I just use TIDE laundry soap,after i hose it down with hose, and then go over the stain spots witha tide stain pen, and then wash them in tide, and it does a pretty good job, another good thing is to try to buy darker colored gear, especially if you ride in a lot of clay, cause i have 300 dollars worth of gear stained from one day of riding in a clay pit.

no stains here. I use a pressure washer on the gear after I was my quad. Then I throw them in the washer, let them run with reg soap for like 5 min, then add some Simple Green then let them soak in that over night, no stains.

Stain stick first and then put in washer with Simple Green and soak for a while.
Stain stick must be on for over 10 minutes OUT OF WATER before putting in washer with Simple Green.

I was going to use simple green but it says not to use on fabric so was afraid to do that..But might have to try it. thanks....mommab

You can use it, but you need to dilute it like you would with regular laundry soap. I usually fill the washer with water then add simple green, next let it aggitate for a short minute(WITHOUT CLOTHES INSIDE) to mix up properly. Then add clothes and soak for a while then turn the washer back on and let it run its cycle.

Those are great ideas, but I like mine better. I let my wife do it...
