To ensure the longevity of your black leather gauntlets for sword fighting, they should be cared for as follows after use: - Cleaning: Dust and dried mud should be carefully removed with a special rubber brush for suede or a crepe paper block. For heavier soiling or perspiration deposits, the gloves can be gently agitated in a solution of leather detergent and water, without rubbing or wringing them out.
- Drying: The gloves should never be dried on a radiator, in direct sunlight, or in a dryer. Instead, after washing, they should be reshaped and allowed to dry at room temperature, either hanging or lying flat in a well-ventilated area.
- Protection: Regular waterproofing with suitable care products provides additional protection against moisture and keeps the leather supple.
- Lining: The lining can be gently wiped clean as needed with a cloth lightly dampened with a 1:1 mixture of vinegar and water.
