- Wipe the outside of the punching bag with a slightly damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Do not use harsh cleaning products, as they can damage the material and shorten the punching bag’s lifespan.
- 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 (for leather punching bags).
- Always wear punching bag gloves and/or handwraps.
- Check the chain and suspension system for signs of wear. If they are damaged, you must replace them.
- Over time, a punching bag will “settle.” The filling compresses under the force of gravity. In most cases, you can refill the punching bag yourself from the top with suitable filling.
