Boots, helmet, chest protector, knee pads - pressure washer
Pants, gloves, jersey, helmet liner - washing machine
Goggles - sink

ProClean works the best for me. I add it in the washing machine. It helps make the white on the gear white again. I also use the pressure washer and ProClean to clean the ATV plus the boots ,helmet, and chest protector. There is no dirty film left behind on the ATV or gear.

myself if its really nasty same as others..use pressure washer to get the chunks off...then i spray it down with super clean and use a stiff bristle brush and scrub...then pressure wash it again.....THEN :rolleyes: i put it in the washer machine like normal clothes hang dry....my gloves i just use regular hose and hose them out using the scrub brush...helmet, i use soap and reg. hose with a car wash mit...mine has removable liner so thats easy but, other then that just take the hose and hose her out. it seems like alot of work but my gear is 3 years old now and still looks new well, with the exception of the new small tear in my jersey i recieved Oct 12th during my unscheduled dismount:devil:
