Care & Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your hand weights:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially if you sweat, wipe down the hand weights with a damp cloth to remove moisture and grime. For a deeper clean, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.
- Storage: Store the hand weights in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving them in areas where they might be a tripping hazard. Consider a weight rack or designated storage area if you have multiple weights.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the PVC coating for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. While durable, proper handling and storage will extend their lifespan.
- Avoid Dropping: Although robust, repeatedly dropping weights, especially from a height, can lead to damage to the weight itself or your flooring.
