Cleaning leather motorcycle clothing: my 30-minute routine

To keep your motorcycle gear in good working order for as long as possible, it's important to clean it carefully and regularly. Of course, you often lack the desire or time to meticulously clean it down to the last detail after every ride.
In this guide, I'll list for you how I made my leather suit. Carefully clean what you need to clean immediately and which accessories require less care.

My 30-minute routine:

1) Helmet: 5 minutes
2) Estate (leather): 15 minutes
3) Shoes: 5 min
4) Gloves: 5 min

As a general rule: Pay attention to the label!

Each garment has a label with instructions describing whether It is machine washable or can only be cleaned by hand. Be sure to follow these tips if you want to get a lot of use out of your accessories.

In case of heavier soiling:

• Place damp kitchen roll paper with dish soap or window cleaner on the helmet and visor. This will also remove stubborn flies and other stains.
• Air out the padding and helmet once a week.
• Helmet and padding, if necessary cleaned with helmet padding cleaner Spray it on. Observe the care instructions on the packaging.
• cushion once in the Wash in the washing machine every month (refer to care label)

If I'm in a hurry, I also clean my riding suit with a damp paper towel. Again, if it's heavily soiled, add dish soap.
There are also special cleaning agents for cleaning leather suits, but I personally don't think they are necessary. There are also special cleaning products for leather suits, but I don't think they are absolutely necessary, as home remedies are usually sufficient.
I treat my combination with every six weeks. saddle grease – it is significantly cheaper and often Higher quality than special leather grease for suits.
