How do you clean boxing or mma gloves? It seems like most pairs I use at gyms have never been cleaned! They stink and started giving me a rash. So I bought new ones, but I want to keep them clean! How do you do it?
 
Simple, Febreze them & let them dry. Those bags of cedar chips are supposed to work well with boxing gloves, too.
 
Hmm, that makes sense, although I prefer just to wear wraps.
 
Make sure to get the anti bacterial Febreze not just a fragranced one otherwise they'll still stink long term.
 
make sure you air them out too dont just toss them into a dark gym bag its amazing what air and sunlight will do

I thought febreze was not good for leather
Well, you don't febreze the leather, you febreze the inside of the glove.

Here is what I do with my gloves:

1) Boxing gloves: glove dogs (flannel sock full of cedar chips) after most workouts, once a week I spray Lysol or Febreze on a towel and stuff it in the glove.

2) Grappling gloves: glove dogs don't work on open gloves like these, so I stick with the Lysol-ed or Febreze-ed towel method.

Lots of air time, too.
