How to Clean Boxing Gloves (Eliminate Stinky Odor)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 авг 2018
- The enemy of boxing gloves is moisture (sweat), which leads to the growth of mold & mildew. Obviously you're going to sweat when you train, but the problem occurs when you leave your sweaty gloves in your gym bag overnight. The bacteria will feed on your sweat and produce Bromidrosis, which gives off that stinky, body-odor smell. To avoid this, be sure to dry your gloves after each use and leave them to dry in a well-ventilated area. Additionally, you can use dryer sheets, essential oils, or unused tea bags to reduce any bad odors coming from your gloves.

I use lavender essential oils on my gloves. Putting everyone to sleep.
Irish Technical Thinker do you just pour the oil drops in your gloves? What’s the procedure?

Boxing gloves' odor is one of the worst odors ever.
I almost threw up when I first smelled it
Nah it hockey equipement
you better not visit the changing room in rugby team after a trainning

@@Randomclipos amen
Tip: store and carry your gloves with crumpled newspaper inside. It has worked for me for years.
Beginner here. Thanks
crumpled newspaper? Nice. Thanks a bunch
Damn, I only get flat newspaper. Any recommendation on where to get crumpled newspaper?
@@joface3332 it's a rare occurrence but you can find it. Be prepared to pay extra tho.
@@MomoOfWar hahaha thank you for the commitment to this even after 4 years. I'll keep on looking!
I started kickboxing a month ago and a friend lend me his gloves, he really needed this video because those gloves smelt so bad my hands had a funny and crappy smell the entire day after.
Thats why u need you're own pair of gloved
Jaime Fucking Lannister 😂😂😂
Yesss boxing gloves have a stinky nasty smell
Laughed at this my hands always stink its the best
@@willsmith-ct9pi 🤮🤮🤮
I got a feeling the six dislikes are from the throw-them-into-the-gym-bag-and-not-see-them-overnight crowd. lol
The best tip is to wash your wraps regularly! Funky wraps are the main culprit for funky gloves.
Yes Sir.
every week, thats what i do
I wash em 2 times a week, gloves i've had for 2 months smell already even though i use glove deodorisers
@@ashtar3876 get a boot dryer
Guys you're supposed to wash them every time you use them... Once or twice a week just won't do it
I personally like to use a boot dryer to keep my gloves dry. I spray the inside of the gloves with lysol and then pop them on the boot dryer and the bacteria never gets a chance to smell up the gloves because they dry so quickly. You can find boot dryers for around 20-40 bucks and they work wonders on boxing gloves. I’ve had the same pair for a year and a half now when I used to run through gloves ever couple of months. Highly recommend.
good call man, u got my upvote
Great guide! I made a mixture of 1/4 white vinegar 3/4 water and 10-15 drops of tea tree and lavender essential oils and it works wonderfully!
I swear Shane’s comment sections are the funniest/nicest out of any comment section on RUclips
You know whats the beautiful thing about shane he literally has everything you need to know for fighting wow what a human being.👊👏👏👏
Thanks for putting out quality informative content for years!
I was literally just think of this😂
heh, was trying to find info on how to wash my hat, and its like Shane can read our mind.
Hey, I usually put some Cat litter sand in an old pair of sock and keep it inside my gloves. The litter sand absorb the moisture and eliminate the strong odor. Been doing it for years now, always work!
I watch all your videos and have been a subscriber for 5 years now I think I grew up watching your videos and ive learned so much from you thanks shane keep it up
I managed to make my now 1 year old gloves last WAY longer by buying anti-moisture packets that I put in everyday after training. After the first set lost it's power, I added another one. I'm currently on 3 per glove. Still does the trick. AND mixed with window breathing post-workout too. My main issue is my gloves breaking apart from heavy bag work. Duct tape is saving that one... for now.
I’m living in a tropical climate and am super sweaty, so trying to dry out the inside of the glove is key - to limit bacteria growth. I’ve been using old newspaper scrunched up inside the glove for a few hours / overnight - and sometimes supplementing this with an hour or two in a shaded spot outside (paper removed) - direct sunlight will crack the leather. Touch wood - this has kept two pairs of gloves stink free after months of regular use. Also I don’t recycle wraps that haven’t been washed. Plus I’ve been soaking all clothing including wraps in a bucket of water with a cup of white vinegar (you can get cheap synthetic vinegar in most supermarkets) for a couple of hours before going in the washing machine. This keeps good quality “technical” fabrics from getting funky.
Thanks for this tip. I've been watching some of your videos and I like the way you dispel certain fighting myths, but I particularly like this video because it has solved a long standing problem for me...stinky gloves. Thanks once again, I think I'll use the tea bags since I can't really get dry wipes this side of the world. Cheers!
Shane, you are one person that I look up to the most. I'm only 16 but I'll be doing ammature MMA soon and I'll be giving you and FightTips a huge shotout every shot I get. Without you or your channel, I wouldn't be the person I am today and I want you to know that I appreciate every video you put out.
How’s the amateur mma? Did you start yet?
Are you champ yet
Aight bro how is your first fight I am 13 and already practicing boxing and I fought my friend and win although he is stronger then me
Can u even compete MMA under 18??
ARE YA WINNING SON?
Damn you really are wawa... posting every kind of content I need. Much love bro
This video couldn't have come at a better time, just bought some new venum gloves, thanks for the tips Shane 🥊🥊
I also keep Silica packets in my gear bag. They are those little packets of clear pellets that usually come with clothes or packages. Silica is one of the most water absorbent materials so keeping them in your gear bag helps keep everything dry.
I do the same thing! Not sure how well they work, but why not
To clean up my boxing gloves, I know washing machine is a bad idea, which is why I always hand-wash them. Have had them for a month now. They've only gotten tighter and tighter around my hands I LOVE IT!
Thank you for the video, though. Super helpful.
for you guys saying that there is still odor, what i do after airing the gloves out, i get a bar of antibacterial soap, cut it in half and place each half inside the gloves and leave them there until i use the gloves again. try it.
Question can I leave my gloves in my room with no fan or any other room during winter or do i still have to put it in front of fan for the time being cause I might not leave them on the porch to get vented if it a bad winter sea
god bless you shane , your videos are always helpful in anything related to martial arts. thank you
those gloves look so clean and smooth idk why i love it so much 🥹

I loosely stuff the inside of my gloves with newspaper. it helps absorb moisture and keeps air flow. I've also used dryer sheets, just for the scent.
just found my new favorite channel
Just this Thursday there was a stench and people were complaining about dirty wraps...this is a brilliant vid
For wraps just open them up and hang them to dry on a washing line or in the shed
I started propping my gloves open in front of a mini fan after I train, it greatly expedites the drying process
I'm currently using teabags and they are soooo good, I'm using them for my shoes too.
My gloves are rancid. Never thought to wash them for some reason. Definitely will do
So I’ve been trying this since the video was posted and it worked. Thanks Shane!
Tx my boy Shane with the great tips
Awesome vid on gear maintenance! I was wondering if you could do a video on incorporating strikes with jiu jitsu?
Man, I love you!! I was looking for a tutorial on this
I use one beg of vanilla sugar for each glove. It really helps with the smell and keeps them dry.
I started putting mine on a boot dryer after I bought them. Sometimes I spray the insides with Odo-ban, and then place them on the dryer. This has helped keep bad odor at bay. The boot dryer is key.
I wish I’ve searched this before leaving my gloves in my bag for maybe over half a year
How can I clean/disinfect/wash/soak my used old glove that’s been in the store room for almost 2 years?
Great video Shane glad u made this now I know what to do after hitting the heavybag
But the stinky smell build character lol
xXcashXx3 and destroys nerve receptors
can’t say you’re wrong
Get the fuck out lol
At my Dojo we have a lot of gloves that have been used for 6 to 8 years without getting a proper cleaning. They completely stink and now we're trying to find a way to give them a thorough cleaning. Most of them are like plastic/vynil gloves. I was wondering if soaking them in salt water or cleaning them with vinegar mixed with water would be a good way of cleaning them. I even thought of putting some talcum powder inside of them or sprinkling them with alcohol or essential oils. Any thoughts?
Shane read my mind! I was about to comment this on your last vid, then this comes up from the notifications! Also do a How to Clean headgear(I have no idea how to clean mine, all I do is airdry)
I clean my gloves, shinguards every night. I spray disinfectant in my gloves and wipe the insides with disinfectant wipes. I use a wash machine for my hand wraps and shin guards. btw I love your channel. you forgot to make a video on how to clean hand wipes.
Your shinguards? I'm actually going to throw them in there now. I don't have those fluffy, soft ones but the ones that are a bit sturdier.
Disinfectant? That is what made my gloves crack and break :(
I like how Sean bought the old outro back
Just bought my first boxing gloves earlier this day, thanks!
thanks shane.. and thanks also for the idea of a dog with a gloves..i do have a lot of dogs and i was thinking abot a photoshoot with the gloves and sandbag all in 1 photo. 😂😂😂
I am not sure what are dryer sheets as I've not seen them before. But however, I use both glove deodorisers and mini charcoal packs from the Japanese home product shops. They are supposedly helpful in getting rid of odours.
Is it nice to use silica gel by putting it inside the gloves to help it dry?
Also a body powder or a baby powder to fight stinky odour?
Great tutorial Shane as always I needed this tutorial 👍
Perfect, glad I could help!
Could you use shoe deodorizer spray ? I have been using that , I wish there was a spray especially for gloves
I use shoe deodorizer balls and a mesh cinch bag with cedar wood chips in it to absorb the moisture and smells. Thanks for the washing tips!!
Thanks for the help! Love your videos
I've boxed for almost 12 years now I can say he's spot on. Cleaning your equipment is important. Personally I do not use essential oils, I used them once but Kenny still died after eating a bottle I gave him. Turns out you aren't supposed to eat the bottle itself. Better luck next time.
watched so many of his videos i feel like i know the dude. You're alright Shane. You're alright.
I had a ringworm infection and was using my gear while I was unaware I’m now not sure how to clean the glove to completely eradicate the infection as I would hate for my team mates to get an infection because of my irresponsibility. Any recommendations??
Will you re-stock the lace ups or is that the best only batch you plan on ordering
Your videos are great help me alot with my kickboxing
What's good Shane speaking about gloves I'm still patiently waiting for MMA Boxing gloves when will you have them in stock.
Peace and blessings! Great tips.
How do we clean leather headgear? Ive heard "throw it in the washing machine", but I'm not sure about that lol.
Any tips or videos?
Thanks,
Sekou
I recently bought a nice used pair of Rival RB10 bag gloves at a thrift store. They smell really bad from whoever used before. I really want to wash them out and not just deodorize them. Would it work to take them to a dry cleaner?
How often should i dry them with air + sunlight and how often should i clean them with vinegar solution or soapy water
My boxing gloves are tearing apart! I’m assuming is because of the moisture I left them in the bag. But it’s only one of them that’s tearing, any suggestions ??? Just bought them a few months ago and have never used them. Should I tape it ?!
I was just about to google this, thank you kindly! :)
My coach taught me to put crumbled newspaper in my gloves years ago. My old gloves have never smelled bad.
Make one for Shin Guards ASAP
I like to wipe down my shin guards after use with disinfectant wipes or like the spray. Then if it builds up soak a rag and get in there. I think shin guards are much more durable than gloves. Store with tea bags or the little dry packets.
It's same thing
2:14 is what you guys came for thank me later
One of my gloves was left in the rain,, now its much heavier than the counterpart despite 3 days in the sun, are they ruined?
To clean my gloves I mix mint alcohol, water, and essential oil mixed together
Thanks for sharing, Dakota! Sounds like a great mixture to clean and help with scent.
Are you also restocking on the velcro and mma gloves as well?
I needed this so badly ❤
What is a drier sheet? what's in it? Need help to get rid of my son's gloves
I use activated charcoal bags (shoe deodorizers) sold on Amazon. Have worked great so far!
What about shin guards do we clean them as we do like with boxing gloves?
Haha aye thats whats up I was wondering if you had a video on this topic I've used tide pod fluids to wash wraps and clean gloves its ok, but alternatives were needed thanks homie for the vid.✌👊
Been waiting for this mine stink, thanks Shane
Can I spray fabreeze in my glove for the smell
I was desperate for this video in my life!!!
I gotcha, Smokey!
Can synthetic leather gloves be machine washed? Curious about this because one would think that being synthetic they wouldn’t be affected as much.
I've just started kickboxing. Can you put gloves into a washing machine, or is that a bad idea?
I haven't tried it but it popped into my mind from teabags.. to take out access moisture we could wrap a fistfull of rice in gauze and leave em in there to eliminate some of the moisture.
Thank you so much i was having trouble with the smell of my boxing gloves after practice I went through a few gloves already cause of the smell, thanks bro🙏🏻
Damn that sucks. I got Cleto Reyes gloves a year ago and they don't smell at all, in fact they still smell a little new (that reyes leather smell). I don't even whip down the gloves after use, just throw them into a corner with velcro open.
I'd assume it's the quality of the gloves too because I had some 20$ ringside gloves that smelled after 3 months after using it (threw them out cause the stuffing was coming out). Also my shin pads smell pretty bad too, but since nobody's smelling my legs no harm done. So it could be the quality, assuming you're doing the basics (not leaving it in gym bag, wiping it down after use, drying) which to be honest is common sense.
I think I might get some cause mine are always everlast but the only ones that stink up are these the training ones the ones for sparing and fighting with the laces don’t really stink up
That’s cool man almost a year and they haven’t gotten all smelly
Finally my gloves can smell good at first I thought putting them in water would help but I never did it
I like the dryer sheet idea
Thank you needed that lol my gloves are stinking most of the time
I occasionally put baking soda in them, shake them up a bit and let them sit over night or for a few days with the open part on top
Then I shake the baking soda out and clean with a damp soapy towel
I use baby wipes for regular cleaning
Tea bags are really helpful when it comes to shoes... but never tried them in boxing gloves
I'm trying to get into the habit of using the gyms blowdryer/hairdryer or even the electric hand dryers to get dry them out a bit more (after using a towel). Then I'll leave a dryer sheet in each glove
Wow, that video really help me. and also I learn something new.
Can we have some more videos on counter punching?
someone pls help, someone drew on my boxing gloves and now i cant get it off, can someone help
I'm personally a fan of baby powder in a paper towel and fold it so it doesn't fall out and use your hand to stuff it deep into the glove long fold style. Absorbs moisture and keeps it smelling good. Gold bond foot powder works too
Hi there Shane! Are you going to ship those gloves to Europe?
I literally needed this rn
Do white colour gloves get dirty quicker than black ones?
Thank you, I am going to buy a new gloves and clean it up
I using coffee beans filled in unused socks get rid the odor, am I doing right?
Can you post another video of you shadowboxing in dutch kickboxing styles
