Instructions

    • 1

      Open the gloves wide open so air can flow through them immediately after playing hockey.

    • 2

      Fill a spray bottle with one part vinegar and three parts water. Spray the inside and outside of the gloves with the solution. Do this immediately after taking off the gloves.

      Dry the gloves with a towel and let air dry. Do not put them in the dryer since the heat may shrink them.
