Maintenance and Care

Proper care extends the life of your gloves and maintains their protective qualities.

Cleaning:

• For light dirt, wipe the gloves with a damp cloth.
• For heavier soiling, hand wash in cold water with mild detergent.
• Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the glove material.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.

Drying:

• Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Do not tumble dry.

Storage:

• Store gloves in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep away from sharp objects or chemicals that could damage the material.

Troubleshooting

• Reduced Dexterity: Ensure gloves are the correct size. Oversized gloves can reduce tactile sensitivity. Refer to the sizing chart in the "Setup and Sizing" section.
• Premature Wear: Verify that the gloves are being used for their intended light-duty applications. Using them for heavy-duty tasks or with abrasive materials beyond their rating can cause rapid wear.
• Skin Irritation: If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Ensure gloves are clean and dry before each use. If irritation persists, consult a medical professional.
