is there a generally-accepted process for cleaning and then conditioning a glove?

DD just completed her last Fall tournament.
Has a 1yr old Vinci, that we havent touched once yet in regards to maintenance.

wondering how I should clean, before applying conditioner?
just water? or something more?

thanks!

I'm not sure about the cleaning part, but to condition the glove we just use gel shaving cream.

I think less is more in this case. I think my kids do it once a season, normally after Fall ball. Just a very light coat and wipe it off after it sits for a while. It seems to work.

We use Coconut Oil.... inside and out, gloves and cleats.... Anti-Bacterial... Walmarts

Never cook her anything unless the Coconut Oil is used.... melt it and mix 50/50 with baking soda, to brush teeth & deodorant...and much more... :cool:

I lightly moisten a paper towel to wipe down DD glove to get the dirt off. Then buff with a rag and condition with Nokona a few times a year. I like the Nokona cream because you can use as little as you want and does not make the glove any heavier.
