wooooah, you mean you really dont have Sleepy, Grumpy et al washing yer biking clothes?!
When I ride regularly, I tend to hand wash my kit after soaking it with Woolite, spin in the washer and hang dry. Is fast to do and if we dont have laundry to do, the bike stuff doesnt sit around before being washed, plus it doesnt make sense to use the electricity and water for so few clothes items. I just rotate my diff shorts and tops so I always have one set ready to wear.
added bonus of washing by hand is that on a touring trip its all part of the standard routine.
