Great point! Most manufacturers recommend dry cleaning because they believe it to be a safe method. Negatively, dry cleaning blasts it with harsh chemicals. It’s more costly, not as effective in the cleaning process and it takes time! Racers are always searching for ways to do things faster. Washing with MOLECULE is a more effective cleaning process removing the water soluble soils (sweat, etc) better than dry cleaning.
Molecule makes machine-washing the best way to clean racing suits and sports equipment including NOMEX. Dry cleaning is acceptable, but the expense and effort is not necessary. The proof is in the thousands of suits cleaned by Molecule. We designed Molecule to work directly with the specifications of Nomex®; meaning the design of the cleaners at the proper pH levels and specifically chosen surfactants to be most effective in the sports environment.
This is our secret ingredient. Bacteria is everywhere and grows when it is given food and water. Well, news flash, when you sweat you’re feeding the bacteria, and its growth is accelerated. As the bacteria goes through its life cycle, it begins to break down and causes odour. Hence, our powerful antimicrobial agent in both WASH and REFRESHER is your way to combat the odour-causing bacteria.
Molecule WASH was designed for the unique soils of racing and sports environments. Ordinary detergents also contain additives that can attract moisture, oils, and flammable stains. Once you try it, you’ll be a believer!
If the suit is new, we recommend you clean it first with 4oz. (about 120mL) of WASH in the machine, warm/hot water, and gentle cycle. Once the suit is finished with its wash cycle, it now has the Molecule anti-microbial agent throughout all the fabric. While the suit is clean, spray PROTECTOR liberally over the outside of the suit covering all areas, and place in the dryer on high heat for 30 minutes and then again for 30 minutes (this allows the fabric to cool in between)
