Cleaning carving glove

[jmischel]

I did something dumb today. I wore my carving glove--the one I wear when doing my basswood carvings--while I was outside peeling bark from some found wood. Whereas it was smart to wear the glove, it's now terribly dirty. I'm certainly not going to put a nice clean piece of basswood in that hand.

The tag on the glove doesn't have cleaning instructions. The tag says: Handguard IIa by Whizard Protective Wear.

Any special precautions about washing this thing?

Jim,
I just put mine in the wash . Not all the stains come out but it is clean . that's what I do.

I have a Kevlar with the wire woven in and I've washed it 2 times in the sink by hand with mild dish soap. Not complaints.

Okay. I'll hand wash and hope most of the stains come out. Guess I should wear my work gloves or get another carving glove for the dirty work.

Hi Jim,

I have the Kevlar gloves from Woodcraft, they've been through the washer and the dryer countless times, no problems.

A website that sells these gloves says that they are machine washable.If you need the web address I'll get it for you.

Thanks, everybody, for the info. I'll throw mine in the washer next time.

Jim, I spray mine first with a pre spray stain remover, then into the wash.

I have the same gloves as Loretta. Every so often I throw them in the washing machine along with my flannel carving shirt and jeans... amazing what a little soap and water will do.
