Washing cycling clothes

pastryboy

All my stuff is washed with liquid soap flakes on the 30 degree 'sports' setting on my washing machine.

Some of my previously white stuff is now sort of grey. Is there any way to restore some whiteness? I've tried white vinegar which doesn't appear to have helped albeit I only used a small amount.

Also, is is possible to get rid of black grease marks that are dried in? I put some WD40 to see if that would extract some but that ended up completely ruining the top.

Barry Scott says, you need Cilit Bang.

You can also clean your chain with it.

All mine goes in with my other clothes at 60C. I don't have any white stuff admittedly, silly colour for cycling clothes anyway.

Wash at 40 or 50 (apart from the padded shorts which are done at 40), the white does go off a little bit (2 freebies so can't complain about the colour).
