Dainese Ducati Supermotard Textile cleaning

[PhoenixS4R]

I'm curious the proper way to clean this jacket?  I remember reading some paper work briefly regarding it, specifically saying not to have it drycleaned or run it through a machine, however since the day I bought it and now I have lost the paperwork.

I'm not looking to get it looking like new, just....less smelly. I hosed it down after a ride yesterday (Mostly cause I'm lazy) which helped a bit but it still smells like exhaust.

It really should have a care label sewn into it somewhere, which is a legal requirement in most countries. Unfortunately, the label does not have to be easy to find. If there's a separate liner, it will have its own label, which may very well have different care specified. You might have to look up arcane symbols online. I had to learn the damned things when I took home ec in Germany in the 70's but forgot them as quickly as possible.

  Check the pockets, usually there is a care label sewn into an inside pocket.

I wash my textile jacket using Woolite, cold water, delicate cycle, and than hang dry. If the jacket is loaded with dried on bugs I'll stop the washer after it fills and let it soak for a half hour.
Seems to work fine, I have seen textile get snagged in the regular cycle tho..

I have a Dainese Zentex textile jacket.  Care label says to not machine wash, but the thing was dirty and stunk like exhaust.  I removed the armor, and threw it in a front loading washing machine with just a bit of regular detergent, cold/cold and gentle cycle.  Air dried it afterwards and it looks GREAT.  My reasoning was that if the things are designed to hold up during crashes, why on earth can't you throw it in a washing machine!

I definitely don't recommend machine washing it.  Just remove the armor and hand wash using a mild detergent like Woolite.  Do not machine dry either.  Either hang dry, or even better, lay it flat to air dry.
