Care Rules:

• Before putting on gloves, wrap boxing bandages on your hands. They absorb all the sweat and the equipment remains clean. After each workout, wash the bandages, because they rub against the material of the equipment and dirt is collected inside.
• At the end of the session, be sure to put hand protection in a well-ventilated area.
• After training, fill the product with paper - it absorbs the remaining moisture.
• To remove germs, use an antibacterial spray.
• After each workout, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Wipe dry after a damp cloth.

Important! If a very unpleasant smell comes from the gloves, take a cotton wool moistened with vinegar and leave it inside the equipment for a couple of hours.
