Learn how to properly apply glove oil for effective leather conditioning and maintenance.

0 views

To use glove oil, start by applying a small amount to a clean cloth. Rub the cloth onto the glove’s leather, focusing on less flexible areas. Ensure even distribution to prevent oversaturation. After applying, work the glove by repeatedly opening and closing it to help the oil absorb. Leave the glove to sit overnight and wipe off any excess oil the next morning. Regularly condition your glove but avoid over-oiling, as it can weaken the leather.

  2. Can I use any oil on my leather gloves? No, it's essential to use products specifically designed for leather, as some oils can damage the material or lead to discoloration.
  3. What if I accidentally over-oil my gloves? If you over-oil, gently wipe the excess with a clean cloth and let the gloves sit. Avoid using any additional oil until needed.
