After a days pballing I chuck in everything that can be washed, such as bottle cover, neoprene hopper cover, neck gaurd, battle pack, gloves, top, trousers, etc....
that works best for me... also gets any black sh!te off of the inner neoprene, so after a days play, you don't look semi-minstrol (no offence intended ofcourse )
stick em in the washin machine on a nice 40degree cycle and they come out nice n clean. or i know someone suggested wearing yer gear and just go in the shower. yet to try that one but it sounds good.
