WASHING PROCEDURE
1. Put gloves into machine. Note the maximum weight of the machine and calculate that 1 pair weights ca 400gram.
2. Apply Detergent in the tray for main-wash. Usually this is marked with “II”. (Recommended dose: 3ml/kg) – Most important is low alkaline value. –
Example: 2kg of gloves = 6ml detergent
3. Apply softener. (Recommended dose: 15-30ml/kg)
4. Turn the machine on and set to delicate-wash. This program is gentler to the leather thanks to less mechanical abrasion on the gloves. The gloves are cleaned thanks to the detergent and temperature.

DRYING
Dry the gloves in a drying-cabinet 60°C for 240 minutes or in a warm-room over longer time.
DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
If possible, add some uncoloured leather wax to the gloves after drying. This adds dexterity and water repellence.
