Steps for Removing Perspiration Stains from Gloves

  1. Start by submerging the gloves in a sink, bowl, or bucket filled with cold water and a generous amount of laundry detergent. Let them soak for at least an hour.
  2. After the gloves have been soaking, gently scrub any visible stains with a soft-bristled brush.
  3. Rinse the gloves thoroughly in cold water until all soap and dirt have been removed.
  4. Check care label for the best way to launder your gloves. For fabrics such as leather or suede, skip this step and proceed directly to the next one.
  5. Place the gloves in washing machine with a mild detergent. Wash on a gentle cycle and then air dry.
  6. For tougher stains, try using white vinegar or rubbing alcohol, dampening a soft cloth and rubbing it onto the affected areas.

Tips for Maintaining and Caring for Your Gloves

  • Always read the care label for specific instructions for washing and drying your gloves.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, stain removers, and abrasive brushes as these can damage the fabric.
  • Store your gloves away from heat and humidity to avoid damaging fabric or causing unnecessary wear and tear.
  • If gloves become wet, allow them to air dry in a cool place away from direct heat.
