Cleaning golf gloves is a simple process that can help you extend the life of your gloves and improve their grip on the club. Here’s how you can clean your golf gloves:
Prepare a bowl of warm water: Fill a bowl with warm water and add a small amount of mild soap or detergent.
Soak the gloves: Put your golf gloves in the bowl of warm water and let them soak for about 15-20 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt or sweat that has accumulated on the gloves.
Scrub the gloves: After soaking, take the gloves out of the water and use a soft-bristled brush or cloth to gently scrub them. Be careful not to scrub too hard or use any harsh chemicals as this can damage the gloves.
Rinse the gloves: Rinse the gloves thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap or detergent residue.
Dry the gloves: Gently squeeze the excess water out of the gloves, then lay them flat on a clean towel to air dry. Do not put them in the dryer or use any heat sources as this can shrink or damage the gloves.
Store the gloves: Once the gloves are dry, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will help maintain their shape and keep them in good condition.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your golf gloves clean and in good condition for many rounds to come.
