If you have a pair of mechanical gloves you’ve been using for a while and want to give them a good wash, you’re in the right place! In this blog post, we’ll teach you the right way to clean your mechanical gloves so that they look brand-new and shiny like the first time you used them.
Get Everything You Need In Advance
When you get the chance to wash your mechanical gloves, make sure you have everything before you start. This means either paying close attention to the instructions on the packaging or preparing in advance so that you can get the job done quickly and with ease. If you’re not sure what items you might need, make a list of what you need and what you don’t need, and then prepare a little before washing day. This will help you go through the process more quickly and easily. If you do need an item that isn’t mentioned on the list, make sure you bring it yourself on washing day so that they don’t run out and it doesn’t affect your work.
Use The Right Detergents And Wipes
Just like with your regular hand sanitiser, detergents and wipes for bathroom use are your best friend when it comes to keeping your hands feeling fresh and clean. When you use the wrong products or the wrong way, it can ruin your hands' feel and look. To save you the effort and financials that come with experimenting, we’ve decided to tell you which products and methods we use for washing mechanical gloves so that you can hit the shower or bath quickly and confidently.
The Inside Out Machine Wash
If your hands are on the inside the mechanical gloves when you wash them, the soap can run down along the ridges of your knuckles creating a streaky appearance. To avoid this, make sure you do your hands in the opposite order-first the thumb, then the index finger, and lastly the pinky-as this will prevent the soap from running into the cracks and crevices that could otherwise hold it hostage for a long time. Also, make sure you do your nails before you start as this will make it much easier to remove the excess dirt and grime. When you’re done, use an anti-streak serum to prevent this from happening in the future. You’ll also need to reapply this regularly to maintain the appearance of your hands - especially if you have a lot of sweating or activity during the day. If your hands are still wet after you’re done with your wash, use a hand sanitiser to prevent any potential outbreaks of hand dermatitis.
The Dry-Erase Rub
To make your hands look perfect, use a dry-erase pen to rub out any rough edges or bubbles that might remain from the washing process. This will help reduce the ‘busy' hand effect that can appear on certain fabrics such as leather or synthetic materials. Once you’ve finished, use an oil-free hand sanitiser to give your hands a quick freshness boost before you go back out into the fray. You can also use this time to gently massage your palms to work out any kinks.
Wash And Iron Your Hands
There might come a day when you’ll need to wash your hands again but for now, you can use the iron on the dry and freshly washed gloves to give them some extra shine and protection from the elements. This is especially useful for those leather or vinyl-made gloves that tend to get a bit tatty on the outside from water and sweat damage during the day-to-day hand-washing process. If you need to use a product like hand cream to get the job done, go right ahead!
At the end of the day, your hands are the crown you wear proudly over your heart. They’re also the ones constantly on display for the world to see, so make sure you do your best to keep them looking their best! Be sure to wash your hands regularly, use the right detergents and wipes for a quick and easy clean, and always ensure that your nails are trimmed and free of any rough edges. Also, dry your hands on a regular basis with a dry-erase pen to remove any bubbles or oddities that could make your hands look a little less than perfect. Finally, use a little oil on your hands before you start to rub them to get rid of any remaining dirt and grime. You’ll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your hands are looking their best as you go about your day. Thanks for reading! We hope this article will help you better understand how to clean your mechanical gloves so that you can hit the beach or pool party looking chic as ever!
