Extend the life of your Peppermint Cycling items.
This guide will help you take care of your Peppermint Cycling Co. gear with best practices for use, washing, and storage. For the most accurate care instructions, always refer to the label on your garment.
General Recommendations
We do recommend that you do a pre-wash of your new garments before the first use.
After a ride, hang your items to ventilate. This will help prevent bacteria and odors from building up and reduce the chances of damaging the material. If the item is very dirty, we recommend rinsing it as soon as possible to avoid stains. Before washing, check that all pockets are empty, then close all zips, velcro, and fastenings. Turn bibs and jerseys inside out.
Air dry items when possible. Most items can be hung to dry. This helps them maintain their shape, makes them last longer, and saves energy compared to using a dryer. Tumble dryer damages the elastic fibres, therefore it is not recommended
General Washing Instructions
For optimal results, we suggest conducting a pre-wash of your new Peppermint Cycling garments prior to their initial use. Wash Regularly: Clean your cycling jersey after each use to remove sweat, bacteria, and odors. Use a mild detergent and wash in cold water to preserve the fabric.
Ensure to avoid
