I wash my gear (jerseys, gloves, headwrap, bibs, etc) in lingerie bags. That way they can go in with my regular wash and not get destroyed. I use warm water, unscented Tide, and NEVER use fabric softener on bike stuff or other wicking (cool max, etc) clothing. I have a front loader which is gentler on the stuff...and I do put the entire bag and contents in the dry on low for 7 minutes before hanging it on the bar...
