🔸Elite Model

Since they're not made of cotton, you don't breathe as much. If you train daily, you can use alcohol-free disinfectant wipes on the inside of the earmuffs after each use to prolong the need for cleaning. Otherwise, wash them every 5-6 uses. How?

1. Clean with a damp cloth and neutral soap , without rubbing hard.
2. DO NOT use rough sponges or scouring pads .
3. If sweat has accumulated, wipe the inside of the earmuff with diluted white vinegar (1:1 with water) and then dry with a microfiber cloth.
4. Let it dry in the shade, ventilated, without direct heat.

Tips: Keep your protections in perfect condition

• Avoid washing them with towels or clothing that rubs hard. If you use a washing machine (for elbow pads), protect them with a mesh bag.
• After each use, let them air out. Don't put them in your backpack while wet or sealed.
• Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. They damage technical fabrics and reduce elasticity.
• Disinfect occasionally with diluted white vinegar or antibacterial textile sprays (alcohol-free).
