Washing Instructions for White Cotton Gloves
White cotton gloves have been around for hundreds of years. In the past white gloves were
considered an essential part of a person’s wardrobe. Today, white gloves continue to be used for many different purposes beyond formal occasions. In any case, being white, these gloves will get soiled or dirty so we thought it would be helpful to offer some instructions due to the numerous requests we get from our customers.
These instructions are based on our 100% White Cotton Gloves.
First, inspect the gloves for any stains or spots. Our gloves can be machine washed on gentle cycle but hand washing is also sufficient.
If stains or spots are present, prepare the gloves for washing by placing stain remover on any of the stains or spots. Rub the stain remover into the stain using a small, soft-bristled brush. Let them sit for several minutes but no longer than 10.
Wash the gloves using cold water and use a small amount of bleach to bring out the whiteness in the gloves. It is best to wash the gloves by themselves. Washing gloves with other clothing increases the chance you might lose a glove or damage them. Never pour bleach directly onto a glove. This can damage the fabric and stitching. Always dilute the bleach in water.
You can machine dry the gloves using a cool dryer temperature but it is best drip dry or lay them flat to dry.
Note: Cotton gloves will shrink if washed in hot water or dried using a hot temperature.

How many nights can you wear gloves cotton before you wash them
Hi Michelle, You should wash gloves treated with a cream or Vaseline on a routine basis to avoid any bacteria growth unless the cream is antibacterial. I hope this helps. Thank you, The Glove Guru
Can I wash them in a bucket and what do I use to get rid of the stains when I’m washing them?
We do not know what gloves you are washing but if they are white cotton, simply add bleach.
