It is usually a good idea to wash your cycling clothing after each ride. This helps to remove sweat and bacteria that can cause bad smells. But some high-performance fabrics work better if they are not washed as often. If you cannot wash your clothing after each ride, try spot-cleaning the areas that are dirty or sweaty, and then hang the clothing up to dry. Do not use fabric softeners because they can ruin the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric.
