Glove Care

This may give you some ideas:

I like a little microfiber cloth for cleaning. It picks up dirt well and doesn't transfer water as much. I also like Nokona glove conditioner, which is basically a thick petroleum jelly. Clean the glove the day before with a damp microfiber cloth. The next day apply the Nokona conditioner in sections. IMMEDIATELY after you apply it to a section of the glove use a dry microfiber cloth to clean/scrub it again. Repeat on the next section. You'll be surprised at how much more dirt you get out of it even though you cleaned it with a damp cloth the day before. I use the Nokona stuff 2 or 3 times a year.

Removing the conditioner immediately helps insure that you're not adding weight to the glove, or changing the color (much).

After every game I take a paper towel and soak it in water. Then I ring out as much water as I can and wipe all the dirt and grime off my glove. I usually use Dr.Glove on it about twice a year. Is this going to add weight to my glove? Also is there a glove dye on the market to dye certain parts of my glove back to black. The pocket of my glove is a tannish color and the rest of it is black. It looks kinda cool but at the same time kinda weird. Is there anything I can do to dye it back. If not thats fine too. Any and all other glove care tips are appriciated. Thanks Always

Anyone use lexol on their glove? I heard Lexol nf works well for conditioning and cleaning. Any dislikes? Thanks

I use Lexol NF and highly recommend it. Put a small amout on a soft clean white cloth and wipe off the dirt after games/practices. A couple of days later or before using it you can "buff it out" with a soft cloth ( Lexol says to use wool shearling). Glove will not get heavy and stays conditioned.

I also like the Nokona conditioner and use it once in a while. It helps give the leather a nice shine. It helps protect the leather. It can leave the leather a little sticky and pick up dirt... but you can easily clean the dirt off with the Lexol.

To dye black I use Angelus :

The Angelus dye is compatible with Lexol. Let us know how it all works out for you.
