how to wash suede gloves

You’ll often read or hear that silk is the most comfortable fabric to wear while cooking due to its soft, luxurious feel. But did you know that regular washings can turn silk into a warm, comfortable fabric that can double as a glove? If so, then you’ll need to learn how to wash silk gloves thoroughly so as to keep their warmth and softness. Here’s how to do just that.

Wash Your Hands Before Wearing The Silk

This may seem quite obvious, yet it’s worth mentioning. When you put on your silk gloves, they’re going to touch your skin. Like any other fabric, silk can absorb oils from your hands, making them slightly greasy. To keep the silk from clinging to your skin, wash your hands with soap and water before wearing them. This will also ensure that the gloves are not going to be a discomfort to wear because of dirty hands.

Use The Warm Water Washer

Did you know that many kitchen appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines, are a source of heat? This is why when you wash your hands with these appliances, the water will be hot. You can use this heat to your advantage when washing your silk gloves. While washing your hands, use the warm water washer to remove the dirt and oil from your fingers. When using the hot water washer, make sure to keep your hands submerged in the water for the full 20 minutes or more, depending on the setting.

Lay The Silk On A Dry Towel

Did you know that you can use a dry towel to lay your silk gloves on while cooking? Simply roll the shirt material around your hands to create a warm, comfortable space for the gloves, or use the oven mitt to protect your knuckles from the heat of the oven. Make sure to fold the silk in half before laying it on a dry towel, as this will make it easier for you to dry your hands before wearing the gloves again. When leaving the kitchen, dry your hands thoroughly before putting on your gloves.

So now you know how to wash your silk gloves to keep them looking and feeling great. Make sure to follow these guidelines so that your hands are always prepared and protected when wearing your gloves.
