Put the gloves on your hands. This will allow you to thoroughly wash hard-to-reach areas and better control the cleaning process.
Lightly dampen the gloves with water. To do this, place them for a couple of seconds under running tap water. It’s important to just moisten them a little and not soak them completely.
Use a bar of mild saddle soap or cream soap for cleaning. Saddle soap is specially designed for washing leather products, so it’s more preferable, but liquid soap will also do the job. Lather your gloves, paying special attention to hard-to-reach and heavily soiled areas. Do not rub too hard to avoid damaging the leather.
Rinse off the remaining soap under running, slightly warm water. Your movements should be similar to those you make when washing your hands. Pay attention to any soap residue. Everything must be thoroughly clean and rinsed.

❗ Never soak gloves in water and avoid machine washing. Leather is a delicate material that doesn’t tolerate excessive moisture and aggressive treatment.
