Keeping your gear clean ensures it performs at its best and lasts longer. Here’s how to care for your Mosko Moto garments:
General Guidelines
Routine Cleaning: After day rides, a simple hose-down might suffice. For extended off-road trips, consider a thorough wash with tech wash post-ride.
When to Wash: If your gear looks dirty or water no longer beads on the surface, it’s time for a wash.
Pre-Wash Tips: For heavily soiled items, use a hose or pressure washer to remove mud and debris before machine washing.
