  2. Why do Hand Wraps Smell So Bad? Hand wraps accumulate smell because they absorb sweat during your boxing or martial arts sessions. This moisture creates a cozy environment for bacteria to thrive, and where there’s bacteria, there’s usually an unpleasant odor. Hand wraps tightly wound around your hands and restrict airflow. The tight wrapping accumulates moisture and exacerbates the problem. If you don’t clean your hand wraps regularly, the smell can become pretty persistent.

  3. How to Wash Your Boxing Hand Wraps Let’s talk about why and how to clean your hand wraps. Keeping your hand wraps clean is super important for staying fresh and hygienic during your boxing sessions. Step #1: Rinse Your Hand Wraps After Every Use Boxing hand wraps accumulate sweat and grime during training, so it’s crucial to start cleaning them right after use. Warm Water Rinse in Shower or Sink: Rinse your hand wraps with lukewarm water, either in the sink or the shower. You can use a mild hand soap for a deeper clean, but make sure to rinse them thoroughly to avoid any soap residue that could irritate your skin next time. info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk

  4. Step #2: Deep Clean Your Hand Wraps Every 3-5 Uses Even with regular rinsing, your hand wraps will need a thorough wash every few uses to stay fresh and hygienic. Velcro the Strap Before Washing: Ensure the Velcro strap is closed to prevent it from catching on other items during the wash. Wash in a Delicate Garment Bag: Place your hand wraps in a delicate wash garment bag and put them in the dryer to prevent tangling during the wash cycle. Use a Free & Clear Detergent Safe for Sports Apparel: Wash your hand wraps with a cold cycle using a detergent designed for sports fabrics. Air Dry Only: Never use the dryer or other heat sources like hair dryers, as excessive heat can damage the fabric and Velcro. Air dry your hand wraps completely before storing them to prevent bacterial growth. : Bench Press info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk

  5. More Hacks to Clean Hand Wraps Spray with Cheap Vodka: Yep, you heard it right! Grab some cheap vodka from your nearest store and fill up a spray bottle. After your sweaty session, hang your hand wraps somewhere airy, like a clothes hanger or shower bar. Then, give them a good spritz with the vodka. It might sound odd, but vodka kills bacteria like a champ, leaving your wraps smelling fresh without any funky odours. Baking Soda Soak: Baking soda is a natural deodorizer and can help eliminate unpleasant odours from your hand wraps. Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and add a few tablespoons of baking soda. Let your hand wraps soak in the mixture for a couple of hours or overnight. After soaking, rinse them thoroughly and hang them up to dry. info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk

  6. Should I iron my hand wraps? It’s not recommended to iron hand wraps. These wraps are typically made of fabric and elastic materials, which can be sensitive to heat. Ironing them could lead to damage, such as melting certain components or causing the elastic to lose its elasticity. Instead of ironing, focus on proper washing and air drying techniques to maintain the quality of your hand wraps. If they become wrinkled after washing, you can gently smooth them out with your hands. However, avoid using heat from an iron as it may compromise the integrity of the wraps. info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk

  7. Final Word Used hand wraps are powerhouses of foul smell, sweat and bacteria. Wash your hand wraps regularly to avoid odors and enhance the lifetime of your hand wraps. Rinse the hand wraps after every use and air dry the hand wraps to retain their shape. info@aqfsports.co.uk www.aqfsports.co.uk
