How do you clean your gloves??

[Golfaway]

That's how my glove currently looks. How do can I clean it if it's possible?

[SQ Bimmer]

I don't. I didn't know this was something people did. I do wear the same gloves as you though, love the warbirds.

[Fat Slice]

I buy new ones.

Yeah the Warbirds are good, very durable. I didn't know they were cleaned, but one guy told me today it could be cleaned so I was wondering.

Same here. Only so much use can be expected.

Ive heard of people hand washing them with just dish soap, but IMO thats a waste of time. By the time they get really grungy they are just about due to be replaced anyways.
Ive got a Mizuno Retroflex that Ive used for over a year now (about 3 rounds a week, April-November) and its just now starting to look dirty. The palm is starting to get some pretty serious wear, so Im just going to replace them instead of cleaning them.

[insomnijack]

Never attempted to, bit of wear isn't all bad.

Just buy a black one and the dirt won't show up.

I used to wear a black glove, but dang if it's not miserable on a hot day!

Keep your grips clean... and your glove will stay relatively clean, too.

If it's just a little stiff from sweat and a bit of dirt then put it on and wash your hands with just hot water - not super hot, just really warm.

Pay attention to really rubbing the points where you make the most contact because these are usually the dirtiest. Once you wash the outside really well pull the glove off and run the warm water through it. Now while the water is running through it grab each finger and rub it back and forth (so the insides scrub each other). After each finger has be scrubbed do the same with the pad of the palm. Hang it somewhere to dry - you're done.

There's no sense using soap, it'll dry out the leather. Anyway if just warm water doesn't get whatever it is off then it's like the others have said, it's time to put another glove into rotation. This is just to try and get rid of the stiffness that develops over a few rounds, not to save a crap glove.

Good luck.

Check back into the August threads. Several people posted how-to tips on this.

Leather gloves: Clean with a sponge, warm water and saddle soap (restores moisture). And, do it before the glove is trashed out.

Not sure what people do with synthetic gloves.

are you joking ... ? and just buy new ones. they're like 9-20 bucks ... even for someone as poor as me that's pretty negligible.

i have 4 gloves on my bag right now(my hands sweat pretty bad)... besides my newest titleist glove... your glove looks much newer than my other 3... i never even thought about cleaning a glove... i keep them till i wear a hole in it then toss it and buy another... with 4 gloves in rotation i think im good for awhile

Yeah I was gonna say that glove doesnt look bad. I started buying nike gloves and have gotten 7+ rounds out of them versus only a couple with a SciFlex FJ glove. I keep a couple spares in my bag and throw it out when I feel my grip suffering. Almost threw a club on the range a couple days ago and I knew it was time to toss it. Those nike gloves lasted me a lot of range time and coure rounds and i seem to tear up other gloves pretty quickly.

I use the rockbottomgolf method of getting clean gloves. 3-5 bucks each in a 3-pack for the most part.

(Back in my baseball days, having a skanky encrusted batting glove was more or less a status symbol. *heh*)

Ha I always used the Easton batting glove with the awesome padding on the palms and thumb. LOL way off topic

[SQ Bimmer]

are you joking ... ?

My hands sweat pretty bad, so ANYTHING that might increase the temperature inside my glove is going to make it worse...
