Swasher™ Maintenance & Care

To ensure your Swasher lasts as long as possible, it is important to follow these care instructions:

1) Do not get the Swasher wet. Never duel in the rain or snow. Besides making the Swasher heavy and unsafe, water wears down the glue and other materials that make up a Swasher.

2) To clean your Swasher, spot wash with a damp cloth. Swashers that are excessively dirty may require a new outer sheath. In this case, send the Swasher to Swasher Maintenance. Dirty Swashers, once dry, are usually still safe to play with and replacement may not be necessary.

3) Outer sheath fabric may be torn easily by tagging rough surfaces such as trees and cement – do not strike such surfaces. If the fabric becomes torn, the Swasher is no longer safe to duel with and should be returned to Swasher Maintenance for an inexpensive sheath replacement.

4) The interior of the Swasher is filled with foam and a rigid fiberglass core. If the Swasher strikes a surface too hard, the fiberglass may break and become sharp. Do not tag hard. To tell whether the core or interior materials have been damaged, squeeze the foam blade from the tip to the hilt, checking for a bent core or punctured foam. If the core is damaged or the foam is ripped, the Swasher must be replaced. Send to Swasher Maintenance – a replacement Swasher can be bought for a discount.
