Glove Care Guide

Proper care can help maintain the comfort, appearance, and condition of your Fiest Gloves USA boxing gloves. Boxing gloves are regularly exposed to sweat and moisture, so cleaning and drying them correctly after training is important.

After Every Training Session

After using your gloves:

Remove them from your gym bag as soon as possible.
Open the wrist straps fully to improve airflow.
Wipe the exterior with a clean, soft cloth.
Wipe accessible interior areas with a clean, dry cloth.
Allow the gloves to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.

Avoid leaving sweaty gloves inside a closed gym bag for extended periods.

How to Clean Your Boxing Gloves

For routine exterior cleaning:

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Gently wipe away sweat, dirt, and surface residue.
Avoid soaking the gloves with water.
Allow them to air dry completely before storing or using them again.

For leather gloves, use only a cleaner specifically suitable for the leather type stated on the product page. Test any cleaning product on a small, less-visible area first.

Keep the Inside Dry

Moisture trapped inside boxing gloves can contribute to unpleasant odors and deterioration over time.

After training, open your gloves and place them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

You may use suitable glove-drying inserts or moisture-absorbing products, provided they do not damage the lining or leave harmful residue.

Avoid Direct Heat

Never attempt to speed up drying by placing your gloves:

In a clothes dryer
On a radiator or heater
Directly in front of high heat
Under prolonged strong sunlight
Near an open flame

Excessive heat may damage leather, synthetic materials, adhesives, padding, or other components.

Leather Glove Care

If your specific gloves are made from leather, occasional conditioning may help maintain the material.

Use a leather conditioner suitable for the specific leather type, following the product manufacturer's instructions.

Apply a small amount first and avoid excessive conditioning.

Always check the individual product description because materials can vary between Fiest Gloves USA glove models.

Preventing Odor

To help keep your gloves fresh:

Wear clean hand wraps during training.
Wash your hand wraps regularly.
Air out your gloves immediately after use.
Never store wet gloves in a sealed bag.
Allow gloves to dry completely between training sessions.
Keep your gym bag clean and dry.

Proper Storage

Once completely dry, store your boxing gloves in a cool, dry, ventilated location.

Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive humidity, direct sunlight, or high temperatures.

Do not place heavy objects on top of your gloves, as this may affect their shape and padding.

What Not to Do

To help protect your gloves:

Do not machine wash.
Do not tumble dry.
Do not soak in water.
Do not use bleach or harsh household chemicals.
Do not expose to excessive heat.
Do not store while wet or heavily damp.

Unless the specific product care instructions explicitly state otherwise.

Before Your Next Training Session

Make sure your gloves are completely dry and in suitable condition before using them again.

Regularly inspect the stitching, closure, exterior material, lining, and padding. If your gloves show significant damage that could affect safe use, stop using them until you can determine whether replacement is appropriate.
