Cleaning Hints and & Tips 

 

1. Prep your bike cleaning area 

It’s important to first prepare your bike cleaning area. Ensuring you’ve got good drainage, and that there is enough space to get to all sides of your bike. Plus, a bike stand will make cleaning all angles of your bike much easier. We would also suggest setting up your cleaning area out of the wind and rain. This ensures that water doesn’t splash back at you, and doesn’t contaminate any other nearby vehicles. 

 

2. Ensure you’ve got all your tools and equipment

Gathering everything you’ll need to clean your bike beforehand ensures that you’re not missing anything, and you’ll have all the tools you need on hand. Meaning no running back and forward to the garage! So, your water supply/ hose, wash bucket, wash mitt, detailing brushes, cleaning products and drying towels. 

 

3. Rinse off your bike first 

Before you start applying any products, try and remove as much dirt as possible with water first. Hose off debris, grime and dirt as by removing this first, you’ll avoid working this into the bike and scratching any surfaces. 

 

4. As with cars… Start with the wheels 

Just as with a car, the bike’s wheels are the only thing which comes into contact with the ground. We’d always recommend starting the bike cleaning process by cleaning your wheels. This will then reduce the chance of dirt being transferred from your tyres to other areas of the bike. 

 

5. Move your bike 

We don’t mean off the stand, but rather ensure you’re moving your wheels and pedals. This means you can reach and clean all angles of your bike. As there are many crevices on a bike where dirt and mud can penetrate. 

 

6. Store your bike somewhere dry 

It’s ideal to hang your bike, front wheel up. This ensures that any water sitting in the cables or frame pockets will drain out.
