Maintaining the cleanliness of protective leg equipment is crucial for hygiene and longevity. The process involves removing accumulated sweat, dirt, and bacteria from the gear’s surface and interior. Neglecting this regular care can lead to unpleasant odors, skin irritation, and accelerated material degradation.
Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of the equipment and helps prevent the spread of bacteria or fungi that can cause skin infections. By addressing the accumulation of moisture and contaminants, the gear remains more comfortable and effective during use. This proactive approach safeguards both the user and the equipment itself.
