3: Velcro and zippers To keep the function of the Velcro and zips long, you should close them before washing.

Tip # 4: Gloves and cycling helmet pads Use gloves and, if necessary, wash your cycling helmet pad with mild hand wash to prevent it from shrinking. The wash temperature should not exceed 30 degrees for this reason.

Tip # 5: Detergent Basically, all sportswear made of functional clothing: Under no circumstances use a fabric conditioner! The chemistry of the fabric conditioner negatively affects the moisture transport and is detrimental to the delicate fiber work of the functional clothing.

Also please do not use powder detergent, they have the unpleasant property of remaining in the tissue and then sticking it together. Please always use only a liquid detergent.

The ideal washing temperature should be between 40 and 60 degrees.

Tip # 6: Spin Skidding and drying is a chapter in itself. Dangerous beginner mistakes are often made here which are not good for the clothing. The most important thing is: Please only spin with low revolutions so that the sensitive membrane of the functional clothing is not damaged. Especially important is ​this advice for soft-shell jackets​ . You should not​ fling these at all.

Here as well - as far as skidding is concerned - it is

always helpful to have a look at the sewn-in manufacturer label.

Tip # 7: Dry A dryer should always be used when the impregnation needs to be renewed. This is automatically the case after several washes. As a rough bar is here: After three to four washes, the impregnation should be reactivated. The freshly washed functional item of clothing is briefly sprayed with a commercially available impregnating agent and then inserted into the dryer at a moderate temperature for a maximum of 20-30 minutes.

Tip # 8: The laundry belongs to the left It is advisable to turn the functional clothing from the outside to the inside before the wash cycle - so "on the left". The reason for this is the protection of the outer material against scrubbing in the washing drum. Furthermore, this procedure protects the Velcro and zippers better against expansion.

Tip # 9: Dry on a leash Functional laundry has the advantage of fast drying. On a dryer can actually be dispensed with, since the material is spared. You also save electricity costs and the environment thanks you. Again, please do not forget the look on the care instructions: A crossed out square with a drawn circle signals to you that the garment is not suitable for a dryer.

Tip # 10: Storage Also, the right storage of sportswear must be learned.

Of course, modern functional clothing can be stowed on a pack size, but this should not be the rule. It is

better, if it takes a little longer, the clothes neatly on a hanger to pull and hang in the closet.

Against moths and other light-shy "animals" effectively helps a cedar wood, which is available in different shapes and sizes in specialty stores.
