How do you take care of your fight/sparring/training gear?

Kinukumutan ko sa gabi tapos kinakantahan ko ng lullaby. But seriously, the baking powder method LBB uses is full of win.

Thanks man! It's the same thing I used to when I was a hardcore motorcycling nut. Bini-baking soda ko insides ng helmet and leather gloves ko.

Actually, the correct way is by: first, wipe off all the goop in the insides with a cloth and water until it is clean; second, make a baking soda-water solution and use a sponge or cloth to wipe it on the inside surfaces; third, air-dry your stuff preferably with an electric fan. Just leave the baking soda residue because it deodorizes your gear and is actually a naturally exfoliates for your skin so you'll have flawless skin... parang baby ang pakiramdam.

yung price na yan usually is trapal material bro. Punas lang then punas ng tuyo. Pwede mo rin labahan yan. Pag leather, Leather care stuff is the best.

Regarding sa pag sag nya d maiiwasan yan pag mura yung bag, my tip for you is use duct tape(yung pang kidnap) to reinforce the bag.

I use foot deoderant powder in my gloves, elbow and shin gards. I have cleaned the outside of my gloves with alchohol.... but I agree it is a bad idea.

I use the Sun a lot. When it is a hot sunny day I hang all my gear out to get nuked by the suns rays. It is a very effective bacteria killer.

I wash my cup with anti-bacterial soap (Dr wongs sulphur soap).

For my mouthpiece I usually rub the dirt off it with my shirt before putting it in my mouth. After all the GRO's I have kissed a dirty mouthpiece is the last of my worries.

23. Clean and freshen sports gear
Use a baking soda solution (4 tablespoons baking soda in 1 quart warm water) to clean and deodorize smelly sports equipment. Sprinkle baking soda into golf bags and gym bags to deodorize and clean golf irons (without scratching them!) with a baking soda paste (3 parts baking soda to 1 part water) and a brush. Rinse thoroughly.
