Cleaning and protecting a bike are separate jobs that work against each other if you use the wrong products in the wrong order. Muc-Off's Duo Pack With Sponge bundles both steps into a single kit: a 1 liter bottle of Nano Tech Bike Cleaner handles the washing, and a 500ml can of Bike Spray lays down protection once everything dries. The included Microcell sponge gives you something purpose-built for scrubbing frames and wheels without the scratching you get from household sponges. If you've been piecing together cleaning supplies from automotive aisles or grabbing whatever's under the kitchen sink, this kit simplifies the process with bike-specific formulas.

The Nano Tech Bike Cleaner uses a biodegradable formula that breaks down mud, road grime, and chain splatter without acids or harsh solvents. You spray it on, let it dwell for a few minutes, agitate stubborn spots with the sponge, then rinse. The alkaline-based chemistry works on all frame materials and finishes, including matte paint and carbon fiber, and it won't contaminate disc brake rotors or pads the way petroleum-based degreasers can. That matters if you're cleaning the whole bike rather than masking off brake components. The liter bottle provides enough cleaner for multiple washes.

After the wash comes the Bike Spray, which displaces water from frame tubes, cable housings, and component interfaces where moisture likes to hide. It leaves behind a thin PTFE layer that resists corrosion and keeps dirt from bonding as aggressively between washes. The coating stays non-sticky, so it won't attract grit the way some protectants do. For bikes stored in damp garages or ridden through winter slop, that protective step extends the intervals between deep cleans and keeps pivot points and cable runs from seizing up.... Read More
