Immediately after a ride, I put my cycling clothes in a wash bag, put them in the washer, set it on the delicate cycle with a medium spin cycle, add the Nathan's Sport Wash and turn the washer on. After 37 minutes (on my washer), the cycles are finished and the clothes are ready to hang up to dry (they are almost dry after the spin cycle). Because of this, I have some cycling apparel that is 6 years old, has been worn frequently, and it still looks like new! I highly recommend Nathan's Sport Wash!
