FAQs
Can I use regular laundry detergent with my race suit?
It is not recommended. Regular detergents can contain harsh chemicals that may degrade the special properties of technical fabrics like Nomex. The Molecule Wash is specifically formulated for these materials.
How much Molecule Wash should I use per load?
Refer to the instructions on the Molecule Wash bottle for the recommended amount based on load size and soil level. Generally, follow standard laundry practices for liquid detergents.
Is the Molecule Wash Kit safe for all types of race wear?
The kit is designed for technical fabrics such as Nomex and other fire-retardant materials found in race wear and kart wear. Always check the garment's care label to ensure compatibility.
Can I use the spot cleaner on my helmet or boots?
The spot cleaner is primarily designed for fabric stains. For helmets and boots, it's best to use cleaners specifically recommended for those materials. However, it can be used on fabric components of boots.
How does the antimicrobial agent work?
The antimicrobial agent helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria that thrive in synthetic fabrics and sweat. This keeps your gear smelling fresh for longer periods between washes.
What is the shelf life of the Molecule Wash Kit?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place, the Molecule Wash Kit typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Check for any expiration dates printed on the packaging.
Troubleshooting
Stains are not fully removed after washing.
Ensure the Molecule Spot Cleaner was applied generously and allowed sufficient penetration time. For very old or set-in stains, a second pre-treatment and wash cycle may be necessary. Check that you are using the correct wash-to-load ratio.
Gear still has an odor after washing.
Verify that the Molecule Wash was used and not a regular detergent. Ensure the correct amount of wash was used. For persistent odors, try an extra rinse cycle or consider a specialized sports wash additive if compatible with your gear.
Fabric appears dull or less vibrant after cleaning.
This is uncommon with the Molecule Wash Kit. Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing or drying. Always follow garment care labels precisely. Avoid fabric softeners.
Spot cleaner leaves a residue.
Ensure the spot cleaner is thoroughly rinsed out during the wash cycle. If residue persists, try an additional rinse cycle with clean water. Avoid using too much product; a little often goes a long way.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
The Molecule Wash Kit is specifically formulated for technical fabrics commonly found in race wear and kart wear, including Nomex and other fire-retardant materials. It is designed to be a replacement for standard laundry detergents when washing such specialized gear.
**Setup & Use:
- Spot Cleaner: For localized stains (oil, grease, fuel, dirt), spray the Molecule Spot Cleaner directly onto the affected area. Allow it to penetrate for 5-10 minutes before washing. For very stubborn stains, gentle agitation with a soft brush may be helpful.
- Machine Wash: Use the Molecule Wash in a standard washing machine. Follow the garment's care label for water temperature (typically cold or warm) and cycle settings. Use the recommended amount of wash as indicated on the bottle.
Care Instructions:
- Always refer to the care label on your specific race wear or kart wear for detailed washing and drying instructions.
- Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage technical fabrics.
- Air drying is often recommended for technical fabrics to preserve their properties. If using a dryer, select a low heat setting.
- Store the wash kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
