So I know there are some old threads on this, but how about an update. I know one method is to put them in a mesh bag and toss them in the washer, then hang dry. The only problem is that they bleed and I don't want to stain my clothes.
I was thinking about handwashing them. What I plan on doing is filling up a bucket w/ water, toss in a little detergent and then let the wraps soak for a little while, maybe 10 minutes. Then I'll take them out, rinse them off thoroughly and then let them hang dry.
Thoughts? How do you guys wash your wraps and how often?

I prefer a handwrap wash bag. Just make sure to use cold water and the colors won't bleed. :)

Hand washing is best IMO.

just put them in a couple of socks. And they have these little sheet things that catch the colors so that they dont bleed into your clothes, ask at the store and pick one up..............Rockin':boxing:

I just put them in a pillow case in the color clothes. And still put them in the dryer. Never had a problem with them bleeding.

I got white creamy coloured mex wraps and the wife just sticks em in the washing machine. When dry roll em back up and stick in gym bag.
Washed mine loads and still going strong.
Easy.

Use a lingerie bag. I use my wife's, and wash the wraps on the warm/cold "sport" setting with nothing else in the washer except a hell of a lot of soap.
For you single guys, buying a lingerie bag gives you an excuse to go to Victoria's Secret and tell the hot chick behind the counter that you're a boxer. :luvbed:

You can do either. But i just throw them in the washer machine. I have white wraps so I usually wash them with white clothing.
