Maintenance of punching bags
- Wipe the outside of the punching bag with a slightly damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Do not use harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the material and shorten the lifespan of the punching bag.
- Make sure the punching bag is hung in a dry environment to prevent mold.
- Use leather grease/leather conditioner once a month to prevent cracking and drying out (in the case of leather punching bags).
- Always wear (disposable) gloves and/or bandages.
- Check the chain and suspension system for signs of wear. If they are damaged, you must replace them.
- Over time, a punching bag will "sag." The filling collapses under gravity. Usually, you can refill the punching bag from the top with a suitable filling yourself.
