How To Wash A BJJ Rashguard

A good BJJ rashguard takes a lot of punishment. It deals with sweat, friction, mat contact and regular washing, so proper care makes a big difference to how long it lasts.

The most important rule is simple: wash your rashguard after every training session. BJJ is a close-contact sport, and leaving sweaty kit in your bag can quickly lead to odours and fabric damage.

How To Wash Your Rashguard

Turn the rashguard inside out before washing. This helps protect the printed design and reduces wear on the outer surface. Use a cool or low-temperature wash with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener or harsh stain removers, as these can affect the stretch and feel of the material.

Wash it with similar colours and avoid mixing it with rough items such as towels, Velcro straps or heavy training gear.

How To Dry Your Rashguard

Air drying is best. Hang it up in a well-ventilated area and avoid placing it directly on a radiator or using a tumble dryer. High heat can damage the fibres and reduce the life of the garment.

Looking after your rashguard properly keeps it fresher, sharper and ready for every round on the mats.
