  • How do I take care of my hand wraps?


    Make sure you buy multiple pairs of hand wraps because they should be washed after  
    each use. Since it can be time consuming if you only own one pair, it is recommended    
    you have a few pairs in your equipment bag.

    Ideally your hand wraps should be washed after each use.  Also, they should be rolled up
    after each use.  When you roll them up, start rolling at the end or where the Velcro
    enclosure is.  This essentially means you roll them up backwards but this will enable you  
    to easily put them on the next time you go to use them.  If you roll them up correctly  
    your finger loop should be hanging loosely at the end and you can just tuck it in before
    putting the wraps in your gym bag.

    Hand wraps can be a pain to maintain for two main reasons:
    1)        they like to wrap around your laundry in the washing machine like a boa   
    constrictor
    2)        the colors can run and ruin your other clothes.
    3)        It can be difficult to roll them back up for your next use.

    Because of wonders of modern day technology these problems are easily solved.  First   
    go out buy yourself two things: a hand wrap wash bag and a hand wrap roller.

    The hand wrap wash bag is a mesh bag that is designed to keep all of your wraps  
    together and away from your other clothes.  It looks like a bag that you wash delicates
    with, however it is bigger.  Once your wraps are in the wash bag, you can drop it in any
    washing machine AND dryer.   The bag will keep your wraps from tangling with your
    clothes.

    AVOID washing your colored hand wraps with any white clothes.  It is probably fine to  
    drop your wash bag in with your dark laundry however RED has a tendency to run.     
    Many people have turned their white loads pink by accidentally dropping in their red hand
    wraps.

    After you have washed your wraps, simply roll them up using your hand wrap roller.  This
    will allow you to easily prep them for your next use.
