How do you clean leather gloves?

Answer 1

Go to any automotive supply store, find the detailing dept. buy a container of leather cleaner, follow the directions. Automotive leather cleaner, i have found to work really well.

First bought Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditioner for my beige leather seats.....did nothing to clean them (I'm using a horse hair brush). Than bought Autoglym leather cleaner.....also without any improvement. Went to detailer who suggested using Spray Nine on a white rag (white so the colour of the rag doesn't bleed to your seats from the Spray Nine.) This worked awesome, another advantage of the white rag was I could actually see how much dirt came off my seats. I of course conditioned my seats after I was finished cleaning them.

Maintaining the cleanliness of leather gloves can be done dusting them off with a soft cloth or towel.

Other ways of cleaning depend on whether the leather is finished or unfinished. For finished leather you can lightly dampen a cloth, and add a small amount of moisturizing soap to the cloth. Rub it into the leather until the soil has been released. Wipe clean with a clean lightly dampened cloth, and then buff with a dry towel.

For unfinished leather, saddle soap is recommended. Use a damp cloth to apply the saddle soap to the glove into a lather. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry.

To preserve the look of either type of leather, leather conditioners for finished leather and preservatives like Mink oil for unfinished should provide the best result.

There are dozens of leather cleaners available on the market. How do you choose which one is right for your leather?

In selecting leather cleaner, a performance wish list should contain:

--- effective cleaner that would gently lift ground-in soil from the leather.

--- degreasing agent to resolve topical greasy residue.

--- pH balanced to the leather so as to not damage the leather.

--- creamy consistency so you can see its application.

--- pleasant odor.

--- non-darkening formula for application to delicate leather.

A leather cleaner should be surfactant based for the best gentle, yet effective cleaning power. A surfactant will lift soil particles off the leather's surface for easy removal when you wipe away the soapy residue. It should also include a degreasing agent to resolve surface grease and oils.

The best application tool for cleaning leather is an exfoliating glove. It's a wonderful tool, allowing excellent finger dexterity to get into the crevices and creases. It's gentle abrasive action won't scratch the leather yet it helps to gently scrub away soil and grease.

Finally, a micro-fiber towel is the best tool for removing the soapy residue as it's lint free and very absorbent. So you are not just pushing the soil around the leather, rather picking it up off the leather's surface.

So it's a combination - the right cleaning chemistry and the right tools will produce the best results.
