Technical details and features

The formulation is designed to effectively clean delicate technical yarns without stressing the structure of the fibres. As a pH‑neutral detergent it reduces the risk that conventional cleaners will attack Elastan and coatings. It rinses out completely, minimising residue build‑up and protecting the breathability and colour intensity of sublimation prints. For care, ASSOS recommends washing in a laundry bag at max. 30 °C, without bleach or fabric softener, and air drying instead of tumble drying. The Cleanser also helps prevent unwanted foaming in the chamois during rain.

Applications and benefits

The detergent is ideal for bibshorts with chamois, jerseys, baselayers and lightweight wind and rain vests whose performance depends on clean, residue‑free fabrics. Combined with gentle washing habits such as no fabric softener, an extra rinse cycle if needed and air drying, you will noticeably extend the lifespan of your cycling kit. This not only protects elasticity and fit, but also maintains odor neutrality during frequent use, for example commuting or intense training blocks around Zurich. ASSOS care instructions and independent cycling guides corroborate these proven practices for performance underwear.

Sustainability and packaging

If you ride a lot, you wash a lot – the 1‑liter unit is therefore economical and reduces packaging waste compared to small bottles. The bottle is made from recycled materials (rPET), which can lower resource use compared to virgin PET. In Swiss households the empty bottle can be conveniently disposed of at the usual PET collection points, supporting the recycling loop. This way you combine high‑quality textile care with a more mindful approach to packaging in everyday cycling.
