What is the best way to clean a racing suit? I see they can be dry cleaned or machine washed but which way keeps it looking fresh. Do any of you use the liquid spray repellent??

Al I just machine washed my jacket once a year when I was racing more than a few times a year. I don't think I would treat the fabric with that anti-stain spray because it might be flamable panic

I used t have my stuff dry cleaned. Suits are not all made from the same material. I would find and use the manufacturers recommendations.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
