If you want to keep your boxing gloves fresh, you should read this article carefully! You probably borrowed a pair of boxing gloves from the kickboxing club or gym during your first lesson at the gym. You will never forget how bad those boxing gloves smelled! We hear this story almost every day in our store! If you want your boxing gloves to stay nice and fresh, we recommend that you follow the tips below.
1. Always wear bandages
Wearing bandages has two advantages. First of all, a large part of the sweat that comes from your hands is absorbed into the bandages. You then put these in the wash so that you have clean bandages for the next training. Another advantage is that by applying bandages you get a compact fist, which allows you to punch harder. You can buy a set of new bandages in our store from €8.
2. Let your boxing gloves dry
After training you should always take your boxing gloves out of your sports bag. This allows sweat to evaporate better and keeps your boxing gloves in better condition. You can keep boxing gloves fresh by leaving them on the doormat. Or in another place where there is a little draught. The next morning your boxing gloves are dry.
3. Use a fragrance spray
For people who sweat a lot, a Fresh KO spray is a good solution. The spray has a pleasant mint scent and kills all bacteria that cause that annoying stench. Spray a little bit into your boxing gloves and you're good to go again.
4. Use a deodorizer
Of course we also sell products to care for the inside of your boxing gloves. Deodorizers are odor-neutral bags that often have a carbon filling. Carbon has the natural ability to extract moisture. You can use these deodorizers indefinitely, as carbon dries automatically and never loses its properties.
5. Use dryer sheets
You can buy dryer sheets for less than 2 euros at various stores such as Zeeman. These are often available in various scents, most of which are sweet. You put a cloth in each glove and after a few hours they smell nice and fresh again. You can also use these wipes on smelly shoes and the like.
Care of boxing gloves and care products
There are many ways to keep boxing gloves fresh. The cheapest solution is to wear bandages and let them ventilate well. If you do this consistently, you can train comfortably with fresh boxing gloves.
