Motorcycle gloves – how to take care of them?
Opublikowane przez Agnieszka Babecka

Many of you forget about caring for motorcycle gloves – yet they are the most heavily used part of your riding gear. 

What do we recommend?

  • Moisturize/condition the inner palm side of the glove as often as possible (we recommend our Xzone leather milk).
  • Clean the gloves – your hands produce a lot of sweat containing salt. Salt makes leather harden.
  • Avoid contact with water; if the gloves get soaked – let them dry naturally (don’t put them on a radiator, etc.).
  • Before putting them in a wardrobe, basement, or bag – wipe off dust and dirt to avoid mold and bad odor.
  • Check the condition of seams – make sure they aren’t worn through. If a single seam comes undone, it’s easy to repair. If a hole appears – on a relatively small leather area – it can also be repaired, but sometimes it’s not that simple.
  • Clean the Velcro – so it works properly. If the Velcro “doesn’t grip” anymore, it can be replaced for a small cost.

Cleaning gloves at home is absolutely possible. The Xzone leather kit will help you perfectly with at-home care of your motorcycle gloves. For convenience, we suggest putting the glove on your hand before cleaning.

How to use the leather clothing cleaning and conditioning kit?

Step 1. Use the leather cleaner:

- Shake the bottle before use;

– Test the product on a small, hidden area (be especially careful on dyed leather or fluorescent shades);

– Apply to the leather surface and clean in circular motions, adjusting pressure – using the damp sponge included in the kit or a soft brush;

– Remove dissolved dirt with the sponge or a cloth rinsed in clean water.

Step 2. Set the gloves aside for a few hours so they can dry naturally. Do not hang them in the sun and do not place them on a radiator.

Step 3. Use the leather milk:

– Shake the bottle before use;

– Apply a small amount of product onto the microfiber included in the kit;

– Gently apply the product to the previously cleaned leather and spread it thoroughly over the surface;

– Repeat on the most dried-out areas.

Step 4. Use the silver-ion refresher:

Using the atomizer, spray the inside of the gloves with an even layer onto the previously cleaned and dried surface, especially in key areas prone to odors. Leave to dry.
