How to Use Glove Salve

Start with clean, dry leather. Remove dirt and buildup using Leather Spot Cleaner or a clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry completely.
Apply a small amount. Using your fingers or a lint-free cloth, work a thin layer of Glove Salve into the leather with gentle circular motions.
Allow it to absorb. Let the conditioner absorb for approximately one hour, then wipe away any excess.
Repeat only if needed. Particularly dry leather may benefit from additional thin applications.
Allow to cure. For best results, allow approximately 24 hours before returning your glove to regular use.

Avoid over-conditioning. A little Glove Salve goes a long way.

Glove Salve vs. Glove Lotion

Both products are designed to condition leather, but they serve different purposes.

Glove Lotion has a lighter consistency and absorbs more readily, making it ideal for routine conditioning and dry leather needing additional moisture.

Glove Salve has a thicker consistency and provides additional surface protection, making it an excellent finishing treatment or periodic conditioner.

Complete Your Glove Care Routine

CLEAN: Start with Leather Spot Cleaner to remove dirt and buildup.

CONDITION: Apply Glove Lotion when the leather needs additional conditioning.

PROTECT: Finish with Glove Salve when additional conditioning and leather protection are needed.

Leather care note: Glove Salve may darken certain leather finishes. Always test in an inconspicuous area first. Not recommended for suede, nubuck, or pull-up leathers.

Because every glove has a story worth preserving.
