What is the best way to clean the Dainese sanitized lining in their leathers

[DoubleEagle]

My Dainese leather riding Jackets and pants have been getting pretty sweaty so I'd like to know the best way to clean the sanitized linings ?

Dolph ?

No FHE with Dainese (hope to change that next year), but I would throw my Yamaha (Hein Gericke) leathers in the washing machine when they got funky, armor and all. I'm lucky to have a large front load washer, but if you're able, take the armor out so they'll fit. Use a low spin cycle if possible. The only other way I can think of besides the machine method is turn the leathers inside out and use some kind of cleaner on the lining.

You aren't worried about damaging the leathers in the wash?

You can take the whole suit to a cleaner that does well with leather. Can be a touch pricey, but I'm sure it'd be well worth it. I think Matador did that not too long ago.

I bought a used suit and took it to the local dry cleaners. For $75 it came back looking (and smelling) pretty close to brand new.

Actually , I am referring to Jackets and Pants.

I don't wear my suit until it gets cooler since it's not perfed.

I'm wondering if something like Fabreze would work ? I've seen it advertised on T V and it comes in a spray container from the grocery store. It supposedly freshens up curtains , upholstery and the like.

I really don't won't to put my Dainese leather Jackets and Pants in the washing machine .

As far as taking all my Jackets and Pants to a Dry Cleaner , well that would be cost prohibitive for how many I have.

Says the guy with 2 S4Rs, a 1098R, and a BMW. 

Fabreeze should probably work. I know people who have used that on their leathers. No FHE though.

I'm not against saving money!



Just to set the record straight....I now only have 1 S4Rs.

Please, people, for the love of God, do not throw your leathers in the washing machine.  Please.  It pains me to even conceive of this.  Don't even do this with your textiles.  If you insist on doing so, at the very least, remove the armor.  There are some dry cleaners that will clean your leathers, but I generally try and discourage this.  Some of the chemicals they use can degrade the leather a bit, which is fine on a fashion jacket, but definitely not so on a riding garment.

I already replied to your email, Dolph, but let me reply here as well.  For the leather itself, use any good quality cleaning/conditioning kit (We make them, but Leathermasters and Luxol are great too).  As for the sanytized liners, a simple wipe out with a damp sponge soaked in a weak sollution of Woolite will work wonders.  I also use Febreeze on a regular basis, and it works great at keeping the funk down.

Thanks Dan, I knew you would have a good answer for the Dainese leathers.

I was waiting for the professional answer so that I didn't sound insane. Now that Dan has replied...

I use baby wipes or sanitizing wipes to clean out my gear. For inside my lid and boots, I have some spray that works like fabreeze, but has no scent (unless lack of sweat is a scent).
