Understand the Process First
Make sure you have a clear understanding of how to clean your bike chain and why this is important. When you know how you also know what way you prefer to clean your chain and therefore you know which products you need to use.

Choose Natural Cleaners
Having a bike will lift your appreciation of our natural world. There are several companies offering natural chain cleaners that do not contain petrochemicals or ethoxylates. It’s a great idea to invest in these plant based cleaning solutions.
Have a Routine
If you clean your chain often it will perform better for you. This is especially important if you ride off road and therefore have more dirt sticking to it. If you leave your chain for a long time it will be more difficult to clean when you get to it. We recommend 3-4 gentle cleans then a thorough clean. Clean thoroughly at least once every season if you ride all year round.

Have a Cleaning Kit Ready to Go
When you have products designed for use with a bike collected together and ready to use when you are… you will be more likely to clean. Get a kit set up with everything you need include brushes of several sizes, multiple clothes for cleaning and drying, a cleaning solution that is natural and a lube for your chain.
Applying Lube
After every clean you should dry your chain then apply lube. This will keep it running smoothly and efficiently, giving you good power as you pedal. We offer an all weather natural lanolin lube from NZ company BioMaxa.

MAKE YOUR PURCHASE A SUCCESS…
Keep Your Cleaning Gear Clean!
May sound simple but it is not often done right. Make sure that before you put away your cleaning products that they themselves are clean. Rinse and dry a brush or scrubber. Wash any dirty cloths. This ensures when you go to use them next time they will be ready.
When you finish cleaning if any cleaners or lubes are running low get replacements so you are not caught short.
