5 Reasons KoalaCloth Belongs in Every Motorcycle Rider’s Kit

Aussie Riders Are Skipping the Full Wash and Still Turning Up With the Cleanest Bike at the Café Stop

I Didn't Think a Cloth Would Change My Saturday Routine

I've been riding for over thirty years. And I've always looked after the bike properly.

 

Saturday in the shed, the bucket, the hose, the bike wash, the chamois and a pile of old rags. A good two hours before she was ready for the Sunday ride.

 

Nothing wrong with a proper wash. I still do one. But not after every single ride.

 

The trouble is, the bike doesn't stay clean for long. A run up the coast and the screen's covered in bugs. A dirt road and there's a film of dust over the tank. Park it in the garage for a fortnight and you can write your name in it.

 

My wife had a few of these grey cloths for the shower glass. One day I grabbed one, wet it under the tap and gave the tank a wipe.

 

No bike wash. No bucket. Just water.

I'll be honest, I didn't expect much. I've seen plenty of "miracle" cleaning gear come and go.

 

But I was wrong. Here's what I found and why I now keep three of these for the bike alone.

Reason 1: A quick wipe beats a full wash every time

This is the bit that changed my weekends and saves time.

 

Not every ride needs to end with a full bike wash. Sometimes it’s just a bit of dust on the tank, fingerprints around the controls or road grime on the panels.

 

Wet your KoalaCloth with water and give the suitable surfaces a quick wipe. No buckets, no big clean-up and no turning a five-minute job into your whole afternoon.

 

The cloth's 60 x 40 cm, so it covers the tank in a pass or two. The whole bike takes about ten minutes.

 

A handy little tidy-up before you put the bike away.

Reason 2: Just water. No sprays or chemical cleaners.

A typical shop rag or the chamois cloth, cheap microfibre sits around 200–300 GSM. 

 

At that density it doesn't really lift the dirt. It drags it across the paint and that's how you end up with smears on the tank and fine marks on the screen.

 

KoalaCloth is a 600 GSM microfibre, roughly twice as thick. The fibres grip the dust and road grime and hold it in the cloth instead of pushing it around.

 

It soaks up to 600 ml in one go, so there's no water left sitting on the chrome to dry into spots.

 

No bike wash. No quick detailer. Just tap water, which also means nothing harsh going near your paint or a ceramic coating you've paid good money for.

Reason 3: XXL Size Makes Cleaning My Bike a Whole Lot Easier

One thing I really like about KoalaCloth is its size.

 

At 60 × 40 cm, there's plenty of cloth to get around the bike without constantly folding, turning or reaching for another one.

 

The bigger surface makes quick work of the tank, side panels, mudguards and other larger areas. A few good passes and you're through a fair bit of the bike.

 

And here's the handy part: use the damp side to lift away dust and road grime, then flip it over to buff the surface dry.

 

No need to juggle a spray bottle and three different cloths.

 

Less mucking around. More time riding.

Reason 4: It Handles the Chain Clean-Up Too

Chain maintenance can get messy.

 

A damp KoalaCloth helps wipe away built-up road dirt and excess grease around the chain and sprocket.

 

It grabs it instead of smearing it further around the swingarm. 

 

A word of advice though: keep a separate cloth just for the chain. You don't want chain grease ending up on your bike's paintwork, screen or other surfaces.

 

That's when I realised something one cloth wasn't going to be enough.

Reason 5: Wash it, dry it and it’s ready for next time

Here's another thing I like about KoalaCloth: you can use it again and again.

 

After wiping down the bike, simply pop it in the washing machine according to the care instructions, let it dry and it's ready for the next clean-up.

 

No constantly buying disposable wipes, no going through a pile of cheap cloths and no need to replace it after every ride.

 

The durable microfibre construction is made for repeated use, making it a handy bit of kit to keep in the garage.

 

One cloth, plenty of clean-ups. Ready whenever the bike needs a bit of attention.

What Do Other Aussies Say?

Darren W.

“Gives my car windows a proper clean without leaving streaks. Happy days!”

Mick R.

“I used to give the bike a full wash just to get the road dust and grime off. Now I give it a quick wipe with a damp KoalaCloth after a ride. Makes keeping it looking schmick a whole lot easier.”

Peter H.

“Got one in the garage and use it on the car and bike all the time. Handy bit of kit!”

My Final Thoughts

I'll be honest, I wasn't convinced at first. I've looked after my bikes my own way for years, and I wasn't about to change that for just another cleaning cloth.

 

But after using KoalaCloth, I started seeing the difference. No need to drag out the bucket and all the cleaning gear every time there's a bit of dust or road grime. Just wet the cloth, give the bike a quick wipe and get on with your day.

 

And the 60-day money-back guarantee made it an easy decision. I figured I'd give it a fair go. If it wasn't up to scratch, I could send it back. But I've kept mine.

 

I still give the bike a proper wash when it needs one. But for those little clean-ups between rides, KoalaCloth has become part of my routine.

 

Now, with the Buy 3, Get 3 FREE deal, you've got enough to keep a few handy
