How to keep your wrestling singlet looking like new for longer – care tips for training & competition
A wrestling singlet has to withstand a lot in training and competition. To make sure it not only lasts a long time but also looks good, proper care is essential. In this article, we answer the most common questions about caring for wrestling singlets.
How do I wash my wrestling singlet properly?
Wrestling singlets like our Phantom singlet are made from high-quality materials such as polyester-spandex – these are elastic, durable, and quick-drying. To keep your singlet’s fit and color intensity for as long as possible, please note the following:
- Wash at a maximum of 30 °C on a gentle cycle
- Do not use fabric softener – it attacks the elastic fibers
- Turn inside out to protect the design
- Use a fine laundry bag to minimize friction
Can I put my wrestling singlet in the dryer?
No. Wrestling singlets should be air-dried. The dryer can overheat the material and damage its elasticity. Simply hang up your singlet after washing – ideally in a shaded place, not in direct sunlight.
How often should you wash a wrestling singlet?
Best after every use. Sweat residue can damage the material over time and cause unpleasant odors. A regular wash after every training session or competition ensures hygiene and durability.
What should I do about stubborn stains or odors?
If your wrestling singlet gets heavier dirt on it (e.g. blood, resin, or mat residue), we recommend:
- Soaking in cold water with a little mild detergent
- Optional: a pinch of baking soda against odors
- Never bleach or rub! This can damage the sublimation print
How do I store my wrestling singlet properly?
Do not store your singlet damp or crumpled in your sports bag. An airy place in the closet or a clean singlet bag is best. This helps you avoid mildew stains and deformation.
