Cleaning Golf Glove in the Sink
The easiest and most effective way to clean your glove. After your round, just go home and quickly clean your glove to get the dirt and sweat out and get your glove back to feeling new!
Cleaning Golf Glove on the Golf Course
The process is pretty simple if you want to clean your golf glove while on the golf course. This isn’t the ideal way since it will take some time out of your round and you will need an extra glove for the rest of the round.
- Pour cold water on the spot(s) of the glove that need cleaned.
- Lightly rub the dirty areas until the dirt and grime are out of the glove.
- Let air dry either on the cart or hanging from your golf bag
Tips:
- It’s easiest and most effective to keep the glove on your hand while pouring water and cleaning it
- Bring another glove if you are going to clean it on the course, the glove will be damp for the rest of the round.
- If you only have one glove, here are some great alternatives to golf gloves while waiting for your glove to dry.
