HOW TO WASH GOALKEEPER GLOVES
Latex is what gives you grip, and dirt and sweat are what wear it out. A two-minute wash after every session keeps your gloves catching for longer.
Step by step
- Rinse off mud and dirt in lukewarm water straight after use.
- Soak for a few minutes in lukewarm water with a little mild soap or glove wash.
- Gently rub the palms together; never scrub with a brush.
- Rinse until the water runs clear.
- Press the water out with a towel; never wring the gloves.
Drying
Dry at room temperature, away from direct sun and heaters. Never tumble-dry. Stuff with newspaper to keep the shape.
Storage
Store slightly damp in a glove bag, with the palms apart so the latex does not stick to itself.
