how to clean vintage gloves

I have been meaning to clean my vintage gloves for a long time but only recently I have the time to do so. It was an easy and direct cleaning process but I googled for cleaning tips to ensure that I do not ruin the vintage gloves.


What you need:
Vintage gloves
Basin
Detergent
Lukewarm water
Plastic bag (optional)


Fill basin with lukewarm water

Add detergent and let the vintage gloves soak for about 15 minutes. Thereafter, rinse with lukewarm several times to remove soapy water. Squeeze gently.

Lay the vintage gloves on plastic bag to dry them in a shaded area. Do not dry the vintage gloves directly under the sun.

Once the vintage gloves are cleaned, I can not wait to accessorize them with my vintage outfit. Stay tuned!
