Caring for your GI is a must! A dirty GI it’s not nice and is considered disrespectful.

Caring for your GI:

1. It is very important to care for your BJJ Gi. Caring for your BJJ Gi will ensure longevity as well as a clean and hygienic uniform. Please observe the following instructions to care for your BJJ Gi.
2. Due to the natural 100% cotton fibers, do not use chlorine bleaches when washing your BJJ Gi. Use a small amount of mild laundry detergents along with a non invasive anti-bacterial additive.
3. Avoid washing with other colors – always wash separately or with white clothes of course! (unless your GI is blue or balck!)
4. Always air out your BJJ Gi after every use or wash. Hang it outside to dry! Never leave it in a closed gym bag as it is unhygienic for you and your fellow martial artists.
5. Use lukewarm water ~ 30 degrees. – hotter if you want it to shrink.
6. Don’t tumble dry – again, unless you want some major shrinkage!
7. The natural cotton fiber material used in your BJJ Gi will naturally shrink between 5 – 9 % after the first initial washes.
