Textile care for cycling clothing

In order to enjoy your cycling clothing for a long time and to use it for several seasons, the right care is crucial. At Bobshop you will find a selection of important care products that have been specially developed for cycling clothing. This functional clothing often has special coatings that can be damaged by ordinary detergents. Special care products are therefore required.

Detergent - for long-lasting freshness

If your clothing smells unpleasant or is soiled, you should not use conventional detergents. These can damage the delicate materials of your functional clothing. Instead, Bobshop offers special detergents that maintain the breathability of the clothing and clean it thoroughly. Ideally, wash your functional clothing at 30 to 40 degrees Celsius and avoid using fabric softener, as this can impair the functionality of the fabrics.

Glasses cleaner - for a clear view

Dirt and stains can affect your glasses after every bike ride. A special glasses cleaner effortlessly removes sweat, mud, raindrops and dust so that your glasses are sparkling clean again.

Helmet and shoe spray - against unpleasant odors

After a long tour, an unpleasant odor can rise from your shoes or helmet. A special shoe spray neutralizes these odours by absorbing moisture and leaving a fresh scent. These sprays are gentle on materials and are also suitable for helmets. Use the spray regularly to avoid unpleasant odors, especially after sweaty rides.

Waterproofing spray - for optimum weather protection

Waterproofing spray is particularly important for clothing with weather protection layers. It renews the protective layer, also known as the membrane, and ensures that your clothing remains optimally protected and you stay dry. Apply the waterproofing spray after every third wash to maintain the protection in the long term.

Care instructions and tips

  • Frequency of care: Wash your functional clothing regularly to remove odors and dirt. Use the waterproofing spray after every third wash for optimum weather protection.
  • Storage: Store your clothing in a cool, dry place to protect the materials and prevent mold growth.
  • Special materials: Please note that different materials (e.g. merino wool, synthetic fabrics) may require special care instructions.
