what do you guys wash your bib shorts with

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I've tried a few soaps, but what do you recamend to use? :confused:

I don't wash my cycling shorts. They smell like a fine French cheese. ;)

Actually I use just a little normal laundry detergant.

I use Sport Wash. There's another brand that's similar, but I can't remember it's name. I'll try to come up with it. Always good would be any pure soap detergent.

Sport Wash can be used in HE washers and has been muy effective for me. A possible problem with regular detergents is that your nads may not get on with any residual products in the chamois, under the heat and pressure of time in the saddle. Also, certain materials don't do well with regular detergents (I'm not a textile guy, so I'm not sure why.), and the stuff in chamois could be some of those materials. I dunno.

thx, i've heard of using hand soap, but wasn't brave enough to try it :D

I use Sport Wash, too. It was recommended by my LBS, but Wal-Mart sells it for a lot less.:)

I found two products called Sport Wash. One is made by "Penguin" and the other by "Sno-Seal". Which one should I grab?
