For many activities, knee pads are an essential piece of equipment. They’re standard gear for sports like volleyball, basketball, and skateboarding, and they’re also handy when performing many home chores.
If you wear knee pads regularly, you know how dirty and smelly they can get. If you just can’t seem to get them clean, read on to learn how to wash knee pads the right way!
In a hurry to get clean your knee pads? This quick start guide should help you get the job done with ease:
If you aren’t able to use the washing machine, you can certainly hand wash your knee pads. The process is quite similar:
The instructions above should help you make relatively quick work of washing your knee pads. But what can you do to care for your pads on a day-to-day basis? One easy step you can take is to let them air out after every use. For instance, let’s say you are using knee pads for volleyball. After practice, you probably toss your pads in a bag, along with some other gear, and head home. That’s fine, but if you then toss that bag on your floor and leave everything zipped up in that dark, damp environment, you’re going to create a breeding ground for bacteria and some serious stink. The key is to remember to open up your bag when you get home, so the pads can air out. This step isn’t going to remove the need for washing, but it might allow you to go a little longer between washes.
Another handy trick is to rotate between two pairs of pads. This ensures that one pair can fully dry before you wear it again, which helps cut down on stink. And as an added bonus, you may be able to get a longer life out of both pairs—as you’ll be using them less than if you were only using one pair
