effective
Pros: High Quality, Versatile, safe on technical fabrics
"works very well, i use it for washing bibs, socks, jerseys, gloves, jackets etc., in fact today the girlfriend's silk top got done too
doesn't spoil water repellent finishes or affect breathability or appearance, and it leaves clothes fresh with no lingering whiffs
with muddy/oily marks, hand washing doesn't get every last trace out, but i'm not sure a machine would do much better
it's highly concentrated, dilution is 1000:1 water:cleaner, so when away from home only a small amount is needed to keep things fresh on the trip
it says "skin friendly". but you should still rinse hands well (or mabe use rubber gloves), like other powerful cleaners it can really dry the skin
it may seem expensive, but a bottle does 30-60 washes depending on how much stuff you have to be dunked, and given the cost of decent cycling kit seems a worthwhile price to keep it it good condition"

Quintessentially Assos
Cons: Expensive
"I have used this stuff for ages. It probably isn't much better at cleaning bike clothing than a non-biological washing liquid and it's massively more expensive. But have I taken the risk? No way. It does the job well and unlike some, I don't mind the smell."

quality comes at a price
Cons: Expensive
"I have been using this for nearly 2 years.
It gets clothes clean and makes them smell nice as well, even when they have been stuck in a drawer for weeks.
My only gripe is the price. I was using a bottle a month which can get expensive, so I have switched to Nikwash. Much cheaper but doesn't smell as nice"

Assos Active Wear Cleanser
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"Good product, not totally sure it is necessary better than good originally washing powders or liquids. Not great smelling product if anything negative and perhaps can be a bit cheaper for what it is."

Look after your best kit
Pros: does what it says effectively
"I'm amazed how effective just a capful of this is in a handwash on my shorts. Cleans effectively, rinses out easily and leaves my shorts nice and fresh. Having spent a small fortune on some assos kit I didn't want to simply bung it in the washing machine and leave to the cycle and spin.
All I have to do now though is not fall off the bike!"

Worth the price.
"I'll admit that this is expensive, given the cost of normal detergents.
The difference is that while other detergents require that the clothes be spun, this requires no agitation. Therefore, there is virtually no risk of the material piling.
There isn't much in the bottle, but it dilutes down a huge amount, so overall it does represent good value. It's worth spending this small amount, to ensure that your washing machine does not ruin hundreds of pounds worth of cycling clothing.
Also, unlike some washing powders, it will not make your shorts itch!"

Clean and Shiny
Pros: High Quality
"This stuff is a tad expensive so I don't use it all the time. It restores the box fresh smell to my Lycra items and anything else I pop in the wash at the time. All my shorts and shirts come out nice and refreshed with a soft condition and Assos clothes especially feel super clean and shiny."

Makes even your most pungant cut smell nice
Pros: cleans very well at low temperatures
Cons: Expensive
"This product is not cheap, but it does clean very well; removing trail dirt and dried in sweat very well even at only 30c.
This is the only product my wife will let me use on my and HER sports kit."

Difficult not to start using it for all clothes
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"Are Assos taking this a little *too* far?
That is certainly the question I hear from friends and read about online.
Having used it for a while now, I would say, possibly. It really depends on which side of the fence are you.
For: you spend big money on the best Assos gear and you want it to last, use the most appropriate detergent, and smell blooming lovely.
Against: 'I'll just use my normal clothes detergent thanks".
It does go a long way, it does smell fantastic, and I want my Assos gear to last (after all, it's an investment) so I will be buying it again."

Exceeds all expectation
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality
"This stuff is fantistic - clean, effective, aromatic...... Normal detergent can be rough with fabric but I've not experienced any of this with Assos Active Wear Cleanser.
Don't really want to explain the stench that were my cycling shorts - long rides, sweaty turbo sessions - say no more. I felt like long were eroding my cycling clothes.
Assos Active Wear Cleanser neutralises odours and leaves the clothes feeling soft and new. Fantastic product - won't buy anything else anymore. Possibly a little pricey but worth every penny."

Smells soooo good
Pros: High Quality
"Yes it is a bit of a hassle having to wash clothes by hand in 2010 but like quite a few Assos owners I don`t want my expensive investment damaged by washing of all things. It seems to clean well and is supposedly kind on the fabric. It protects the colour fastness too so my older stuff still looks brand new. A little goes a long way - I use less than half a capful on two tops. But it`s the smell that I think I`m hooked on, perhaps we can persuade Assos to bring out an after shave version?"

Not Cheap but the Best
"if you think any soap will do stop now!
I like Assos gear which is expensive but it lasts and always performs well.
This Assos cleanser leaves your tops and bibshorts smelling clean and somehow feeling 'healthy' and new. A bit like a nurse's uniform! I washed my bibshorts using an ordinary handwash liquid and they felt entirely different and without that healthy aroma. I could not wait to get back from my ride to wash them using the Assos cleanser
I was sceptical about paying such a lot but you only need a little for each wash - one cap full per wash. Having rewashed my gear using Assos cleanser the bibshorts and top felt so good and clean. You feel like they are new each time you put them as they have super clean smell and texture.
I will not use any other product. Simply the best and worth the price"
