Make Your Grips Last Longer with These Simple Care Tips 🧼

Your gymnastics grips are more than just gear—they’re a key part of your training. They protect your hands, support your performance and give you confidence every time you hit the bars. But even the best grips won’t last forever unless you treat them right.

Here’s how to take care of your grips and extend their life:

  • Shake Your Grips Out After Practice
    Remove excess chalk and gently roll the leather forward and backward to keep them soft. This prevents brittleness and keeps them flexible.

  • Let Them Air Dry
    Don’t toss them straight into your gym bag. Letting them dry properly prevents sweat buildup and odour.

  • Avoid Folding or Bending Them
    Folding damages the leather and deforms the shape.

  • Store Flat in a Cool, Dry Place
    Flat storage helps preserve the grip’s structure and keeps the leather in top condition.

  • Rotate Between Two Pairs
    Using a backup pair helps reduce wear and tear, especially during intense training weeks.

Caring for your grips is just as important as choosing the right pair. And when you order directly from our Australian website, you might find a little surprise inside—we love spoiling our Qalaro athletes 😉
