How Often Should You Wash A BJJ Gi?
Share
The answer is simple: after every training session.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a close-contact sport, and maintaining clean equipment is important for both hygiene and respect towards training partners.
Why Washing Matters
Sweat, bacteria and mat exposure all accumulate during training. Leaving a Gi unwashed can cause unpleasant odours and shorten the garment's lifespan.
Best Washing Practices
- Wash after every session
- Use a cold or cool cycle
- Avoid bleach
- Air dry whenever possible
- Follow manufacturer care instructions
Proper care helps maintain fit, durability and appearance.
