No. Compared to machine washing without a GloveBag, hand washing has so far been the best compromise to preserve the grip of your gloves for as long as possible.

Hand washing with goalkeeper glove cleaner is gentler on the latex, but it does not reliably rinse out dirt. Over time, this can lead to a slight yellowish discoloration of the latex.

Yes. Without the protective GloveBag, the washing machine drum grinds down the latex during the spin cycle — like Swiss cheese.

Inside the GloveBag, however, over 1,000 microfiber fingers clean extremely gently and protect the latex, while dirt is rinsed out thoroughly and reliably.

Yes. Regular detergents almost always contain aggressive chemicals such as bleach, alcohol, or fragrance that attack the latex of your goalkeeper gloves.

The result: brittle, dry latex.

Ideally, use GloveWash — specially developed for goalkeeper gloves and machine washing. It contains no aggressive chemicals and additionally cares for the sensitive latex.

Alternatively, you can use an ultra-sensitive mild detergent, which is usually also free from harmful ingredients such as bleach.

Fun fact: Your printed sportswear will also appreciate gentle detergents.

As often as necessary, but not necessarily after every use. What matters is washing your gloves regularly and whenever there is visible dirt, so that grime doesn’t settle into the latex.
