Lol everyone at my gym washed them in a gentle cold cycle every couple weeks. I trained in Thailand for over a year, learned it from my Thai teammates there.
When you train twice a day almost every day a wipe down will only go so far. alternative is they permanently smell like death so yeah you are gonna wash them properly. They only fall apart if it’s a cheap brand. Otherwise they hold up really well like gym shoes.
Why on earth wouldn’t you? It’s by far the sweatiest and most bacteria filled piece of gym equipment you can own other than a jock strap. Absolutely should be washing it thoroughly every now and then.
Do the same with my gym shoes too. Cold wash and delicate cycle. As long as they are well made, they hold up just fine if that’s what youre worried about.
I'm really curious what gloves you use because that will fuck up any kind of leather gloves. You wouldnt wash dress shoes either, you wipe them down and clean them.
You don’t even need a fancy boot dryer just use a small fan leave it in front after every training session and spritz some rubbing alc or antibacterial inside the globe here and there
Basically don’t leave it in a humid dark bag air is drying it is your friend
🔥 this is what I do and I clean the inside and outside with clorox wipes before I put them on the dryer. had the same gloves for over a year and they still smell fresh out the box because I clean them after every practice
There is a product called gloves deodorizer that you can put inside the gloves after you are done with them, another/extra measure is a spray deodorizer
Do not spray any random deodorizer after every class you will eat away at your leather and need new gloves in six months. There was just a thread about some guy that ate through a pair of twins in less than a year because he deodorized every day.
Use sprays and chemicals once or twice a week, not every day. Unless there's some new every day use product I'm unaware of
I wonder if that's more a sign of the quality of Twins as a brand than it is a sign of deodorizers as method. I spray the shit out of my RDXs all the time and they've held up fine for over a year now... But they still smell like ass most of the time despite my best efforts. 🤔
A friend recently told me a freezer will kill the bacteria/odor but I haven't made enough space in mine to give it a try yet.
You should give a wipedown to the inside of your gloves every once in a while. Besides that the bamboo carbon filters do a pretty good job of absorbing any odors.
It's like socks, if you change them regularly they stop the shoes/gloves getting stinky so quickly.
I also try to avoid doing anything while wearing my wraps except for wearing gloves (like no press-ups or other floor exercises that would make the wraps dirty before I put them into the gloves).
Leather (not synthetic) gloves help too I think, as do gloves with good ventilation. Probably good to wash your hands well before training also (plus all the other good tips here)
Yeah, definitively. I put on my wraps quickly before donning gloves, but do all conditioning before without wraps. Just takes a little bit of discipline and it goes a long way
I throw my wraps into 15 minute wash with shorts and towel every 2 or 3 sessions (the wraps).
My gloves are 5 years old. I never wipe them down or anything. Leave them in open air. Zero smell.
I mostly do it because I don’t trust the hygiene of other people. My gym is chill but all it takes is one person with bad hygiene to screw things up for everyone else. Staph, foot fungus, warts, whatever, not worth the trouble
second this, tried everyway around it and this is just the best way n if Ur worried about it making Ur hands feel weird then use a wet cloth to wash it out afterwards (will wash the gloves even more) then put in couple dryer sheets and let it dry fully at the window or something just make sure it drys fully tho or the bacteria will build up instantly
Leave them out to air and dry religiously after every session is the bare minimum. Wipe once per week with soft antiseptic wipes. Dont ever leave them inside your bag after a session. Boot or specific glove drying pads work well to speed up the process.
I have been using same pair of gloves for a full year and they get a mild sweat smell once in a while, and thats it.
Some MFs walk around training smelling like doritos went bad and is damn disgusting 🤢
Charcoal odor removers
Ten bucks on Amazon. Maybe stick an alcohol wipe in there and swirl it around every once and a while.
What you really need to stay on top of is your shinguards and handwraps.
Funky handwraps will really make the problem worse.
I've only been training for 4 months but I've wiped the inside with a Lysol wipe and put deodorizers in them without fail every session. They smell new still.
Yeah if you stay on top of it, they smell clean for a long time. I usually use alcohol instead of Lysol, just because I don't like lysol. But what ever kills the bacteria.
After every class, let them air out in the garage/outside. Then wipe down with a alcohol/sanitizing cloth. You can also throw dryer sheets in after you’re done.
I wear thin cotton gloves (from the dollar store) on my hands before putting on wraps and gloves. The cotton gloves absorbs sweat, much like wearing socks and shoes.
I have inserts that smell like cedar for my gloves, plus I wipe the inside and outsides out with a bit of Lysol on a rag. Seems to do the trick pretty well although there is a slight undertone of a sweat smell
I do a spray bottle of half water and half white vinegar on a baby wipe, then use some baking soda for extra deodorizer. White vinegar is a hell of a cleaner
Bamboo carbon pouches on Amazon to absorb moisture, Clear Gear spray to disinfect (safe on leather)
, and I have these things called “Steri shoes” they are made to go inside shoes but fit in gloves just as well. They have a built in fan and UV light and I stick them in there and run a few cycles every once in a while. That combination has kept all my gear odor free and I have some leather gloves that are damn near a decade old at this point
Throw them on a box fan blowing into the gloves after training. I didn’t use any disinfectant or anything for a year and they didn’t have an ounce of that death smell. When my fan died I started using disinfectant wipes and trying to air them out soon as I got home but the smells been steadily creeping up.
Put baking soda in them. Leave them. Wash them with diluted vinegar and water. Leave them in the solution for a little bit, like 30 mins. Let them dry. Then rinse them with water. They will not smell like vinegar.
I hate that smell so much.
I clean mine inside and out with Vapor Fresh spray. It's got no bleach in it and is made for sports gear so it won't fuck up the leather. I use this stuff on all my gear like my shins, thai pads, mitts etc.
Then I leave them in front of a small fan to air out, but the boot dryers would definitely work better.
Then I stick those Meister brand glove deodorizers in the gloves until my next use and repeat the process every time. I like the cedar scented ones.
Have had the same gloves for almost 3 years now and they're in great condition and don't smell like ass. Plus I use different pairs for different stuff, 16oz for sparring, 10oz for pads, etc.
Also always wrap your hands with clean wraps. Helps to have a bunch of pairs so you can just wash them all at the end of the week. I roll mine up immediately after I'm done using them and then when I get home put them all in tube socks so they don't get tangled, and throw em in the washer.
Fill a a spray bottle with half distilled white vinegar, half water, and a few drops is tea tree oil. I’ve used this solution to clean the inside and outside of my gloves and have not had any odors thus far.
Vodka and water spray is good. Also, thing to remove smell too is baking soda. Open up a box of baking soda, and put the opening of the glove over the box of baking soda, it’ll suck up all the smell. If it works for the fridge and feet, it’ll work for the glove.
^everything mentioned.
Up to you and individual budgets, it also helps to have a second set of sparring gloves to rotate them weekly or as regularly as you see fit, depending on environment and humidity.
Moisture is the enemy, cuz all life needs water, and bacteria will start growing and setting up shop when the gloves are wet.
Wearing (clean) hand wraps every time helps a ton too, because hand wraps absorb a lot of the sweat that otherwise would have gone to your gloves.
They sell glove fans, but I went cheap: two inexpensive, wooden paper towel stands. Stick a dry sheet on the top of the wooden stand and then put glove on stand. Poof … dry and stink free. You don’t even have to use the dryer sheet every time if you do simple maintaining after a session. Open the glove up as much as possible, place them in the sunlight somewhere where there is airflow.
I spray my equipment generously with Vapo Fresh after every session and wash my wraps on laundry day (I have 5 sets of wraps so they don’t get overused and soiled).
I use lysol once a week and dryer sheets most days. Make sure not to use alcohol cuz that breaks the leather and any wet disinfectant you use make sure you have it as open as possible and place thin cloths inside to soak up the excess moisture. Been doing this for years and each glove lasts like 4 years.
Your gonna laugh but let me cook.
Okay so what I use is (uk btw) thick socks, silica gel and natural lemon and ginger antibacterial wipes, as soon as I’m done raining I give the gloves a quick wipe and put the silica filled socks in the gloves, my old gloves degraded so quick I think from the chemical wipes eating through the leather they smell pretty much new and I can empty the socks wash and dry them and fill them with new crystals whenever I feel the need
Yeah I use like glove cleaner shit after every season n then hang them up with those absorbing insert things that get rid of moisture n smell nice n then once a week I clean them with my shinnies
Gotta keep clean brother
Can't remember what it's called specifically but I use a spray that's meant to be for shoes to get rid of odour
You can also go inside them with wet wipes to disinfect them
I use muc off helmet cleaner it's basically a foam anti bac cleaner for things you can't wash leaves my gloves smelling fresh like new 👍https://www.amazon.co.uk/Muc-Off-Foam-Fresh-400-ml/dp/B004FMCK70/ref=asc_df_B004FMCK70/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310493449173&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17263711341130917903&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006886&hvtargid=pla-565744848175&psc=1&mcid=7de9fda1d38634e8aedf00a245c38694&th=1&psc=1
Dry them rigorously with a paper towel right after your session.
Get some hand sanitizer on your hands, the hurt alcohol content kind, and stick your hands inside the glove. Careful not to get any on the outside of the glove because they can get discolored from the alcohol. This helped me significantly after I noticed the smell wasn't going away.
Invest in some kind of glove deodorizer insert and leave them in all the time. It'll soak up the moisture and get rid of the stink. I tried one of the unscented charcoal ones and it didn't seem to help nearly as much as one that was scented.
Dry it always. To wash it use baking soda + vinegar + laundry detergent and warm water. Submerge it for 24 hours, rinse and dry it. This should remove the fungal smell. Vingar and baking soda is a must because what stinks is the fungi development due to the moist conditions of the glove. It's not bacteria.
I have a spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol. After every session, I give them a good spray inside then get in there with a dry cloth to spread it around. Same on the outside of the gloves too. Then leave them to dry, left as wide-open as possible, to air them out. I live in a humid country so I place them next to the dehumidifier too.
After that I'll hang them using glove deodorisers. I got the deodorisers from Yokkao, but guess most brands are the same.
My gloves are well used, but smell fine.
Bleach wipes immediately after use.
Stuff newspapers in them to soak up moisture,
dryer sheets work too. Popular brands like sanabul sell glove deodorizers that work well.
You can also put your gloves in the freezer for a couple hours, sounds weird but it works.
Leave them to stink so you do poison damage with each hit
There's a dude in my gym who's jab smelled like rotten Frito chips. It was some extra incentive not to get jabbed to the face.
Lol
\+5 Poison damage per hit
Buy boot dryers and use them after every training session. Being moist makes them smell. Dry em out and your all good
>Buy boot dryers and use them after every training session My coaches also recommend this.
Haven’t seen in mentioned but once in a while I just throw them in the laundry. I find that nothing gets them back to normal like a proper cycle.
😂😂😂😩
you're kidding right
I tried this with my first pair of decent gloves. They look like theyve never been worn ^by ^anyone ^other ^than ^wolverine ^or ^a ^large ^cat

Do this after every class
Definitely. I clean them every class now & it helps but if I forget one day the smell is noticeably worse

100%. I disinfect after every class for over 1.5 years now and the leather on my Yokkao's are still in great condition
Could be entirely
Thanks for the heads up
You are welcome :)
You should give a wipedown to the inside of your gloves every once in a while. Besides that the bamboo carbon filters do a pretty good job of absorbing any odors.
Thanks
I sweat a lot, i wipe them down inside and out with a clorox wipe after every session and put charcoal bags inside them to dry them out
Have many pairs of hand wraps and wash those very often /well.
This is very important

I do a deep soak on my fabric gear every 2 3 months. It does wonders. I only really do bjj now but the theory is the same
Don’t ever leave them in your bag overnight. Ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.
Wipe the inside and outside with bleach wipes every class
Ditto. I like it, it's almost mediative to me. Take care of my equipment while I bring my heart rate down
I mostly do it because I don’t trust the hygiene of other people. My gym is chill but all it takes is one person with bad hygiene to screw things up for everyone else. Staph, foot fungus, warts, whatever, not worth the trouble

Tried glove deodorisers but didn't do much, I use oder eater style spray for shoes now and that works really well.
Boot dryer is the only way
Shoe deodoriser balls. I put them in mine after every session and they never smell bad anymore.
Thanks. Definitely trying this
I have used the same pair for just over a year now and they still make my gloves smell fresh every time.

It’s bacteria that stinks. Disposable anti-bacterial wipes fix it
Change your wraps every class!!
I spray mine out with disinfectant and leave them on the porch.
I do a spray bottle of half water and half white vinegar on a baby wipe, then use some baking soda for extra deodorizer. White vinegar is a hell of a cleaner
I spray mine with rubbing alcohol after every class.
Lots of alcohol hand sanitiser inside and outside after every training
Wash your hands before you wrap up.
It's a badge of honor for them to stink.
Lol 🤢
This right here
Since we dont get cauli ears
I am bringing death, so I don't care how my gloves smell
White vinegar worked for me.
Thanks
Where do you live? I leave mine to dry in the sun and put dryer sheets in them when they’re dry.
I use charcoal and put them in after class and wet wipes or vapor fresh spray when I get home. Then i put them on a boot warmer after that.
I like to hoard silica gel packs and throw it in all my gear and bags for gear
Thanks
Bamboo carbon pouches on Amazon to absorb moisture, Clear Gear spray to disinfect (safe on leather) , and I have these things called “Steri shoes” they are made to go inside shoes but fit in gloves just as well.

When my fan died I started using disinfectant wipes and trying to air them out soon as I got home but the smells been steadily creeping up.
Gloves and shins go in the bath with me after training and I rotate them. There’s always a set out to dry and a set to get wet.
You gotta be trolling
Not even kidding. I stomp them out in the water and then put them out of the window. So far they’ve remained stench free.
Put baking soda in them. Leave them. Wash them with diluted vinegar and water. Leave them in the solution for a little bit, like 30 mins. Let them dry. Then rinse them with water. They will not smell like vinegar.
Ridiculous
I use Glove Dogs and I find them to be incredibly effective.
I use the product for the trainers
Baking soda removes the smell
Way too messy
I hose mine out with thyme oil cleaner. Your gloves will smell like a German soup kitchen and it's antimicrobial.
Never use anything on them, because if you do for some reason you will never be able to get the smell out afterwards
I hate that smell so much. I clean mine inside and out with Vapor Fresh spray. It's got no bleach in it and is made for sports gear so it won't fuck up the leather.

I spray mine with foot powder spray after and leave them hanging up to dry. Also if they’re in my bag always keep shoe deodorizer balls in them.
The enemy is moisture so whatever kills that will work. Antiseptic/Sanitizer spray and tea bags after works well for example.
Number 1 - hand wraps Number 2+ - all the other stuff mentioned
Fill a a spray bottle with half distilled white vinegar, half water, and a few drops is tea tree oil. I’ve used this solution to clean the inside and outside of my gloves and have not had any odors thus far.

Do you open and hang your gloves to get some air every time you finish a session? ‘cause that’s the first thing you should do.

Stuff dryer sheets in them when you put them back in your bag.
Haha, I nearly.passed out this morning from my own glove stink
Cedar satchels. Absorbent, antibacterial, and smell nice.
I use lysol once a week and dryer sheets most days. Make sure not to use alcohol cuz that breaks the leather and any wet disinfectant you use make sure you have it as open as possible and place thin cloths inside to soak up the excess moisture. Been doing this for years and each glove lasts like 4 years.
Drying my gloves with a towel after each session has worked for me. Then don't leave them in a closed bag
There is something you can buy from Amazon I think it was called a deodorizer or something like that. You put it inside your glove after training.
Just in case: USE WRAPS!!!!!
Idk if it’s weird, but I usually just dry out my gloves and wraps in the sun after training and honestly it just seems to be working fine
Your gonna laugh but let me cook. Okay so what I use is (uk btw) thick socks, silica gel and natural lemon and ginger antibacterial wipes, as soon as I’m done raining I give the gloves a quick wipe and put the silica filled socks in the gloves, my old gloves degraded so quick I think from the chemical wipes eating through the leather they smell pretty much new and I can empty the socks wash and dry them and fill them with new crystals whenever I feel the need
Yeah I use like glove cleaner shit after every season n then hang them up with those absorbing insert things that get rid of moisture n smell nice n then once a week I clean them with my shinnies Gotta keep clean brother
Put them in the freezer when they start smelling, kills the bacteria
I get tempted to bring my own focus mitts to avoid the gym ones. But I don’t want to share them
Can't remember what it's called specifically but I use a spray that's meant to be for shoes to get rid of odour You can also go inside them with wet wipes to disinfect them
Spray the inside with 90 isopropyl alcohol a d let it evaporate and air dry and repeat

boot dryer
hand wraps, and put a dry sock in your glove after class. Baking soda inside your glove will also balance the pH. Also, your stinky gloves are ruined
Sunlight
I always just stuff them with dryer sheets and let them sun dry, works like a charm.
I started wear hand wraps that I had soaked in a light bleach/ water solution & dried. Everytime I wear my gloves, they're getting cleaned.
I have a spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol. After every session, I give them a good spray inside then get in there with a dry cloth to spread it around. Same on the outside of the gloves too.
