Take Care of Your Gear. It'll Take Care of You.

Proper care means longer life, full protection, game-ready gear all season.

General Gear Care (Apparel, Sliders, Leggings, Headgear)#

Washing

• Machine wash warm, mild detergent only.
• No bleach. No softeners. No harsh chemicals. They break down padding and coatings.
• Turn inside out first. Protects logos, cuts surface wear.
• Padded gear (GK leggings, sliders, arm guards): use a mesh laundry bag.

Drying

• Tumble dry low or air dry.
• Skip high heat. Dryer, radiator, direct sun, all damage elastic and padding.
• Pull it out promptly. Keeps compression intact.

Storage

• Dry completely before storing. Every time.
• Breathable bag, cool, dry place.
• Away from dirty cleats and socks.
• `Silica gel packs handle the moisture.

Usage

• Training daily? Rotate gear to spread the wear.
• Fit matters. Too tight strains stitching. Too loose cuts protection.
• Rinse mud and sweat after play. Extends life.
• Padding flat or elastic loose? Time to replace.

Goalkeeper Glove Care#

Before First Use

• Pre-wash in warm water, no soap. Air dry.
• Or use GloveGlu Wash & Prepare for best results.
• Strip the protective film off the latex before play.

Before Each Game

• Dampen palms under warm water 2 hours before kickoff. Activates grip.
• Keep palms moist, not soaked. Towel-wrapped in your bag until game time.

During the Game

• Extra stickiness needed? GloveGlu spray on palms.

After Each Use

• Rinse in warm water, as soon as you can.
• Hand-wash only. No machine, no scrubbers, no harsh detergents.
• Air dry naturally. Away from heat and direct sun.
• Don't leave gloves in your bag. Latex dries out and cracks.

Storage

• Cool, slightly moist environment.
• Not too wet (mold), not too dry (brittle latex).
• Palms apart. Pressed together, they stick and tear.

Durability Tip

• Pushing off turf, use your fists, not open palms. Cuts latex abrasion.
• Normal wear after first use is expected. That softness is what gives you grip.
