How do you clean your True Blues? I REALLY need to clean the inside of my gloves. 1. How do you clean and dry inside of gloves?

I have found that the best way to clean your gloves is to stick them in the washing machine with a load of towels and then put them on a boot dryer so they don't get the mildew odder in them. I tried washing them and hanging them from clothes pins on a hanger but it keeps the gloves closed and then they smell like mildew!

Good question!... I've been using these gloves for about 4 years (4 pairs) and here are the things I've tried and I do NOT recommend: 1- I flipped them inside out, hand washed them with mild liquid soap, then let them air dry at the dish rack --this did not get rid of the mildew odor. I mean it was good for one use maybe. 2- Someone said try apple cider vinegar instead of soap, I did. did NOT work. --again flip them inside out. 3- Wash them in dishwasher, inside out. Was good for a week or less, the odor got back again the same way. 4- Wash them in washing machine, inside out, same as dishwasher, it was good for a week, then stinky again (and I did not load the machine with towels like the other responder, maybe that is the trick?) I have talked to other folks and no one really knows how to get rid of the bad odor. The gloves are awesome and last for a long time, though I change them due to stinkiness issue. BTW, turning them inside out could be a little tricky, but it is easy when you get a hang of it. Sorry if this doesn't help much, but thought to share. I hope someone else offers a more helpful response and I might try the load of towels too... being desperate I guess. he he

Hand wash soap and water, then use leather polish (the polish will help keep it cleaner later too, I use a dull polish on most my leather goods, to not give it a shine, unless you want that). This is how i clean all my leather products.

I keep mine clean AND DRY all the time. I would soak it in a mild bleach solution, rinse well and dry it out completely.

Clean the sticky side just with water after each use. When they get too smelly you can throw em in the normal wash with your other clothes. Each wash takes a bit out of them though, so wash only when the smell is way too bad.If you can afford it I'd have a practice pair and a game pair for the season. If not follow what I said and it should last longer than any other gloves you find. These are by far the best gloves on the market in my opinion. I've gone through a lot.

Hi, generally after cleaning the boot I just rub my fingertips across the product and then massage into the leather. The more heat you apply the deep it will soak into the leather, really depends on the boots you are applying it to.

Pull lint etc out with your hand or brush the wrong way until the lint comes out. When dirty,Hand Wash with soap, rinse, wipe dry & air dry until completely dry.

You can try white vinegar and water soak at least 20min with hot water. Last resort a 1/4cup of bleach with a gallon of water ratio. Wash with gloves on may take 10 min or morw you must them wash the item with dishsoap and water.very well. also this item I believe stated it could topload in s dishwasher. I wish you well

After unplugging, while still warm, I use a very damp paper towel to wipe off grease, holding down over crusted parts to soften up. Then a sponge with soapy water. Wipe down and then air dry. Never had a problem. Not necessary to scrape using utensil. Cleaning sounds like a hassle, but this could not be easier!

Gloves only smell bad after use if not cared for properly. It's an enclosed environment for bacteria to grow. After every use, and I do mean every use, I wipe them down with an antibacterial tissue, inside and out, then place them on a boot dryer which removes humidity, sweat, and leaves little for bacteria to grow on. I've never had an issue with them. It's common sense stuff. If they smell BEFORE use... No idea what to tell you. Sorry.

Wash when it looks dirty (like with a towel, no fabric softener). I have several, tossed in drawers, glove compartments, and desks. No special care is needed, however, if you drop it in the dirt wash before using.

They recommend a Clorox powder type cleanser. I have used it once since I own them. My wife got the stuff mixed with bleach and it makes my hands stink like bleach so I don't like using it. Anyhow. I typically use water and just wash them and you can see the metal wash away. Frequency? Well not very often. I guess this would depend on the amount of sharpening. When you see them turning from white to gray maybe its time, if the grey becomes black its definitely time.

This is what I do: I wash my hands with soap, then rub lotion on them, then wash them again. I do this all quickly, without drying my hands, and immediately after applying the cream. If this doesn't work, try milk. Good luck!

Use a couple of your fingers and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. A brush is a waste of this expensive (but well worth it) product.

Easiest thing to do. Just take some liquid soap on a soft cloth, rub n rinse with your hands. Voila !!

This unit is absolutely NOT washable. I have the user manual in-hand. In the "Cleaning & Maintenance" section it clearly states "Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush..." Also, in other parts of the user guide, it states that the unit should not be exposed to moisture. I would like to know how other users have concluded that this product is washable. What's more, the product description On amazon clearly indicates that it is not washable - these are rarely incorrect. What am I missing?

They recommend hand washing. My initial cleaning was in the dish washer. I mostly rinse under hot water and depending on what I cut a bit of dish soap.
