Tips for Cleaning Your Bike this Summer

Cleaning your bike this summer

In 2020, people were desperate to get out and enjoy the weather since most of us were staying indoors and social distancing. Many people rushed to bike stores and bought out so many bikes. It seemed as if bikes were hard to come by last year. This year, we’re expecting to see more bikers out than ever. In the summer months, your bike can have some dirt and grime after long rides and many uses. It’s important to clean your bike thoroughly throughout the summer.

As any cyclist will tell you, rainwater, sun, and gravel are a few of what you can expect to damage your bike by either causing rust, chipped paint, or denting. Aside from those types of damage, everyday dirt can build up on the bike and decrease the bike’s ability to run and function properly.

Routine cleaning is essential to the upkeep of your bike, specifically during the summer months when the bike is in use the most.

The Best Way to Prevent a Dirty Bike is to Clean It

A good scrub will remove all the dirt and grime that accumulates inside and out. How effective your cleaning job will be is based upon the product you plan on using. There are many cleaning solutions on the market but not all can ensure to clean without scratching and stripping of paint. You can test a product on the smallest part of the bike as a trial run, but that is a risk not needed to take.

A solution to your bike cleaning needs is the melamine sponge.

  • This revolutionary sponge has been designed to use on a variety of surfaces, but more specifically for boats and automobiles.
  • The non-abrasive sponge works well and easily to clean and polish in one movement.
  • Melamine sponges are also very durable and will hold up for a large automobile like a motorcycle.

Removing Road Grime from Your Automobile Wheels

Road Grime on Car Tires

Spring is usually all over the place when it comes to weather. It will be rainy one day, snowy on another, and warm and sunny the other days. It creates a mixture of rain, mud, dirt, grim, and ice that your automobile has to deal with. The wheels can carry around quite a bit of dirt and grime.

Here is a simple way to get rid of the grime on your automobile wheels:

Monster Scrubby Sponge

The Monster Scrubby Sponge is one of a kind when it comes to cleaning the exterior of your automobile. I will stiffen up to a metallic wool in cold water, and it will stay plush and soft in warm water. When cleaning the grime off your wheels, this can be a very useful sponge to get the tough dirt that might be caked on from the Spring season.

  1. Begin by hosing down the tires and rims before anything else
  2. Use the monster scrubby sponge to scrub down the tougher dirt and grime.
  3. Then, you can add the monster scrubby sponge to a bucket of warm soapy water.
  4. The scrub will be much softer, which then you can apply the soap to the tires.
  5. Hose down the tires and rims.

To wipe down the tires, you can use our microfiber cleaning towels. These can be put to use on a car because they will clean almost any surface and never leave any scratches.
