The Mechanix Wear Original Gloves are machine-washable. Here's a detailed guide on how to properly wash your Mechanix gloves to maintain their performance and longevity:
Washing Instructions
-
Prepare for Washing: Remove any loose dirt or debris from the gloves.
-
Machine Wash: Machine wash the gloves in cold water to prevent shrinkage and color fading.
-
Mild Detergent: Use a mild laundry detergent. Avoid detergents containing bleach or oxidants, as these can damage the synthetic materials and affect the gloves' performance.
-
Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
-
Air Dry: Air dry the gloves. Avoid using a machine dryer, as the heat can cause the gloves to shrink, warp, or damage the synthetic materials. Lay the gloves flat or hang them up to dry in a well-ventilated area.
Key Considerations
- Frequency: Wash your Mechanix gloves as needed, depending on the level of soiling and use. Regular washing can help maintain their grip and overall performance.
- Material: Always check the care label on your specific Mechanix glove model, as some variations may have slightly different washing instructions.
- Alternative Cleaning: For lightly soiled gloves, consider spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. This can help extend the time between full washes.
Summary
To keep your Mechanix gloves clean and functioning optimally, machine wash them in cold water with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach or heat drying. Air drying is crucial to prevent damage and shrinkage.
