What temperature do you wash your BJJ gi?

So just got a Tatami Gi. It says not to wash it over 30c. Seriously? Conflicting info on other places on Internet. Some say it'll last less time.

If I washed it at 60c, would it last at least a year? I only plan to train about twice a week so two washes a week maximum. No way I'm just washing at 30c!

 

Cold wash or else it will certainly shrink and you will set the blood stains!

 

30 °C, but also use an antibacterial laundry detergent like Dettol.

 

Well that sucks. What detergent do you guys use? Or just put some Dettol in?

 

Antibacterial Laundry Cleanser| Laundry Disinfectant | Dettol

Add this with any decent biological laundry agent, e.g. Ariel 3-in-1 tabs.

 

30 is fine, just put it to wash straight away, and don't leave it dirty anywhere overnight, detol etc anti bac, and a bit of softener every now and again will. Do wonders.

Ps also wash your belt at least weekly!

 

I was my belt after every session...probably why Im a slow learner

 

As the Japanese say..... Cleanliness is next to sakarabaness!
