Protect your gear and be ready for opening day.
As the curling season comes to a close, taking a little extra time to care for your equipment will help it last longer and perform better next season.
Wash Your Curling Clothes
After months of use, curling clothing can retain moisture, sweat, and odours if not properly cleaned.
- Wash jackets, pants, shirts, and gloves before storing
- Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions
- Ensure all items are fully dry before packing them away
Clean Shoes and Brooms
Curling shoes and brooms require regular care to prevent damage and premature wear.
- Remove dirt and ice buildup from shoe soles
- Clean broom heads and allow them to air dry
- Avoid soaking shoes or broom handles
Store Equipment Properly
Storage conditions play a major role in protecting curling equipment during the off-season.
- Store equipment indoors when possible
- Keep items away from damp basements or garages
- Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures
Taking care of your equipment during the off-season helps ensure it is clean, safe, and ready when the ice goes back in.
