NewLevel Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Anyone have any good washing tips on how to keep your smelly, sweaty Karate gi looking bright and clean, like new?I heard using OxyClean washing liquid with regular detergent is good.

Toptomcat Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Regularly washing it like any other item of clothing has always worked for me.
WireFrame Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Wash it after every use. This still hasn't worked for me though.
DWx Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 For stains/dirt/sweat my mum always put detergent directly on it before putting it in the machine. Also if you're not going to wash it straight away soak it in water until you do rather than leave it festering at the bottom of a washing pile.Used to use Vanish oxyaction (think it probably has a different name in the States) and that worked really well on the whit bits... just used to fade all the embroidery to grey.

traffic142 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I had mine in the closet for years. I soaked it in oxyclean and detergent and after 4 washes, it got clean. Ni Dan in Isshinryu, current training in Tarboro NC
mr_obvious Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Regular washing with detergent and bleach. Mine's sooooooo dang white, people have to wear shades to watch me (j/k, lol).
