Handwrap cleaning

[MetalStorm]

Anyone have any good methods they use to clean their handwraps.

I sweat like mad so I end up having to wash them after each class, I just toss them in the washing machine and usually just leave them out to dry or sometimes toss them in the drier, they get insanely all tangled up and creased and it takes like 3 times as long to put them on due to uncreasing them.

I hand wash them and hang them to dry.

Some luke warm water and a mild soap. Rinse and hang.

This way they don't stretch out or get really tangled.

Hope this helps.

Get yourself a "delicates" washing bag. I keep it in my gym bag and keep my wraps in it until it's time for a cleaning. I then ust throw the bag in with the rest of the wash. To dry them, I just take them out of the bag and pull the wraps gently through pinched index and middle fingers (kind of like a old wash wringer). This helps "iron" them out. I then just hang them over the folded up bench of my Bowflex.

Thanks, sounds like a pretty good plan to me.

Ditto. I have a mesh bag that I throw mine in for the wash. Sometimes I toss it in the dryer and sometimes I hang the up to dry.

My hands sweat a lot too but I only wash them when I do laundry. After class I hang them up to dry and febreeze them. I also febreeze my shin guards and they can get pretty stank smelling too.

I do the same. It works well for me.
