Sanitizing spraydown for riding gear

I only have one set of summer riding jacket/pants that I wear in to work each day.
I'm bringing in a change of clothes but as the gear gets sweatier I'll need to also bring in wipes to wipe down.
Then eventually remove the pads and take the gear to be dry cleaned which prohibits my riding for at least a day.
Is the only answer to buy a second set of summer riding jacket/pants or is there a spray that can sanitize the gear, Lysol?

Lysol might work.. or maybe that stuff they spray in bowling shoes? :)

use some vinegar, water, tea tree oil, cedarwood oil, lemon oil (choose your scent but use the tea tree predominantly for its antibacterial properties)

do not use lysol on something you put on your skin. think..

Chartreuse or Absinthe sounds a rather sticky and expensive product. And remember the green fairy that did for Toulouse Lautrec. :mrgreen:
