What to do if your gloves get dirty?

  • For wet gloves – Smooth them out and let them dry naturally. Don’t use any external heat source, such as a hairdryer, radiator, or the sun to dry your gloves.
  • For heavy soiling – if you have Deerskin Thinsulate gloves, get them dry-cleaned from professional leather dry cleaners.
  • For light soiling (that hasn’t dried in yet) –
  1. Put your body wash in hot water to prepare a solution.
  2. Now dip a clean cloth in the solution and gently sponge down the outside leather of the gloves
  3. Try not to saturate the leather and dab off any excess moisture or wetness with a clean dry cloth
  4. Allow the gloves to dry naturally
  5. Wear your gloves during the drying process. This will stretch the leather and restore the shape of the gloves according to your hands.
