To care for and maintain your sewn leather gloves to ensure they stay in good condition for a long time, here are a few steps you can take:
Regular cleaning: Keeping your gloves clean is essential, as dirt and dust can accumulate on the leather surface, affecting its appearance and texture. To thoroughly clean your gloves, you can first wipe them gently with a damp cloth to remove most of the surface dirt and dust. Then, use a dedicated leather cleaner, choosing a mild and effective formula to avoid damaging the leather. Following the instructions of the cleaner, gently wipe the entire surface of the glove with a damp cloth or sponge, especially the stained areas. After cleaning, gently dry the gloves with a clean dry cloth, and then place them in a well-ventilated place to air dry, avoid direct sunlight or hot air drying, otherwise the leather will become hard or cracks will appear.
Avoid moisture: Moisture is one of the natural enemies of leather. Too much moisture can cause the leather to lose its softness and elasticity, and even cause discoloration and deterioration. Therefore, try to avoid immersing your gloves in water, especially when cleaning. If your gloves get wet, you should immediately remove the excess water with a clean towel and avoid drying them with heat or direct sunlight to prevent the leather from hardening or cracking. After removing the excess water, it is best to stuff the inside of the gloves with some newspaper or towels to help absorb the remaining moisture and maintain the shape of the gloves.
Use leather conditioner: Leather conditioner is an important tool for protecting your gloves. It can help keep the leather soft and shiny, and extend the life of your gloves. Choose high-quality leather care products, which usually contain natural oils and moisturizing ingredients to effectively nourish and protect the leather. Before using the conditioner, make sure the surface of the gloves is clean, then apply a small amount of conditioner with a soft cloth or sponge, and apply it evenly to the entire surface of the glove, especially at the seams and edges. Then, gently wipe the gloves with a clean cloth to remove any excess conditioner and make them shiny.
Avoid folding: Proper storage of gloves can prevent them from deforming and损坏。When not in use, it is best to hang them in a closet or drawer, or use a dedicated glove box or bag for storage. Avoid folding or compressing the gloves to avoid leaving obvious creases or affecting their appearance. If the gloves need to be stored for a long time, some soft cloth or newspaper can be put inside to help maintain their shape and structure.
Regular touch-ups: Touching up is an important step to maintain the appearance and luster of gloves. Leather polish can fill in fine scratches and wear marks, restoring the color and luster of the gloves. Choose a polish that matches the color of your gloves and apply it evenly to the surface of the gloves. Then, wipe gently with a soft cloth until the surface of the gloves shines. If the gloves have obvious scratches or wear, you can use a darker polish, or consider using a professional leather repair product for repair.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight: The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can cause the leather to discolor and harden, so try to avoid exposing your gloves to direct sunlight for a long time. When storing gloves, choose a cool and ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight, or use a glove box or bag with UV protection function for storage.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the seams and edges of the gloves to make sure they are not loose or damaged. Pay special attention to key areas of the gloves, such as the seams at the fingers and palms, and the edges of the gloves. If any looseness or damage is found, it should be repaired in time to prevent the problem from further deteriorating. You can use a professional leather repair kit to repair it, or seek professional leather repair service.
