Knee Guards - Wash & Care

Step 1 - Prep

• Undo all strap and buttons
• Shake off any surface dirt
• Wipe clean with a damp microfiber cloth
• Use a soft brush if required

 

Step 2 - Which Detergent?

Use (in order of preference)

• Purpose-made tech-wash
• Neutral unscented liquid detergent
• Woolen liquid detergent
• Baby shampoo

Completely Avoid

• Any type of granular powder detergent
• Any type of heavily scented liquid detergent

 

Step 3 - Soak

• Dissolve 1 cap of detergent in bucket of water, per pair of knee guards
• Soak for at least 30 minutes
• Avoid hot water. Test with your fingers first. If it’s too hot for your fingers, it's too hot for your gear.

 

Step 4 - Wash and Rinse

• Agitate and scrub with your hands
• Focus on spots with grease and grime
• Repeat until clean
• Rinse multiple times until free of detergent
• Avoid using hard, abrasive brushes. Use a soft brush if required

 

Step 5 – Let Dry and Store

• Place the knee guards vertically or put them on a hanger in a cool ventilated shaded area
• Once dry, store in a cool, ventilated moisture-free place, away from house-dust
• Do not wring. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Do not bleach. Do not expose knee guards to direct sunlight while drying.
