One baby wipe is all I'm going to use. It's all natural dirt so that's all it needs.

What are Southeastern trains from St Pancras like for taking big wheel bikes on? if it's a problem it would have to be a small wheel job.

At the weekends not a problem at all. There are bike belts to tie them up by the toilets.

The door to the bike / wheelchair section has an orange band painted across the top of it.

I think all trains have these doors marked - albeit there is no conformity / continuity.
For instance on the rest of South Eastern's rolling stock (or at least on that with the white carriages / yellow doors) the cycle bit has a blue flash at the top of the door.
On Southern, they have red vertical bands either side of the doors.
I think the idea is that you are able to spot where the doors are, without having to scan for the palm-sized wheelchair / cycle sticker.
I've seen it on other regional trains, but don't travel on them often enough to be able to remember what the markings are.
I don't think I've ever seen anything on the TOC's websites to draw attention to or acknowledge the existence of these markings.
