Details

This tutorial introduces a reliable post-session cleaning routine designed for beginners. Players start by separating soft goods pads, jerseys, gloves from hard items such as markers, loaders, and tanks. Soft goods are set aside for washing or ventilation.

Markers are wiped externally using a microfiber cloth to remove paint and dust. The barrel is removed and cleaned separately. Beginners avoid internal disassembly unless following a brand-specific manual.

Loaders are opened (if applicable) and wiped gently to clear paint residue from visible surfaces. Battery compartments remain dry.

Mask cleaning focuses on gentle blotting and exterior lens wiping to avoid scratching or foam separation.

All equipment is laid out to dry completely to prevent mold, odor, or corrosion.
