Essential maintainance tips for your Goalkeeper Gloves

01

Before play

Wash your new gloves before using them for the first time and allow them to dry naturally (consult the washing instructions below) to ensure any preservatives from the manufacturing process are removed from the latex.
It will activate the latex and make sure that maximum grip is achieved for your gloves during its usage.
If you want absolute confidence that they are ready, a second pre-wash is always a good idea.
02

During play

When your gloves are in use, occasionally dampen the palms of the gloves with water to get the best possible grip and durability from the latex palm.
Since contact latex is not meant to be dry, professional goalkeepers frequently moisten their gloves with water to maintain the latex's grip and responsiveness.
03

After play

If you leave your latex to dry out too much, it will become brittle which will have an impact on durability and grip which is not what you want.

1

To maximize the lifespan of your goalkeeper gloves, wash them immediately after use in lukewarm water (a maximum of 30C).

2

Rinse and soak the gloves in the sink. If you've used a glove cleaner, ensure you thoroughly rinse it off, as the residual cleaner can damage the gloves.

3

Wash the gloves by hand, gently scrubbing the dirt off with your thumbs. Avoid applying excessive pressure, as this can tear the latex. Do not use a brush or scrubber, as these can also damage the gloves.

4

While not essential, using a glove cleaner can effectively remove dirt and expedite the cleaning process. Follow the instructions on the specific glove cleaner you've chosen.

5

Allow the gloves to air dry naturally. This may take approximately a day.
