Instructions

    • 1

      Wash the gloves by hand after each use with mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. Hook and loop (Velcro) fasteners should be closed to prevent debris from attaching.

    • 2

      Rinse the gloves in warm water until all the soap is removed. Soap residue could cause premature aging of the glove by causing the glove to crack.

    • 3

      Straighten the gloves to remove wrinkles and place on a towel to dry away from direct sunlight.

    • 4

      Remove debris from fasteners with a crochet hook or toothpick. Hook and loop fasteners are fast and easy to adjust to any wrist size. Fasteners are used to give a snug fit around the wrist.
