How To Maintain & Clean Your Boxing Hand Wraps

HOW DO YOU CARE FOR BOXING HAND WRAPS?
Boxing hand wraps are the first line of defense for keeping your gloves smelling fresh. Taking good care of your boxing wraps will ensure that your gloves also stay clean.
You should have a few pairs of hand wraps available so that you can wash a used pair after every workout. As soon as they get wet with sweat, they are prone to bacteria growth and bad odor. This will transfer to your gloves.
FightCamp Trainer Shanie Smash knows that clean hand wraps are the key to fresh hands and gloves. “I wash them every single time I wear them. I use my wraps hundreds of times; they won’t smell if you take care of them,” says Shanie.
HOW DO I KEEP MY BOXING WRAPS CLEAN?
Both traditional hand wraps and quick wraps can be thrown in the washing machine.
If you have quick wraps, secure the Velcro so it won’t attach to other fabric
For both traditional wraps and quick wraps, use a garment bag - if you don’t have one, we recommend washing them by hand.
Use a gentle cycle with cool water (Alternatively, Shanie washes hers with hot water to kill bacteria and throw some white rice vinegar to help naturally eliminate odors.)
Most boxing hand wraps can also be put in the dryer on a low heat setting. As long as you don’t use high heat, the elastic and Velcro should be safe, but many boxers choose to air dry them instead.
FightCamp team member Cassie prefers to use quick wraps, and switched from air drying to machine drying for convenience.
“I wash them once a week with dark colors and I put them in a lingerie bag so that the Velcro doesn't snag the other stuff. I used to lay them out in the sun to dry but now I put them in the dryer,” she says.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE BOXING WRAPS AND GLOVES?
Once the elastic or Velcro wears out or they develop any rips and tears, it’s time to replace your wraps. That’s why we recommend having multiple pairs at any given time, so you are never without sufficient protective gear.
Heavy bag boxing gloves can last 1-2 years, depending on the quality of the glove and how hard you are training. If you start to feel more impact on your knuckles, you should consider replacing them to avoid hand injury. Of course, if they start to smell, that’s another sign it’s time for an upgrade.
Caring for your hand wraps and boxing gloves will keep them fresher longer. It’s easy to add some simple cleaning steps to your post-workout routine. It’s a small-time investment to protect your most important pieces of boxing equipment!

Is it ok to put powder on your hands before tying wraping them

[@rogsolaris7411]

Much need e help lol. Two quesitons. In the garment wash bag, you only put one wrap in each bag right? So you have two wraps, you'll have two bags, with one in each. Because they usually get tangled up together. And then in the dryer, you leave them in the wash bag right?
