cleaning gloves

[Jim]

so my Held Phantom gloves are getting a little smelly.
what do you guys do to clean or unstink them?

i've been told to try one of those dry cleaning bags and toss it in the dryer.

ride them on the street during a rain storm.

not gonna happen gino. i've got last year's Conti DOT tires on my street bike. if it's wet out, i'm not riding.

mine got really dirty and soaked a few weeks ago. i had been wondering about how i was going to clean them.

i put them on, ran warm soapy water over them and got all the mud off.

then let them dry. good bad or indifferent there clean.

yes i wear held phantoms in the dirt.
as far i know there the best i can buy and have save my hands on more occasions then i care to remember

[Jim]

well i just called Held USA directly and asked. he said to use dish soap inside and outside, rinse it out really good, and make sure they air dry.

the Helds have Kangaroo skin on them, so i wasnt sure if they required anything special for cleaning.

no mention of leather conditioner after cleaning?
the guy that was pitted next to me at the last Bomo day had a great idea. he had one of those fans that everyone puts their helmets on but he took some pvc pipe and cut some slits in it so it would attach to the fan and drill some holes in the top part to let air blow out in all directions inside the glove. pretty good idea.

Yup.

[waveman]

Jim , have you tried a little spray of fantastic and fabreez in ea glove and then sitting out in the hot sun for a day or try those sneaker de stink things

[Jim]

I'm going with the dish soap route first, just to clean them. Maybe some fabreeze after

[G21forme]

Febreeze sport is designed so they say for sports equipment that rarely gets cleaned. I douse all my gear after a ride and it seems to help.
