Different materials may require different washing techniques. Therefore, first and foremost, it is important to determine the material from which your gloves are made before you start washing them. However, if you are unsure of the material used, we recommend washing the gloves manually instead.
Now based on the fabric of the gloves, there are certain things to be kept in mind. These are as follows:

Polyester gloves
Polyester is a synthetic fabric commonly used for making clothes. It is quite comfortable and very easy to care for. So, in case your gloves are made from polyester, they can be washed at a temperature of up to 30°C in a washing machine. However, due to its properties, polyester can be washed in cold water quite efficiently.

You can also use fabric conditioners after washing to give your gloves a soft feel. Furthermore, your gloves won’t require air-drying as they dry up pretty quickly under a ceiling fan.
Polyamide gloves
In case the gloves are constructed from polyamide fabric, you can wash them at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Going beyond this temperature might cause the fabric to shrink. And in case of lightly soiled surface, a mild soap can do the trick.
If you are washing them in a machine, a gentle spin cycle is recommended for both washing as well as air drying. A fabric conditioner can also be used while rinsing.

Polyester mesh is very sensitive to high temperatures. For this reason, it is important to wash the gloves in cold water and more importantly using your hands. And if you do wish to clean them in a machine, remember to use a laundry bag and the most-gentle setting.
Leather
Not all leather gloves are the same. In fact, each type of leather requires specialized care. For this reason, any leather care product should first be tried on the inside of the gloves. Oftentimes, manufacturers will indicate which agents are suitable for the specific leather. For a detailed guide, please refer to our section on leather gloves maintenance where we have explained in detail how this can be done.
Mixed fabric
Typically, a dirt bike glove is made from a combination of polyester, polyamide nylon, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride and neoprene. This mixed construction makes them more durable, allowing them to be washed in the machine. However, in case of trail riding gloves, we recommend manual wash, as these gloves have rubber reinforcements on the top to protect the rider against obstacles. As such, a machine wash is likely to damage them.
