Could something that holds up in commercial washing machine motors be inadequate for a bicycle?
Bikes as we know them really don't like pressure sprays. The meager seals our components have don't do a good job with pressure washers or car washes. I think you'll find that a commercial washer has a fair amount of separation between the wet parts and the motor bearings.

I still stand by my first reply that most any grease is fine and it's how frequently we service our bearings that is vastly more important than which lube we use. Andy
