Our advice for maintaining your Obut Match IT Minimes Stripe 0 stainless steel boules

Although stainless steel requires minimal maintenance, a soft petanque boule like the Match IT Minimes requires a few simple steps to preserve its performance. Wipe down your competition boules after each game to remove dust and moisture. Once a month, clean your set of 3 with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Then, apply a thin coat of Vaseline or Obut maintenance product. This will keep your competitive petanque boules in top condition.

The quick Obut tip:

Never store your boules in a car trunk: humidity and temperature variations cause premature oxidation. Store them in a dry place to preserve their shine, smooth feel, and playing behavior.
