Help, I've run out of bike cleaning cloths!

[Vantage]

Get a cat!
Grabbing its legs and using a to and fro motion, it can buff the frame up beautifully. The tail can be handy for cleaning between the sprockets and claws can scrape off hardened on muck.
Cat then spends the evening licking itself clean ready for the next day. New fur grows on a daily basis so is self rejuvenating. Simples.

Get the yellow microfibre cloths; they have an almost infinite ability to absorb oil, grease and dirt:

Muscle Ts surely?

You called?

 

[Tim Hall]

Don't they call them "yer pulling pants" in Glasgow?

If they don't work, they're "no score drawers".

I was getting low on rags too, but we've recently been issued with a new uniform at work & I now have about a dozen redundant shirts, result

Should this be in the mechanics forum?
As per title, got no more old tees, linen, towels, even used up the emergency holey socks to oil a chain.
I've been using 3 bikes, the commuter, the ice bike, the snow tractor.
They need cleaning almost after every ride or they seize.
What am I gonna do???
Hope the 4 bottles of GT85 will last me till spring ...

Start a "Cleaning Cloth Museum"!!

Get the coal tar and mangle out and head to the river with the grubby ones

Well you could try my method @Pat "5mph"

I wash all my dirty cloths in the machine while my wife is at work.
Then when she gets home and realising ive been at the LG the fight starts.
Lots of shouting and abuse ,birth certificate needs checking etc.


Then when she calms down and we reach the silence stage " i like to spread the pain out" i tell her i tumbled them too

I have no words

Get a cat!

Got one already, he's got his own old towels for when he gets wet in the rain

The forum's advice has been very valuable, as usual

you must be on a different forum to the rest of us then

 

[classic33]

Would the cat miss one or two of his towels?

 

[Accy cyclist]

Give them all a good power washing. Not forgetting to give those bottom brackets a good blasting!

Industrial dishwasher at work.

You wouldn't want to try that with either of mine, though. You'd lose.

Even cheaper from a charity shop.

Not around here, it ain't... They charge more for used Primark stuff than you can get it for new *in* Primark...
