Our glove's fingers became petrified hardened after handling hot logs. Are they ruined or can they be restored?

They are probably ruined, but can't say for sure since we have only used the gloves for handling cool logs as we were putting them into the fire initially.

The glove is made mostly out of light weight leather. The best way to clean them is with the use of leather care products. I've used a product called Leather Amore, which penetrates the leather to get out the dirt and grime and boosts the life of the leather with oils and conditioners. Throwing these gloves in the washing machine or soaking them would not be recommended. Once they dry out from that cycle, the leather will most likely be damaged and tends to split after a while, right at the stitch points usually. If you want something for the short term to reduce the stink of these being hand shoes, try a small spritz of Febreeze and keep the gloves on top of your gym bag to air dry. The number one issue with durability on these gloves is keeping the leather parts soft. Once they harden, the damaging effects have set in.

The packaging said the Gulife Glove hot surface glove can be conveniently machine washed. Wash without corrosive cleaning products. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. I have not tired washing them yet as they are new. I had a pair of the old style before they added the silicone strips on and I used to wash those in the washing machine with mild detergent and air dry. I had those gloves for over 10 years.

I have never clean them, I am using them for baking bread, but I think I need to get other kind of gloves since I am burning my hands...

I believe the wood has been oiled lightly. It would be necessary to strip the oil before refinishing.

The gloves are very long so you shouldn't have any problems with it getting down into the glove itself, however, I would sanitize them before taking them off to avoid coming into contact with your skin. Maybe have a bucket of bleach water ready to submerge the gloves while wearing them. Hope this helps. Happy weeding!

No, not too difficult but plan on getting at least one dirty finger. Start with clean, dry boots. Stick a finger in the jar and start smearing Sno-Seal all over the boots, but don't put it on too thick. After both boots are covered, go over them with an electric hair dryer (set on high) to get the stuff to soak into the leather. I guess you could use a cloth to apply the Sno-Seal, but then you miss half the fun!

It depends on how much use the gloves get and how rough you are on them (similar to a pair of shoes). Could be several weeks to several months or more. I have a glove that has lasted 6+ months

Avoid. It is a woven fabric hot oil will leak and burn your hand. Get a silicon glove instead

Yes they are waterproof. At least when they are brand new. I loved these gloves at first except hard to take off. But after about 5 uses for pulling pork the fingers started to split open. At first I thought maybe I cut it with a knive but after the next pulled pork all the fingers were cracked. Don't buy these gloves unless you would like a nice hand looking hot pad.

The inside of the glove is a quilted material of polyester (90%) and cotton (10%) and it is very soft to the touch. I never have even felt any heat from pans when using them so no, you will not get burned.

No. The company has the cleaning policy in a manual. I think they recommend soaking the gloves in water, but the manual has more complete information on this procedure.

No, there isn't. I just let it cool somewhat before removal. Burned fingers haven't been an issue for me.

Sorry, I do not know how to restore. That's a shame. I'm remembering that the All Clad care instructions recommended hand washing.

Sorry, but I have no way of knowing. Personally though, I trust Amazon and the products they represent. Also, my glove works fine and I haven't been burned at all!

Not true. But best to wait until the oil cools down somewhat, otherwise you risk getting hot oil onto your hands.

Closest thing I've done is using a snowblower, gloves didn't lose flexibility, kept my hands dry but I was only out in -10 degree for about 30 to 45 mins. Hand still got cold but if you worked in cold weather you know that happens.
