Proper care of your RollBliss gi and no-gi apparel is essential to maintain their quality and longevity. Here are the recommended washing and drying instructions:
Gi Care Instructions:
• Washing:
• Turn your gi inside out to protect any embroidery.
• Wash in cold water using a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the fabric and weaken stitching.
• Drying:
• Hang dry your gi to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric’s integrity.
• Avoid using a dryer, as high heat can cause significant shrinkage and damage the gi’s fibers.
No-Gi Apparel Care Instructions (Rash Guards and Shorts):
• Before Washing:
• Rinse your gear with cold water immediately after training to remove sweat and reduce odors.
• Washing:
• Wash separately or with similar synthetic fabrics to avoid damage caused by zippers, velcro, or rough textures.
• Use lukewarm water (avoid hot water as it can degrade elasticity).
• Use a gentle, sports-specific detergent to preserve the anti-odor and moisture-wicking properties.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can break down the fabric and coatings.
• Drying:
• Always air dry your no-gi apparel. Lay flat or hang dry to avoid stretching the fabric.
• Do not use a dryer, as the heat can weaken the elasticity and reduce the lifespan of your gear.
• Additional Tips:
• Wash your rash guards and shorts after every use to prevent bacteria and odor buildup.
• Turn rash guards inside out before washing to protect logos or designs.
• Avoid leaving no-gi gear in a gym bag for extended periods to prevent odor and mold growth.
These steps will help keep your no-gi gear durable, fresh, and functional for many training sessions to come!
