Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need:

• Mild detergent or specialized sports gear cleaner
• Large bucket or sink
• Warm water
• Soft-bristle brush or sponge

Fill the bucket or sink with warm water and add a small amount of mild detergent or sports gear cleaner. Follow the instructions provided by the cleaner manufacturer for the appropriate amounts. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they may damage the fabric.

Place the knee sleeves into the solution and let them soak for approximately 30 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt, sweat, and bacteria trapped inside the fabric.

After soaking, use a soft-bristle brush or sponge to gently scrub both the inside and outside of the knee sleeves. Pay extra attention to any areas with stubborn stains or odors. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the fabric.

Once clean, thoroughly rinse the knee sleeves with clean water to remove any leftover detergent or cleaner residue. Squeeze out excess water gently – ensure not to twist or wring the sleeves.

After rinsing, lay the sleeves flat on a clean towel and gently roll the towel to absorb additional moisture. Then, let the knee sleeves air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Avoid using a dryer or any direct heat sources as they may damage the fabric.

To maintain your knee sleeves’ freshness, it’s recommended to clean them after every few uses. Be sure to follow the previous steps for routine cleaning and store them in a clean, dry place when not in use. Avoid wearing knee sleeves on dirty or wet skin to prevent accelerated accumulation of dirt and odor.
