Hello guys, after reading the waterproof gloves thread I started wondering...

How am I suppose to clean my Leather Gloves?

I have two pairs: a clothe based and my leathers.

I used the cloth for my day to day commute and can easily wash them.

but for my leathers, I reserve them for longer out of town trips. But I've never washed them since because it's leather. It's not like I can use soap or water right? baka masira lang ang napakamahal at precious kong leather gloves :L

any info would be appreciated guys :)

yes you can use soap and water but not laundry soap. use your ordinary bath soap. after washing, towel them to remove the excess water then hang them dry inside your room and not under the sun or you'll ruin the leather. when they're dry you can swab them with oil (baby oil, not engine oil :D) moistened cotton to give them shine and a brand new look.

Here are a few sites to help you take care of your leathers.

Enjoy!

check mo muna model ng gloves mo! mayroon kasi certain leather gloves na ayaw ipa wash ng manufacturer kasi daw baka masira.

All great tips guys!

Hardliner thank you for the "idiots guide" haha tama naman mahirap mag "Ass_U_Me" but honestly would never have thought of baby oil :)
