Post by: markyb23 on February 18, 2008, 22:59:34
Hi there,
              could anyone please tell me how to clean the  cheap, leather gardening gloves. I've got loads of them lying around. they always seem to end up mouldy and rock hard.
        Cheers-Marky. B :)

Handwash in 'Woolite'.....then rub a bit of saddle soap in and rinse. Cleans and conditions the leather. 8)

LOL @ Woolite, that advert cracks me up every time I see it.
Safe-tergent.  ::)

The dubbed voice makes it more laughable, the guy is on one of the shopping
channels, his voice is ok, I don't know why they dubbed over him.

At the risk of being shot down in flames, my Tescos has robust protective gloves at £1 a pair at the moment. Considerably less than local garden centres. I reckon a pair will last a season - and so, heretically to some - I treat them as disposables,  just on a slower replacement cycle than marigolds for washing up!

What is it with foxes and gloves? I lost several odd gloves when i firsyt moved to this house as fox cubs were having fun with mine that I had left out!

Must show off, I got a bargain on eBay the other week, TWO pairs of those dead expensive gold softouch gloves for £11 (normally £20 odd EACH)...one pair for home, one for the lottie..... ;D ;D ;D
