    After reading various forums I've learned quite a number of people use special detergents for their cycling clothes... but I don't.
    I believe that Tide TotalCare has fabric softener in it.

    It does not contain fabric softener but according to their website it does have Protective Fiber Complex. Based on my 11 months of using it, it hasn't impacted the wicking of my family's athletic clothes.

    Protective Fiber Complex.

    What exactly is that?

    I just love technical obfuscation.

    Couldn't tell ya! LOL! But I can tell ya that when I don't use fabric softener along with the Total Care, there's a serious static cling problem... so that tells me whatever it is it's NOT fabric softener! LOL!

    There's always homemade.

    Buying a homemade detergent kit kind of defeats the purpose IMO ... but once you're started, you can buy all the ingredients anywhere.
