Many MANY times I have been asked how my gloves stay clean and do not smell bad at all or why my gloves seem like they never fall apart. Simple answer! I clean them using these methods! I swear by these methods because they have prolonged my gear's life for years! I have been using this technique since the age of 12 and I even have gloves that survived from that age on. 10 years later, I still have some gloves that are ready to be used and still look new! Follow these steps and see how I keep my gloves and equipment clean and looking new!

[@beetlebongus4659]

I started training muay thai a couple weeks ago and my own gear just came in today. I've been looking for videos on gear maintenance and how to keep the smell out and this was by far the most helpful, you explained everything well and clear. Thank you!!

Lysol drys leather. Proofide is the best leather conditioner I have found.

Spit shine boxing gloves? I wouldn’t want to spar those guy’s 😂.

Lol

Great video, chose this one to watch after I saw your collection and interest

[@jaythemachine3845]

Cheap boot dryer from Amazon and a disinfectant spray can. That’s all I use and works great!.

[@a.i.9118]

Thank you so much ! I didn’t know how to do it, you are the best !

I have +15 year old twins gloves that are still in pretty good shape but dry stuff keeps appearing on the inside, perhaps the insides are breaking into dust due to old age, Ive tried hoovering and wiping them out but can't seem to get rid of it all.

[@rdvgrd6]

Do you recommend doing this after every training session? or like every week? (mainly genuine leather gloves) thanks

[@LouieRgz]

Do it at least twice a week if you train 4-5 days. If you train all week I’d say every other day.

[@ingingingingingingin]

Thank you for the info brother , great video 🙏🏼

Good work brother!

I have a pair of cleto reyes. Can i clean them inside and out with antibacterial wipes (CIF/ Clorox)? I get rid of germs first then after I apply vaseline or leather conditioner on the outside. Let me know if you think it is okay

[@lldmapolinarquistianzamora1777]

Hey! I just bought some cleto Reyes! You use the leather gel on your clero Reyes too?

[@bens9450]

So for gloves made of polyurethane leather we should do this? 1. Dry off gear with a cloth 2. Wipe down with a lyson wipe 3. spray lysol on velcro, deep inside glove, and any other cloth portions 4. place dryer sheet inside glove, close velcro My concern with #2 and #3 - won't the glove then be damp and still mix with residue sweat / bacteria that remains after doing #1? Thanks!

[@bigboiaim_]

Your concern makes sense but the use of the Lysol and other antibacterial wipes will eliminate the bacteria, thus after step 1 anything that’s left bacteria wise will be killed with/by the wipes and Lysol. Also by leaving it open and letting it air dry will create the opposite environment that bacteria usually thrive in so.

[@timm285]

First! Good video. I’m going to start doing this. Thanks.

[@combat_corp]

I hope it works out for you like it has for me!

[@stephanodr.hurricane3476]

What about to use a „shoe dryer“? I wipe my gloves with desinfect wet towels, then put it on the shoe dryer for 15minutes. Also good for leather or not?

[@isaiahvelasquez8315]

Great video very helpful greatly appreciated👍🏾

[@peejuu]

Non alcoholic baby wipes some tube socks febreeze and if you have some spare hand lotion Shea butter does the trick for me I've done this on Twins Reyes Rivals Winnings Isami Venum and Torres Medina gloves which range from genuine leather to synthetic even composite leather. Cold water and baby soap also with a hand towel to wipe the gloves down if it's dirtier than usual. And yes metallic leather is the worse to clean.

[@adammendez9071]

And another question I have is if you can clean them with Clorox disinfecting wipes

[@combat_corp]

I have done that and it seems to keep them just fine!

[@adammendez9071]

Could you clean the genuine leather ones with the leather care wipes and leather care gell only

[@combat_corp]

Absolutely! I just like killing the germs for risk of ringworm and staph infection!

@@combat_corp I have a pair of cleto reyes. Can i clean them inside and out with antibacterial wipes (CIF/ Clorox)? I get rid of germs first then after I apply vaseline or leather conditioner on the outside. Let me know if you think it is okay. How often do you have to moisturize them? Like once a week or after each training session

[@timm285]

How come you didn’t wipe down the inside of the glove where the hands are?

[@combat_corp]

The spray takes care of the inside of the glove! But you can wipe it down if you'd like

[@panzerkampfwagenv1173]

@@combat_corp should the inside of glove be dry before i use spray or clean it with wipes?

[@sedjrkix]

Yo what's up man nice video! Was wondering if theres anything different you do to keep the Reyes screen printed logo from fading? Does it matter if the lysol wipes go over it?

[@combat_corp]

See that is a mixed answer! Lysol won't bother the logo at least with my experience but the logo for most people is a hit and miss unfortunately! Sometimes it fades and sometimes it don't!

[@sedjrkix]

@@combat_corp awesome thank you still! I'll do it anyway haha

[@martinmorris6271]

I have the T3 gloves Hyabusa recommended to me to wipe with damp cloth every use. And few times a month use water and rubbing alcohol mixed in spray bottle to clean inside of gloves. But you say it is a disservice why would they say that and why do all manufactures of gloves have different recommended maintenance?

[@LouisLuzuka]

So helpful

[@cuikemoi7227]

How do you preserved the cleto logo tho. , its so easy to get peeeld off

[@combat_corp]

See I get asked that all the time and I have never put too much thought into it unfortunately. I'd like to think its because I clean the leather under it but I don't know

[@jkstingss]

After doing this, how long do I have to wait until I train with them?

[@combat_corp]

Just saw your insta message! Hope that reaponse helped. I usually wait for the glove to completely dry before using them again!

[@saikik.6534]

So do I wait a day after usage to clean the glove?

[@combat_corp]

Nope! Wait for them to be dry! That could take up to an hour or so!

[@jamescalford9577]

What happens when the metallic finish comes off does it effect the gloves functionality at all ?

[@combat_corp]

Very good question! The answer is no. The leather underneath itself was painted by the metallic finish so the leather will work fine. It will just look dull and drab compared to before!

[@SLICK6014]

can i use petroleum jelly to condition the leather?

[@WhoDaF0ok1sThatGuy]

Would it be fine if I were to just use disinfectant wipes instead of the leather wipes for leather? I have a pair of synthetic leather gloves, they’re the Powerlock. But I’m asking about the leather because I have a pair of Cleto and am about to get a pair of winning like gloves that are leather. I don’t have leather wipes so I really want to know, will it mess it up or is it fine to use

Winning gloves are guinuine leather so just do the same as you would with Cleto Reyes, Grant, etc
