How often should I wash junior boxing wraps? Will it be bad if I machine wash it directly?

1. Best Washing Frequency

When hands sweat a lot during combat training, junior boxing wraps will absorb the sweat quickly. The organic matter in the sweat becomes a breeding ground for bacteria in a humid environment. If you don't wash them in time, the bacteria will multiply rapidly, which will not only produce an unpleasant odour, but also may cause skin allergies or infections. In addition, timely cleaning of junior boxing wraps can reduce the erosion of sweat on the lining of the gloves and extend the life cycle of expensive boxing gloves. Wash them after each training session to keep junior boxing wraps clean, not only to use them with peace of mind, but also to avoid cross-contamination of bacteria affecting the subsequent training.

2. The right way to machine wash junior boxing wraps

Direct machine washing of cotton junior boxing wraps will not cause immediate damage, but you need to master the correct method; otherwise, it is easy to accelerate the wear and tear. Put junior boxing wraps into a fine mesh laundry bag to prevent them from wrapping around other clothes, avoiding damage caused by Velcro hooks and pulls, and reducing the wear and tear of the Velcro itself. When washing, choose cold or lukewarm water. Hot water shrinks cotton and accelerates the ageing of elastane fibres. Gentle washing mode is essential to reduce the wear and tear of fibres caused by the violent tumbling of junior boxing wraps in the drum. Use normal washing detergent, avoid bleach and other strong corrosive chemicals to prevent damage to cotton fibres and junior boxing wraps' colours. After washing, take out and unfold completely, put it in a ventilated and cool place to dry naturally, the high temperature of the dryer will destroy the structure of the cotton fibre, leading to the hardening of junior boxing wraps, loss of elasticity, and may also deform the Velcro to make it ineffective.
