What to do with used sports equipment

Basic Info
Fitness equipment is an important tool for us to exercise, but prolonged use will lead to the accumulation of dirt and sweat on the surface of the equipment, which not only affects the aesthetics, but also prone to breeding bacteria.
Clean fitness equipment should use professional cleaner, first of all, to wipe the surface of the equipment with a wet towel, then spray the appropriate amount of cleaner, wipe clean with a clean cloth, and finally wipe clean again with water to ensure that the surface of the equipment is dry. Before using the equipment, you should also prepare a towel to wipe the sweat in time to keep the equipment clean and hygienic.
Many people enjoy the pleasure of sweating profusely after exercise, but the heavy odor of sweat from the upcoming sports equipment may be very annoying. Don't be afraid, take a look at how to clean your sports equipment.

Classification and preprocessing

Firstly, classify sports equipment based on its material, color, and whether it has special coatings or decorations. For example, separate cotton clothing from synthetic fiber clothing, and separate light colored clothing from dark colored clothing to avoid mutual staining or damage. For severe sweat stains or stubborn stains, local pre-treatment can be performed first. You can use professional sports equipment cleaner or mild detergent to gently scrub the stain, and then rinse with clean water.

Cleaning steps

1. Soaking:

For cotton or easily faded clothing, a small amount of salt (about one spoonful) can be added to warm water to help fix the color and remove some sweat stains. For synthetic fiber clothing, a small amount of white vinegar (a few bottle caps) can be added to help remove odors and soften water quality. The soaking time is generally 10-20 minutes to avoid excessive deformation or fading of the clothing.

2. Hand washing or machine washing:

For fine or easily deformed sports equipment, hand washing is recommended. Use a mild detergent to gently scrub the stain, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Choose a gentle or sports equipment specific washing mode to avoid using hot water and strong spinning force. You can add laundry balls or laundry bags to the washing machine to reduce wear and tear on clothes.

3. Reverse cleaning:

Washing clothes by flipping them over can reduce surface wear and allow cleaning agents to come into contact with sweat and stains more thoroughly.

4. Rinsing and dehydration:

Ensure thorough rinsing to avoid detergent residue. Choose low-speed or gentle mode during dehydration to reduce pulling and deformation of the clothing.

Remove odors

1. Natural drying:

Hang the cleaned sports equipment in a well ventilated area to dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight that may cause fading. Natural drying can help reduce odors and extend the lifespan of clothing.

2. Use deodorant:

For odors that are difficult to remove, professional sports equipment deodorizers or homemade deodorizers (such as white vinegar, baking soda, etc.) can be used. Spray deodorizer inside clothing or shoes, let it sit for a moment, and then air dry.

3. Regular replacement:

Sports equipment is prone to bacterial growth and odor after prolonged use. Therefore, it is recommended to regularly replace new sports equipment to maintain personal hygiene and equipment performance.

Drying and maintenance

After cleaning, it is necessary to air dry or dry the sports equipment in a timely manner. For some special materials, such as leather, fluff, etc., special drying methods need to be used to avoid deformation or odor. Meanwhile, in order to maintain the elasticity and lifespan of sports equipment, appropriate maintenance is necessary. For example, regularly using maintenance products such as anti mold and anti-bacterial agents, waterproof agents, etc. to maintain sports equipment.

Precautions

Avoid using bleach or strong acid alkaline cleaners to prevent damage to clothing fibers and coatings. Before cleaning, check the washing instructions on the clothing label and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning. For sports equipment with electronic components or special materials (such as smartwatches, smart insoles, etc.), please clean and maintain according to the product manual.

In short, proper washing and maintenance of sports equipment can not only protect our health, but also extend the service life of sports equipment. Therefore, we should pay attention to daily cleaning and maintenance work to keep our sports equipment in the best condition at all times.
