How to wash your bike: four life hacks

SSPDaily has prepared several life hacks on how to wash a bike. Learn about methods to keep your vehicle clean and functional.

Removing rust

Squeeze fresh lemon juice on the rusty areas and leave it on for about 30 minutes to allow the citric acid to dissolve and loosen the rust. Then wipe off the affected area. Rinse off the lemon juice thoroughly with water and make sure the area is completely dry.

A soft sponge and a bucket of soapy water

Take a bucket of water and a soft sponge and add a neutral detergent. Wash the bike from top to bottom, starting with the frame and ending with the wheels. This will help keep it clean and in great shape.

Using a toothbrush

When cleaning your bike, you can use a toothbrush to get into hard-to-reach areas. The small bristles are effective at removing dirt.

Drying with a microfiber cloth

After washing your bike, you can use a microfiber cloth to wipe off any excess water without leaving any residue. Gently wiping the frame, wheels, and other components with a microfiber cloth helps to preserve the appearance of the bike by preventing water stains.
