Supporting you to get the right solutions so you can smile when you ride
Hard to Reach Places
Bikes shape & design means there are a number of hard to reach places on a bike that you will need to ensure you can get at. Having some simple bike cleaning equipment can help make this simple. Brushes of varying sizes are really helpful. Long soft bristles are ideal and a few old toothbrushes will make your cleaning effort easy.
Choose Natural Cleaners
Having a bike will lift your appreciation of our natural world. There are several companies offering natural bike cleaners that do not contain petrochemicals or ethoxylates. It’s a great idea to invest in these plant based cleaning solutions.
Match your Cleaning Equipment to your needs
If you plan to ride your bike often you will need to regularly clean. If you ride off road you will get dirt & mud on your bike and will need to regularly clean. Make this process simple and fun by choosing products that make the work easy.
For example, spray bottles directly apply cleaning solution into parts of your bike that are difficult to access. I have already mentioned using brushes for this reason as well. Multi-use cleaners are ideal. A concentrate will clean your chain and can be diluted, with water, to clean your bike.
Have a range of equipment that will help you clean quickly and well when you choose to do it.
Match your Cleaning Equipment to parts of your bike
Some cleaning equipment is well designed for use on certain parts of your bike. A large bike brush is great to quickly get dirt and mud off your tyres and frame. A cleaning cloth works really well between the rings (sprockets) your chain runs over. A toothbrush is magic in small weird shaped spaces.
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.
Kids
Getting the kids involved from an early age with bike cleaning is a great way to help them learn about their bike and value it a bit more.

Clean Your Cleaning Products!
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.
If any cleaners or lubes are running low get replacements so you are not caught short.
