How to Protect Motorcycle Gear from Sweat Smells

Protect Motorcycle Gear from Sweat Smells

Introduction:
Motorcycle gear, such as jackets and gloves, is designed for safety and durability but is prone to odors from sweat and bacteria. Proper care and the use of advanced antimicrobial treatments like Germkleen’s ALLFABRIC™ can help protect your gear from these issues.

Why Does Motorcycle Gear Smell?

  1. Prolonged Use: Extended wear leads to sweat absorption.
  2. Material Composition: Leathers and synthetic fabrics can trap moisture.
  3. Bacterial and Fungal Growth: Microbes thrive in warm, damp environments.

Steps to Protect Your Gear:

  1. Clean Gear Regularly:

    • Follow care instructions for each material.
    • Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth for surface cleaning.

  2. Air Out After Use:

    • Hang gear in a well-ventilated area to dry.
    • Avoid storing damp items in enclosed spaces.

  3. Use Antimicrobial Sprays:

    • Apply Germkleen’s ALLFABRIC™ to jackets, gloves, and other soft goods.
    • The treatment reduces microbial growth, preventing odors from forming.

  4. Condition Leather Items:

    • Use a leather conditioner to maintain softness and prevent cracking.

Conclusion:
With regular cleaning and antimicrobial protection from Germkleen, you can keep your motorcycle gear fresh and odor-free while preserving its quality and functionality.
