Not every housewife knows whether leather gloves can be washed in a washing machine or not.
The correct answer to this question is if the manufacturer's label is still on the product. Otherwise, you need to consider the type of leather and the method of caring for the product. After all, if you wash the gloves incorrectly, they can be damaged.
The housewives were told how to care for leather gloves.
Care methods
Depending on the type of material, you can wash them completely in a washing machine or by hand.
In some cases, only surface cleaning or lining cleaning is permitted.
Complete cleaning
1. Machine cleaning is allowed, but only on a delicate cycle and without spinning.
2. The water temperature should not be more than 30 degrees.
3. Instead of powder, use liquid detergents intended for wool.
But even in this case, the gloves may shrink and the leather may crack.
Hand wash
1. Washing is carried out in a container with cool water using shampoo, liquid soap and other compounds, but preferably containing glycerin.
2. Gloves are put on the hands, avoiding soaking and prolonged washing.
3. For cleaning, use a sponge, cotton pad or soft clean cloth.
4. After washing off the dirt and detergent, the gloves should be rinsed in clean water with glycerin (a few drops) or vinegar (3 tbsp./1 liter).
How to dry
You need to straighten the gloves so that the inner cavity remains open, leaving them at room temperature.
If the skin has become rough, it is kneaded with a wooden rolling pin and then lubricated with glycerin or castor oil.
