Cleaning Your Gloves

Leathers
Softer leather gloves such as suede or goatskin become very stiff as the dirt grinds in, which makes them uncomfortable to wear. Plus, if you're bad about getting dirt inside your gloves and grinding it into your finger tips, eventually you'll have to wash your gloves. The problem with washing suede or soft leather can make it stiff and unwearable.

To keep your leather gloves clean, you will want to hand wash them in cold water. If needed, use non-chlorine bleach. Do not wring out your gloves as this will mishapen them. Just lay them flat to dry (you may also lay them flat on a towel to dry).

Cotton
Cotton can be rinsed under the hose and cleaned in the washing machine with warm water and tumbled dry. Knit and latex can also be machine laundered, but use cool water and hang up to dry.

Rubber
Rubber gloves should be cleaned at the hose or utility sink, an easy job if you just wash them while wearing them.

Always store your gloves in a dry place to prevent mildew. Hanging clips inside the door of your potting shed or garage keeps gloves dry and easy to find when you need them.

Explanation of the different glove types
  • Heavy cotton is the choice for traditional all-purpose work gloves. They sometimes have rubber dots on the palms for a better grip, and they come in all sorts of fun colors and patterns.
  • One step up from the cotton glove are cotton knit with latex coating over the whole hand or just the palm and fingers, leaving the back of the hand plain cotton for ventilation. These are great for damp days or dirty tasks.
  • Rubber with gauntlets are excellent for really muddy work and pond tasks.
  • Heavy-duty leather are good for sawing, heavy pruning, moving brush. Some have a long cuff for added wrist and arm protection.
  • Cold weather, made of leather or rubber have a fleece lining.
  • Use Neoprene when working with chemicals or poisonous plants.
