How to Apply Dr. Glove Foam Glove Conditioner

A clean and conditioned glove lasts longer.

Leather baseball gloves require special care to prolong their lives, and a new glove requires work to conform to the user's hand. Wrapping the glove around a ball creates a pocket that holds the ball during play. However, this activity causes the leather of the glove shows wear and tear. The glove gets dirty, and the oils used to tan the leather dry out. Without proper cleaning and conditioning, over time the the leather will lose flexibility and develop cracks. Dr. Glove is a foaming product that both cleans and conditions leather, helping to keep the glove supple and clean.

Things You'll Need

• Soft brush
• Rags

Instructions

1. Clean the loose dirt from the glove. Use a soft brush to clean around the laces and between the fingers.

2. Spray the Dr. Glove foam onto a rag. Rub the foam into the leather, starting with the dirtiest sections.

3. Wipe away any dirt that loosens.

4. Rub the foam into the clean leather with a fresh rag. Wipe away any excess.
