I don’t know if there is a standard operating procedure for removing too much oil ---- so this is just a guess. I would think the goal would be to remove as much oil as you can without damaging the leather. Too much oil will make the leather very soft and the glove will become “floppy”. Some might suggest shaving cream but shaving cream has “conditioners” that might actually add more oil to the leather. I think I would take a pan (about 1 quart) of warm water and add about 2 oz of mild detergent. Dip a small scrub brush in the pan of water/detergent and thoroughly scrub the glove (don’t place the glove in the water or it will become water logged). After scrubbing the complete glove use a clean, damp wash cloth (using clean warm water) and wipe the complete glove removing as much of the detergent/water/oil as possible. Rinse out the wash cloth and wring it as dry as you can and repeat this about three times. Immediately blot the glove with paper towels removing as much moisture as possible. After doing this your glove should be wet but not waterlogged. Place a baseball sized whiffle ball (one with holes) in the pocket. Place the glove a well ventilated area on a sweater drying rack and use a small household fan to help with the drying process. I would think that a couple of days under the fan the glove should be dry enough to use.
