I used Molecule on my Nomex suit and it did a very good job, a bit nicer than Woolite but either one was acceptable from a level of "clean".
However, when it comes to grease, gas and other permanent stains and contaminants, nothing works as well as Molecule.
I would take my son's old karting suit, covered in chain lube, gas/oil, etc after a rain race, treat and wash it in Molecule and it would look almost brand new.
Nothing else we tried would even come close.

I stand corrected and sorry if I added to the confusion. Here are the instructions from my suit (OMP Evo):
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Dry-clean (no trichloroethylene solvent and/or Industrial cleaning) or delicate machine wash in cold water using mild detergent. Machine wash is preferred over dry-clean when prints are present on suit. Dry suit on a hanger and do not tumble dry. Never use heat to dry a suit. During care always keep Velcro fastened. Never use bleach, a detergent with bleach, or other solvents on any suit. When completely dry store suit away from any light because light sources will cause suit to fade and discolor.
