keeping your whites white

sancho_panza

Keen to buy a white jersey - visibility, looks etc

Always wash my kit at 30ºC, and whites with whites etc - what do people do about getting dirt off a white jersey?

Hope this isn't too dumb a question -

In anticipation

if it's a grease mark, washing up liquid usually takes it out, then wash as usual

i haven't got a washing machine, so i just cold hand-wash in assos cleaner, it's concentrated so a little goes a long way, whites are fine

Also depends on the make of the jersey - Gore fabrics are colourfast and clean well whereas I know plenty of cases of white Assos kit going sludge grey. My advise is always to wash new white kit seperately a number of times to set the colour.Polyamides are very prone to colour leaching when new.

Normal mud - comes out fine in the wash for me. Whites with whites, 30C.
Chain grease / oily road muck - I've got a little can of this

Dr Beckmann Stain Slayer. It smells like chain degreaser but the little can has lasted me 18 months and it never fails to get greasy marks out. Actually, it might be chain degreaser in an aerosol can...

If you fit mudguards then you'll reduce the stains almost entirely.

Just don't ride the wheel of someone without them !
