Have you just bought a Fighting Films judo kimono and would like to know how best to wash it? Discover the different steps to follow to preserve the quality of your kimono even after dozens of washes!
- We recommend that you wash your judo kimono before using it for the first time.
- After each workout, air out your kimono.
- After the first few washes, your kimono will shrink slightly (depending on the model).
- If the kimono is too big, don’t hesitate to wash it hot the first time to shrink it slightly.
- For other washes, follow label instructions (wash at 30°).
- Bleach is not recommended, as it can damage the judogi.
- Wash it regularly, every 3-4 training sessions, to keep it white and shiny.
- Be careful not to wash your white kimono with clothes of other colors.
- Blue kimonos can rub off on your other clothes.
- Then, for drying, recommend natural drying, which can take up to 24 hours, or, if you want your kimono to shrink slightly, put it in the dryer.
- Finally, you can iron your kimono to keep it wrinkle-free, and use a judo bag to carry it.
