GLOVE CARE
How to Wash?
1. If you want to get the most out of your goalkeeper gloves, wash them immediately after use with warm water (maximum 30° C).
2. Rinse and soak the gloves in the sink and make sure to rinse off all of the glove cleaner if you decided to wash with a solution; because leaving glove cleaner on the gloves could potentially cause damage.
3. Gloves should be hand washed, using your thumbs to gently rub away dirt; Applying too much pressure can cause pieces of the latex to tear. For this reason, we do not recommend using any type of brush or scrubber.
4. It is not necessary, but applying glove cleaner to the gloves will remove all dirt and speed up the process. Make sure you follow the instructions for the solution you purchased.
5. Let your gloves dry naturally, this will take about a day.

Where Should You Store Your Gloves?
If possible, store your gloves in a fairly cool environment, away from direct sunlight. Keeping your gloves in a damp place can cause mold and bacteria to grow and eventually damage your gloves.
Do not store your goalkeeper gloves without washing them.
Make sure the palms of your gloves do not touch each other when left to dry. If you do this, you may find that your palms are stuck together when you come back, and the latex may tear when you separate your palms. Additionally, do not allow the silicone/rubber back to touch the palms of the hand or puncture sites as this may cause a reaction. It will still perform well but may impact visually.
Because we use the highest quality contact latex, wear and tear is a natural process. Abrasion is caused by friction between the ball/ground and the gloves, meaning it can occur at any time (even after first use). This is common with all high quality latex and is not a material defect or cause for complaint.
Unfortunately, corrosion cannot be completely prevented. However, you can minimize this situation by following these tips:
- Good diving technique. Avoid heavy contact with the ground as this may cause excessive wear.
`- Keep gloves moist during use. Dry gloves are more susceptible to wear.
- Do not wear gloves when carrying heavy things (for example: goals).
