I am so ashamed, I brought my bike to work to ride home and I look over and the white is dirty! Gasp. My poor Miranda, she must feel like she has a booger hanging out of her nose or something.
I should go ask if we have pledge to "clean" on my lunch break.

Pledge Wipes = my new friend! Got her all cleaned up today with orange scented Pledge wipes and she's looking beautiful again. And I tried shampoo and an old toothbrush on the bar tape and it worked pretty well...still grimy, but not nearly as embarassing. She smells really good too...I didn't have any Herbal Essences but the scents of Pantene and orange Pledge wipes compliment each other nicely.
One thing I was thinking while wiping her down was how important it will be to NOT get any Pledge on the wheel rims. It's slippery stuff and I'm pretty sure it would reduce braking power quite a bit.
Great advice guys...thanks!!!
