Olympic Barbell Bright Hard Chrome 15kg

Basic cleaning of the bar to avoid rust:

• Cleaning the chalk out of the knurling removes the opportunity for moisture to build up in the gaps (chalk absorbs moisture and will draw moisture from the air, in turn causing rust to develop in the knurling)
• To rid the bar of chalk you need to use a hard-non-abrasive nylon bristle brush and ideally this should be done daily, however if you own 20-30 barbells, to clean these daily would be impossible, so in this instance cycle your maintenance weekly by cleaning half of your bars one week and the other half the next week to ensure the bars are regularly cleaned
• Another way to avoid rust developing is to spray the bar with WD-40:
  • –  To apply correctly spray the WD-40 on a rag and make sure to cover the entire shaft, sleeves and collars ofthe bar
  • –  Leave it for a few hours or overnight (whichever is more convenient) and then wipe o the excess with a drycloth
  • –  The environment and usage your barbell is exposed to will determine how regularly you need to apply WD-40
  • –  If the barbell is kept indoors and is only for home use, doing this once or twice a month would be more than enough
  • –  If the barbell is in a more exposed, open-aired environment or used multiple times a day it is recommendedto do so weekly or even twice a week.
