Anybody got ideas how to go about washing these things?
I got a new set recently, but they always sem to leave my knees red and itchy - I think they might already be saturated with sweat (mmm, lovely).
Ideas?
wel... mine aren't in great condition anymore so I don't really care lol.
a low heat/slow spin would be best.
Watch out for the velcro though, they cling to ANYTHING and can ruin other clothing/other parts of the pad if they're not velcro'd together properly before putting in the wash.
what you mean the sweat from my legs doesn't clean them :shock: oops
I'm not entirely sure it IS the sweat causing the rashy knees. The old kyle straits i had never did this, and were never washed.
These ones are quite new, so I'm thinking it might be some dye or something like that that's the problem. But still, I'll tyr washing them first.

blimey you guys are caring of yours!! mine go in with the rest the kit 30/40degree wash with all ion one washing liquid, normal spin etc.,
only trouble i get is if i dont wear anything under then they rub the top of my knees, someone recommended cutting the toe off some old socks to wear as liners!
if am honest, only wear mine in the winter to kepp my knees warm!
If you just put them loose in the machine, the velcro can hook onto other stuff and the logos fall apart after a few goes. Stick em in the string bag or a pillowcase if that's a problem.

I dry mine by laying them flat in the sun or on the radiators in winter.
