How To Take Care of Your Gi.
1. WASH IN COLD WATER . Line/hang dry, this will maximize the life of your BJJ Giand minimize shrinkage. In case you need to use the dryer, use no heat or the lowest heat setting. The dryer will reduce the longevity of your Gi by weakening the fibers and collar.
2. DO NOT USE BLEACH. Bleach will ruin your BJJ Gi. If you get blood or a stain of some sorts immediately run under cold water and scrub the effected area.
3. DO NOT DRY YOUR GI UNDER THE SUN. It will dry out the fibers and reduce the durability of the BJJ Gi. Hanging dry under the sun without washing is even worse, you can say goodbye to the BJJ gi, the formula (sweat + sun) will terminate the fabric.
