Why is it important to take care of your boxing gloves?

Boxing gloves are in constant contact with sweat and moisture, which can lead to bacteria and odors if not properly maintained. In addition, proper care ensures that the internal and external materials are kept in optimal condition, prolonging their lifespan.

At Buddha Sports we offer gloves for different disciplines, such as muay thai y kickboxingall designed to withstand intense workouts.

Practical Tips to Avoid Bad Smell and Dirt

Prevention is always better than cleaning. Follow these practices to keep your gloves fresh:

1. Wash your hands before training: This prevents bacteria and dirt from coming in contact with the inside of your gloves.
2. Use bandages or inner gloves: They absorb sweat, protecting the inside of the gloves and making them easier to clean.
3. Ventilate the gloves after each use: Never store them in a closed bag. Use a breathable bag or place them in a dry, ventilated place.
4. Do not share your gloves: They are personal and should be used exclusively by you to maintain hygiene.

How to Clean Your Boxing Gloves Step by Step

If your gloves already have odors or dirt on them, follow these steps to effectively clean them:

External Cleaning

• Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the surface.
• Apply a specific disinfectant to eliminate bacteria without damaging the external material.

Internal Cleaning

• Open the gloves as much as possible and let them dry in the open air, avoiding contact with direct heat sources.
• Introduce absorbent paper or baking soda sachets to eliminate humidity and odors.

Washing machine? No, thank you!

Avoid washing your gloves in the washing machine. This can damage the padding and deform the outer material. Always opt for manual methods to protect them.

Additional Care to Extend the Life of Your Gloves

In addition to cleaning, it is important to follow these recommendations:

• Proper storage: Store them in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Leather care: If your gloves are made of leather, apply a specific conditioner to prevent them from drying out or cracking.
• Periodic review: If you notice significant wear or deformations, consider replacing them.
