A Simple Paddle Care Routine
Good care can be part of packing up, rather than another task for later.
Wipe it down gently.
Use a clean, soft cloth to remove loose surface dust. For remaining marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water and wipe gently. Dry the face, edge and handle before storing the paddle. Avoid soaking it.
Treat the finish with care.
Do not use solvents, harsh household cleaners, abrasive brushes or aggressive scrubbing on the printed face. A T700 carbon-fiber material label does not automatically mean a paddle has an exposed raw-carbon surface. Ask us before using a specialist cleaning block on a Pikimelo paddle.
Give it a sensible place to rest.
Keep the paddle dry and protected from heavy objects, sharp edges and accidental knocks. Avoid leaving it in a parked car or another place that becomes very hot or cold. A suitable protective cover can help prevent scratches in your bag.
Notice changes before the next game.
Check the grip, edge and face when you pack up. If a new crack, loose component or unexpected change concerns you, pause use and send us clear photos with the model name and your order details. We can help identify the next step.
