    I found a bit of neat fairy liquid did the trick, but bare in mind that you want to wash it off pretty well afterwards.

    I find muc off to be weak to the point of uselessness nowadays, bit of an expensive waste.
    Will try neat fairy liquid + toothbrush!

    You have enough free time to clean your tyres with a toothbrush?

    Soaps/detergents need water to work – it’s actually the water that does the cleaning with the detergent breaking the surface tension. Also the item to be cleaned needs to be wet (which will give it a -ve charge) so that the (also) -ve charged soapy water can carry away the dirt.

    In laymans’ terms: water brings the fairy liquid alive!

    If they are folding tyres, bung them in the washing machine with the rest of your biking kit.

    ^^ don’t do that with cotton ply sidewall’s…

    I use washing up liquid and a pan scourer, not a harsh one just a normal “green & white” one..
