I wash my kit (gloves and all) after every ride. I also use borax and fabric softener most of the time in the washer. I realize that I might be beating up my kit a little more. But I couldn't keep the odor under control otherwise. One of the few drawbacks with cyclecommuting is going home stinky. Oh well. Its not like I have a date with a second girlfriend to ride to...
