🧼 Neutral Zone Clean Hygiene Guide

Protect What Matters — On and Off the Mat

Whether you wrestle, roll, or grind it out in the gym, proper hygiene isn’t optional. This wrestling and BJJ hygiene guide from Neutral Zone Clean is your playbook for preventing mat funk — from ringworm to staph — and staying clean on and off the mat.

At Neutral Zone Clean, we built an entire system to help athletes protect what matters — their skin, their team, and their passion for the sport.

🧍‍♂️ Personal Hygiene

Clean habits start before you ever step on the mat.

1. Shower Before and After Training
Start clean and end cleaner. Shower before class to remove bacteria from the day and always shower immediately afterward using Neutral Zone Clean’s Shower Gel or Bar Soap. Our formulas are free from harsh chemicals, tough on funk, and safe for sensitive skin.

2. Use Deodorant (for everyone’s sake)
Training partners are close — respect that. Apply deodorant before every session.

3. Brush and Rinse
Fresh breath matters during rolls and drills. Brush and rinse before class — it’s basic courtesy.

4. Trim Nails and Groom Carefully
Keep fingernails and toenails short and smooth to prevent scratches that can lead to infections.

5. Cover Wounds
If you’ve got a cut or scrape, clean it, apply a bandage, and seal it with medical tape. Never train with open wounds.

6. Use Footwear Off the Mat
Wear sandals or slides when walking to restrooms or common areas. Never step on the mat barefoot after walking around.

🎒Gear + Equipment Care

Your gear touches your skin — keep it clean.

1. Wash After Every Session
Wash your gi, rash guard, spats, singlet, and anything else you wore after every practice. No exceptions.

2. Air-Dry Thoroughly
Let your gear dry completely before packing it away to stop bacteria from growing.

3. Disinfect Your Equipment
Use Neutral Zone Clean Body & Equipment Spray to wipe down headgear, kneepads, shoes, and gym bags. It’s powered by our Silverion antimicrobial technology and safe on skin-contact surfaces.

4. Use Your Own Stuff
Never share towels, razors, mouthguards, or water bottles. Germs spread fast — don’t help them.

5. Wipe Down Between Matches
During tournaments, use Neutral Zone Clean Body Wipes to remove sweat, grime, and bacteria after each match or round. Fast, easy, and mat-side ready.

🧹 Facility & Mat Hygiene

Your mat is where champions are built — keep it that way.

1. Clean Mats Daily
Disinfect mats before and after each practice using Neutral Zone Clean Mat Cleaner. It kills bacteria and viruses on contact without harsh fumes or residues.

2. No Street Shoes on Mats
Shoes that touch the street never touch the mat. Period.

3. Disinfect Common Areas
Use Neutral Zone Clean Multi-Purpose Wipes (Coming Soon) or Mat Cleaner on benches, door handles, and locker-room surfaces to prevent cross-contamination.

4. Promote Team Accountability
Every athlete should take ownership of mat care — clean together, protect together.
