We want you to be able to enjoy your eGLOVE products for a long time, and that means they need to be looked after! All the activities we make gloves for mean that they will get dirty (especially in the UK weather!), so you're going to want to know how to keep them clean! Here are our recommendations!
LEATHER GLOVES:
To care for your eGLOVE leather gloves such as GripPro Leather Equestrian Riding Gloves or the GripPro Leather Western Riding Gloves and maintain their quality and durability, follow these steps:
1. **Regular Cleaning**: Gently wipe your leather gloves with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris, preserving their appearance and longevity.
2. **Conditioning**: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out, extending the lifespan of your gloves.
3. **Storage**: Store your leather gloves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying. Avoid folding them to prevent creases.
4. **Avoid Moisture**: Keep your leather gloves away from water and moisture to prevent damage and mould growth. If they get wet (this is the UK of course!), allow them to air dry naturally, then reapply leather conditioner.
5. **Protection**: Apply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather to protect your gloves from moisture and stains, enhancing their durability.
NON LEATHER GLOVES:
Non Leather / Synthetic / Technical fabrics - such as GripPro X-LITE, GripPro LITE, GripPro Winter Edition Equestrian Riding Gloves, Bike GelPro Cycling Gloves and all of our Run Gloves
1. **Gentle Cleaning**: Clean synthetic gloves with a mild detergent and lukewarm water to remove dirt and grime without damaging the material.
2. **Air Dry**: After cleaning, air dry your synthetic gloves away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinking or warping.
3. **Avoid Harsh Chemicals**: Refrain from using bleach or harsh chemicals on synthetic gloves, as they can weaken the fabric and cause discolouration.
4. **Storage**: Store your synthetic gloves in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and integrity. Avoid folding or crushing them to prevent creases.
5. **Protective Measures**: Consider applying a fabric protector spray to safeguard your synthetic gloves against stains and water damage, enhancing their durability.
6. **Gentle Handling**: Handle synthetic gloves with care to avoid tears or snags. Avoid pulling or stretching the fabric excessively when putting them on or taking them off.
7. **Regular Inspection**: Periodically inspect your synthetic gloves for signs of wear and tear, such as fraying seams or loose threads, and address any issues promptly to prolong their lifespan.
By following these care tips, you can ensure that your leather gloves remain in top condition, allowing you to enjoy their comfort and style for years to come. Invest in quality eGLOVE Sports gloves and maintain them properly for long-lasting performance and style.
