Show Remember Gloves Must Always Be Immaculate Light gloves, especially, must be clean to give one that "well-groomed" appearance. This is easy if the gloves are washable. Just squeeze them out every night or so when you do your stockings. Try this way: Make rich suds with mild, neutral soap flakes, always keeping the water wa-ter lukewarm or cool. Put on the gloves and vah just as if you were washing your hands. If there are stubborn spots of soil, gently work dry soap flakes into the leather and continue washing. If the suds get dirty use a fresh lot of suds. (Chamois and doeskin gloves need not be put on the hands, just souse them around in the suds as you would a blanket). Remove the gloves by gently rolling roll-ing them from the wrists and rinse in clear water, lukewarm or cool, to remove particles of dirt. Then work them around in light suds of mild soap flakes. Leaving a little mild soap in the gloves helps to keep the leather pliable. Squeeze out the moisture. Don't twist, and roll in a dry turkish towel to remove excess moisture. Unroll at once, blow into shape and dry at moderate temperature. Don't freeze or put near excessive heat While slightly damp soften the gloves by gently stretching and working the leather between the fingers. Then finish the drying. |
