The Essential Hygiene Routine for Wrestlers: Stay Clean, Stay Healthy

Wrestling is one of the most physically demanding sports out there. Every match is a full-body experience, with sweat, skin contact, and sometimes even blood. While these are part of the game, they also create the perfect environment for bacteria, staph, and fungal infections like ringworm to thrive. As a wrestler, taking care of your hygiene is just as important as perfecting your moves.

That’s where Fight Scrub comes in. Here’s why having a solid hygiene routine is essential for every wrestler, and how Fight Scrub can help you stay clean and healthy both on and off the mat.

1. Shower Immediately After Every Match or Practice

One of the best ways to avoid skin infections is to shower as soon as possible after a match or practice. Your skin is exposed to bacteria, dirt, and other harmful pathogens during every session, and waiting too long to clean up gives these invaders time to settle in. A quick rinse won’t cut it—you need a powerful soap that kills bacteria and protects your skin.

Fight Scrub All Natural Cold Processed Soap is specifically designed to fight off bacteria, staph, and ringworm, making it a must-have for your post-wrestling routine. Our soap comes in a convenient, hangable clam shell so you can take it with you wherever you go, ensuring that you never miss a chance to clean up.

2. Sanitize on the Go

Sometimes, you don’t have time to shower right away. Whether you're in between matches or on the road after practice, staying fresh and sanitized is still crucial. Fight Scrub’s Deodorizing Body Spray is the perfect solution for those in-between moments. It kills 99.9% of bacteria and keeps your skin clean and smelling fresh, even when you can't hit the showers.

Our spray also comes in multiple invigorating scents like Original (Peppermint + Tea Tree), Sandalwood + Bourbon, and Mango + Coconut, so you can stay confident no matter where you are. And it’s not just for your skin—you can even spray it on your gear or gym bag to keep everything smelling fresh and germ-free.

3. Protect Your Skin from Infections

Wrestlers are at a higher risk for skin infections, including staph, MRSA, and ringworm. These infections can spread quickly in close-contact sports, making hygiene a top priority. Fight Scrub’s formula is designed to protect you from these threats, providing an extra layer of defense against harmful bacteria and fungi.

Regular use of Fight Scrub’s products after every match or practice can significantly reduce the risk of infections and keep you healthy all season long. Prevention is key, and with Fight Scrub, you’re giving your skin the protection it needs.

4. Keep Your Gear Clean

It’s not just your body that needs cleaning—your gear is just as important. Wrestling shoes, pads, and your gym bag can all harbor bacteria and odor over time. Regularly cleaning your gear with Fight Scrub’s Body Spray helps prevent the build-up of bacteria and keeps your equipment fresh.

A quick spray down after practice or a match ensures that your gear doesn’t become a breeding ground for germs. Plus, you’ll be able to step onto the mat each time feeling clean, confident, and ready to perform.

5. Develop a Routine and Stick to It

Hygiene isn’t a one-time thing—it’s a habit. Developing a consistent post-wrestling hygiene routine can make all the difference in keeping your skin healthy and your body ready for the next challenge. Make sure your routine includes:

  • A thorough shower with Fight Scrub Body Soap
  • Fight Scrub Body Spray for on-the-go sanitizing
  • Regular cleaning of your gear and equipment

Sticking to this routine will not only protect you from skin infections but also give you the confidence to compete at your best, knowing you’re clean, fresh, and protected.
