Our tips for maintaining your competition boule

Proper maintenance helps extend the lifespan of your pétanque boules. Since the MS 120 is made of carbon steel, it is prone to oxidation. To prevent rust formation, always wipe your boules with a cloth after use.

After removing any dust, wash your boule with soapy water and let it dry completely. Once dry, apply a thin layer of oil. If you don’t have a specialized cleaning solution, petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can work just as well.

Avoid leaving your boules in the trunk of your car, where temperature fluctuations cause condensation. Prolonged humidity may lead to oxidation and damage the boules over time.

We recommend storing them indoors, in a dry location, to best preserve their quality.
