A well-maintained punching bag can last for several years, even with intensive use. Maintenance is simple: just wipe the surface with a damp soft cloth after each session to remove sweat or glove residue. If used outdoors, remember to protect it from UV rays and excessive moisture. For leather models, applying a specific nourishing cream every two months helps maintain the material's suppleness.
Fastenings should also be checked regularly: straps, chains and carabiners must remain strong and securely anchored. Proper maintenance preserves the seams, limits wear and tear, and guarantees optimal durability. All our models come with care instructions tailored to their type of coating.
