How To Clean Your Barbell
Hey, guess what? Your barbell is gross. After multiple workouts, your barbell gets full of sweat, dirt, chalk, and maybe even some skin. Taking time to clean your barbell will prolong its life and we can help with that. The PRx crew has your back with our Barbell Cleaning Kit.
How To Clean Your Barbell
Step 1 - Get a Barbell Cleaning Kit From PRx
The PRx Barbell Cleaning Kit has three important components:
- 360° Nylon Barbell Brush
- Multipurpose 3-in-ONE Oil
- PRx Microfiber Towel
Step 2 - Brush Your Barbell
When you workout, your barbell collects skin, chalk, dust, and more. The 360° Nylon Barbell Brush curves around your bar to help you get as much dirt and junk off your barbell as possible. The nylon bristles won't damage your bar and are designed to clean even the toughest knurling pattern.
Pro tip: Brush your barbell off after every workout to avoid major build up!
Step 3 - Add Oil To Your Barbell
Working in small sections, run a line of Multipurpose 3-in-ONE Oil (start with minimal amounts and go from there!) down the knurling of your barbell and use the brush to brush it into your bar.
Step 4 - Wipe Down Your Barbell
Once you finish oiling and brushing your barbell, take the PRx Microfiber Towel and wipe down any excess oil. Your barbell might feel slippery for a workout or two.
Step 5 - Workout and Repeat
Now that your barbell is clean, start going after those PRs again! Your barbell might feel slippery for a workout or two, so don't forget the chalk. Remember to brush your bar after your workouts and clean it every other month or two.
