Essential Guide to Glove Care
Hello Aniiu Glove enthusiasts! Today, we're delving into the world of glove care. Understanding the nuances of proper care is the key to preserving your gloves and ensuring their durability. Aniiu Gloves are made to last, so if you take care of them, they will last even longer.
How to treat your gloves and mittens:
Leather gloves:
To treat leather gloves, we recommend applying Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather when you first get your gloves or mittens. To apply, rub the wax into your gloves or mittens with your fingers, paying special attention to the seams. Remove any excess, and then air dry at room temperature overnight. Reapply as needed.
Fabric/leather gloves and mittens:
For fabric gloves such as our Ossa line, we recommend applying Nikwax Glove Proof when you first purchase your gloves or mittens. Depending on how often you use your gloves or mittens, reapply as often as needed. Nikwax Glove Proof is easy to use - just sponge-on the product, let it dry for 2 minutes, and remove excess with a damp cloth. Then air dry your gloves or mittens.
How to clean your gloves and mittens:
Gloves and mittens inevitably get dirty. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the accumulation of dirt, oils, and grime. For all Aniiu gloves and mittens, utilize a damp cloth and mild soap if needed to gently wipe away stains. Air dry at room temperature.
How to handle your gloves and mittens:
Treat your gloves and mittens with care. Avoid yanking them off, especially when damp, to prevent stretching or damage. Take your time and delicately ease them off to help preserve their original shape.
How to dry and store your gloves and mittens:
Most Aniiu gloves and mittens come with a carabiner loop on the back of the hand to hang dry finger-side up. This allows moisture to release from the cuff and dry properly. Once dry, store your Aniiu gloves and mittens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
By adhering to these simple guidelines, you can prolong the life of your gloves and mittens, keeping them not only functional but also looking great.
