The other day while I was knee sparring, I got a complaint that my wraps smelled. I wash them as often as I could but the smell was still there. The obvious problem was I kept my warps rolled up when I washed them, which did no good. A lot of people will throw their wraps right into the wash (unwrapped) but most of the time their wraps will get all caught up in their washing machine.
The Solution
I found these bra mesh bag cleaner things laying around in my laundry room (dont laugh). So I thought to myself, well I can throw my wraps in these mesh bags and and wash them. So of course, I did, and it eliminated the awful sweat smell for the most part. I did some research and you can actually pick up these laundry mesh bags for other things such as socks that you can use to wash your wraps.
I found these meshbags on Walmarts website (New Window)

Update: I also decided to spray the wraps with Lysol after they were washed and then hung them up to air dry. My wraps are now stank free.
