How to Clean & Care for Your Gymnastics Grips – And Make Them Last Longer

Taking care of your gymnastics grips doesn’t just improve hygiene—it helps extend their life and maintain peak performance. 

  • 🧼 Brush off chalk after each use with a soft cloth or grip brush—this prevents buildup and keeps the surface clean.
  • 💧 Avoid soaking in water—moisture can weaken leather and warp the shape.
  • 🌬️ Air dry grips in a cool, dry place—never leave them in a closed gym bag.
  • 🧽 Wipe gently with a damp cloth for occasional deeper cleaning—skip harsh cleaners or chemicals.
  • 🔍 Inspect regularly for worn straps, loose stitching, or cracks to catch damage early.
  • 👜 Store flat in a breathable grip bag to maintain their shape and avoid odour.

With just a little daily care, your grips will stay durable, comfortable and ready for every routine!
