Not that I know baseball gloves, but I know leather. It’s generally a bad idea to expose your leather to a great deal of water, as it can dry it out. The best thing to do is use a leather cleaner and conditoner on it. I’m sure they make one specifically for baseball gloves.
In extreme cases, I have washed my leather goods in the washer using this detergent that is specifically designed to be used for washing leather in the washer http://www.leathertherapy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187 It’s always turned out well. But definitely a last resort.
NO!!!!!
no, its made out of leather and will crack, go to a sports store and clean it with something labeled Baseball Glove Cleaner, or clean it with a damp paper towel or washcloth but dont soak it
no. dont wash it in a machine… wipe it down with something damp and non abrasive…
No no no and a million times no. It will ruin the leather and make it really bad and demented. Just let it sit in the sun and then get some baseball glove cleaner from a sporting goods store.
