gloves are smelly :O

I've had the same pair of JT concept gloves since 1995 - they get chucked in the machine along with the rest of my gear after every day's play and still look great....and smell lovely

You tell your mom to get back in the kitchen, and make you some pie!

Then take your gloves and go to a sink and give them a good hose down, use a small dab of soap too, just be sure to rinse it all out.

If you are using Dye gloves like myself. be prepared for a flood of black dye to fill up your sink. I had no idea so much access crap was left inside my gloves.

Go put them in the washer, its not going to do anything

Turn the gloves inside out, then throw them in the washer (cold water) with everything else. It won't hurt the gloves a bit. After the wash is done, set them aside on top of the dryer.

Machine wash isn't a problem, it's machine dry that will ruin them. The heat will shrink the glove fabric, but not any plastic and stitching on the backs of the hands, so they will end up falling apart eventually. Extremely hot wash water or a faulty dryer could also melt the plastic (like what's on the old JT Rave & Kevlar gloves).

If the gloves are still nasty, spritz 'em with some Fabreeze, then stuff a fabric softener sheet into the palm of each glove and store them that way.

i put a lil' bit of dish soap across my fingers, slide em in the gloves, drip a little more on the palms of the gloves, then rub them together under warm running water for like 5 minutes til the water comes out non-soapy... then I take the gloves off and run the water inside for a bit.

once I'm done, I usually squeeze as dry as possible, and leave them on my dashboard, on a piece of papertowel, for a day or two.

LIKE BRAND NEW, I TELL YOU!!!

and I do this with JT gloves, Dye gloves, and Redz gloves. all turn out great. --Dave

I wash mine after every time of playing. I have Dye 02 gloves. They are holding up just fine

I don't know where you live, but if you can, keep some surf wax in them. I do that to my hockey bag and it works really well.

This happens all the time with my hockey gloves.. From all the sweat along with the paint, etc I bet they stink.... I usually wash my hockey gloves in the washing machine w/ a little murphy's oil soap b/c of the leather palms but you can wash Paintball gloves probbaly like you wash hockey equipment, with some Tide along with a small bit of amonia to get the funk out... (i have to do that to my hockey gear that doesn't have leatehr).

ok ok.. geeze.. i washed them two times and they are almost brand new again!
thanks for the reassurance

[Albinonewt]

I tend to forget that I put my JT gloves in my cargo pants' pockets and they get washed by accident. They still wear fine, look new, and smell nice.

Ugh, now to get away from this thread. I feel like an armed Martha Stewart.

um, without the stock fraud. I never bothered with ImClone.

i turn mind inside out, since they are half fingered, thats just kinda how they come off.

then, I throw em in with my regular wash, then air dry..

work fine after that.

i also just throw mine in the washing machine with my pants and jersey... i have the 2k2 dye core division gloves. Only problem i have is that they STAIN my hands black... and no matter how much i was them, they always stain .
