    30 degree delicate wash, use a liquid cleaner designed for DWP treated clothes (I use grangers performance wash). Mud should shift but the roads are caked at the moment so a mudguard would be your friend..

    Trust me none of the cycling community cares or even notices that your gear is dirty.

    They do care that you haven't got mudguards and are covering them in filth :D

    No matter if I'm wearing mudguards or not the back after washing still shows mud signs.
    Its a bloody nightmare. Even if wash it down after a run out on the bike in the rain.
    That said its a fantastic product.

    You have the wrong mudguards. They go on your bike.
    This is impossible.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.
