    You can always just wipe the gloves down with deionized water. This should resolve most problems. Alternatively, you can mix a few drops of dish soap with warm water and apply the solution with a microfiber cloth.

    It’s generally not a good idea to put leather in the washing machine. As much as possible, stick to spot-cleaning your gloves, and avoid submerging them in water. If your gloves are really dirty, take them to a cleaner who was experience working with leather.

    Absolutely! A solution of water and mild, pure soap is a great option for cleaning leather. Dip a soft cloth in the soap and water mix and use it to wipe down your gloves.

    Yes, white vinegar is especially good for removing stains from leather. Mix up equal parts water and white vinegar and use it to gently wipe or blot away dirt and stains with a soft, lint-free cloth.
