Preparing Your Gloves
When you receive your SAVIOUR GK Goalkeeper Gloves, they’re already match-ready—with no full pre-wash needed. However, there are a few important steps to follow before first use:
Carefully remove the protective plastic film from the palm. Take your time and avoid pinching the plastic, as this can lift or damage the latex.
Thoroughly water the latex. Lightly soak the palms with clean water and gently towel-rinse. This activates the latex and helps achieve maximum grip from the first use.
Avoid soaps or scrubbing, which can weaken the latex.
With SAVIOUR GK, a careful film removal and proper latex activation are all you need to ensure your gloves perform at their best from day one.
Why You Don’t Need A pre-wash with SAVIOUR GK goalkeeper Gloves?
Washing Your Gloves
To keep your SAVIOUR GK gloves performing at their best, always keep the latex slightly moist during use. Regular, gentle cleaning is key to preserving grip and extending glove life.
Rinse your gloves in lukewarm water (never hot, as it damages latex). Use a small amount of our Regen Glove Wash, working it into a light lather without scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly to remove all residue, as leftover product can weaken grip over time.
Consistent care = consistent performance.
Drying Your Gloves
After cleaning, gently squeeze out excess water with a towel—never twist or wring the gloves, as this can damage the latex. Lay them flat or hang them in a cool, ventilated area, keeping them away from direct heat or sunlight. Proper drying maintains latex grip and prevents odours or mildew, but avoid over-drying, as this can make the latex brittle.
Storing Your Gloves
Once your gloves are dry, store them in a glove bag or a Premium Glove Bag to protect them from dust and damage. Keep the palms slightly moist to maintain optimal grip, as completely dry latex can become brittle and crack. Regularly check for signs of wear and address any issues early to keep your gloves match-ready.
Q&A Section
Do I need an account to place an order?
Gloves should be cleaned after each use to remove dirt and maintain their gripping properties.
Can I just use regular soap for cleaning goalie gloves?
No, it’s recommended to use a cleaner specifically designed for goalkeeper gloves to ensure the latex isn’t damaged.
What’s the best way to dry gloves quickly for a game?
Never expedite drying with heat. If you’re in a rush, blot with a towel and air dry as much as possible.
How should goalkeeper gloves fit to ensure the best care?
Gloves should fit snugly but comfortably. Too tight, and they may tear; too loose, and they’ll wear prematurely.
By adhering to this comprehensive glove care regimen, goalkeepers can assure peak performance and a prolonged lifespan for their gloves. Trust Saviour GK for all your glove care needs, and never compromise on the quality of your most important tool on the pitch.
