A guide to winter care for your handmade leather gloves
Leather, with its timeless appeal and luxurious feel, graces our lives in the form of jackets, bags, shoes and, of course, warm leather gloves from Misuri. But should they occasionally show stains and dirt before the next winter, now is the time to start gently cleaning them so you can get a lot of enjoyment out of your warm leather gloves. The good news is that with a little know-how and a few readily available materials, you can effectively clean minor stains on your leather goods.
1. Pre-cleaning and moistening of your leather gloves
Before you begin the process of cleaning and discovering how to wash your cashmere lined gloves, it's crucial to remove any coarse dirt and debris from the surface of the leather. Gently brush or shake off any loose particles to prevent them from becoming lodged in the leather's delicate fibers. Then, dampen a soft cloth with distilled water and gently wipe the affected area of the leather. Distilled water is employed to prevent the formation of unsightly lime stains on the leather and to ensure a flawless finish.
2. Gentle cleaning and stain removal
Do not soak the leather when cleaning, but dab off any remaining dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid vigorous rubbing, as this could damage the delicate surface of the leather. For stubborn stains that resist initial cleaning attempts, use a leather cleaner designed specifically for smooth leather, available in stores or drugstores. Alternatively, you can make a cleaning solution by dissolving mild hair shampoo in lukewarm distilled water to remove stubborn stains.
3. Methodical procedure and drying
Do you possibly have an unlined leather glove from Misuri that seems a little stained from previous winters. No problem if you take a step-by-step approach to cleaning. Treat one section at a time, allowing each piece to air dry completely before moving on to the next. This systematic approach will ensure even cleaning and prevent the leather from being exposed to too much moisture, which can compromise the integrity of the leather. Once the leather glove is thoroughly dry, apply a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and restore lost moisture. Special leather conditioners or beeswax can be used for this purpose. To protect your leather from future stains, apply a waterproofing spray as a final protective measure.
4. Get professional help for your leather gloves

Visit the Misuri store, where qualified professionals will treat your leather items with special care and attention.
