How to Clean Your Gloves

I know it might seem silly to explain but I have had so many questions lately, mostly from our new members about how to clean your gloves and make them not stink so bad. If you clean your equipment well, it can last you longer without smelling like an old hockey bag!

5 Steps to Keeping Your Gloves Smelling Fresh!

1. Use the ozone cleaning spray we have in the club to spray the outside and inside of your gloves.

2. Use a paper towel to wipe the outside and the inside. Make sure you get all the way in there to the fingers!

3. Don’t throw your gloves in your bag and forget them there, keep them in an open space so they can air out.

4. Wear your wraps! The wraps help absorb some of the sweat so it doesn’t go directly into your gloves… Yummy…

5. Wash your wraps after each workout, if your wraps stink, your gloves are gonna stink more! You can get a reusable grocery bag or a specific laundry bag with a zipper. One of our members recently told me she uses a pillow case and ties an elastic around it to seal it. Use anything, just put it in something so it doesn’t get stuck to and tangled around in your clothes. I usually wash mine with the towel load just in case too, those Lululemon’s are expensive and I’m not messing around!

Your gloves should last at least a year, maybe even more if you take care of them. If they start falling apart, get too bendy, and you’re leaving crumbs on the floor after class, probably time for a new pair! Haha
