You can use it sort of like hand lotion. Put your gloves on your hands, squeeze a Hershey\u2019s Kiss amount of the cream into your palm, directly on the leather. Then, just like you would with hand lotion, rub the cream evenly all over the gloves. Make sure it is&nbsp;<em>fully absorbed<\/em>&nbsp;into the leather and pressed into the seams; seams are often the most vulnerable areas of your glove, to let water seep in. As you finish rubbing it in, if you think you missed an area, apply a little bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No baking. No need to wait for it &#8220;to set.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No mess. No stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>***But don&#8217;t forget&#8230;cleaning your gloves before you waterproof them will give you the best results. Waterproofing dirty gloves is like waxing a dirty car. Clean it first!***<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you clean your gloves?<\/strong>&nbsp;Maybe you made a snowball and the snow contained\u2026 some kind of animal excrement. Perhaps you dropped the gloves in a mud puddle. Or maybe you just wore those gloves all 34 times that you hit the slopes last year&#8230;and never washed them. Obviously, your gloves need cleaning. The best thing to do is put on the gloves, wet them with lukewarm water and scrub \u2018em up with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/waterproofing\/footwear-waterproofing\/footwear-cleaning-gel\/\">Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yes, we know it\u2019s called Footwear Cleaning Gel, but it\u2019s made to clean leather and all types of fabric and it works GREAT on gloves.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rinse and gently squeeze out the water without twisting.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/products\/waterproofing\/footwear-waterproofing\/footwear-cleaning-gel\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller-930x1024.jpg\" alt=\"821 Footwear Cleaning Gel 125ml Smaller\" class=\"wp-image-10521\" style=\"width:320px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller-930x1024.jpg 930w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller-136x150.jpg 136w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller-768x845.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller-324x357.jpg 324w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller-416x458.jpg 416w, https:\/\/nikwax.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/821_Footwear_Cleaning_Gel_125ml_smaller.jpg 1363w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Not just for shoes!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you dry your gloves?<\/strong>&nbsp;Dry them in an upright position, maybe over an empty beer or soda can. DO NOT dry your gloves with a hair dryer, or next to a heater, or do something rash like&nbsp;put them in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, that has actually happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the gloves have liners, remove them for easier and faster drying time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How often should you clean your gloves?<\/strong>&nbsp;It\u2019s best not to wash them too frequently. If they are muddy, or you spilled your beverage on them, clean them. Otherwise, once or twice a year is probably alright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you are paranoid about the leather EVER getting wet?<\/strong>&nbsp;You should probably invest in a few tubes of Waterproofing Wax for Leather. Carry one in your ski bag, keep a backup in your car&#8217;s glove compartment, and stash another bottle at home so that you can attack at the first sign of water absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you one to follow the manufacturer\u2019s recommendation?<\/strong>\u00a0For example, &#8220;once a month&#8221; is the recommended usage for a pair of POW leather gloves and it\u2019s a pretty safe recommendation for other leather gloves too. One tube of Waterproofing Wax for Leather should set you up for the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you more of a laid back, \u201cit\u2019s cool, I\u2019m sure the gloves will do their job\u201d type?&nbsp;<\/strong>Then at least apply the Waterproofing Wax for Leather the day you purchase the gloves or before their inaugural snow day. Your leather gloves will thank you by starting strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you made it through all of that and you&#8217;ve read this far, then you must be a dedicated leather glove owner and you want to do it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carry on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Looking for new leather gloves?
