LOVE YOUR CALMA GLOVES!

New Gloves - Pre-First Match Routine

Before using your gloves in a game, it’s essential to activate and condition the latex:

• Rinse palms with lukewarm water to remove any factory residue or storage powder.
• Lightly squeeze out excess water and do not wring THE GLOVES.
• Optionally: Use for light training or warm-up to break in the grip and feel.
• Slightly dampen palms before match day use; latex performs better, slightly moist.

Post-Match Care Routine

What you do right after a match or training session greatly affects glove durability.

Steps:

• Rinse off dirt, turf, and sweat under lukewarm water.
• Gently hand clean the palms with no soap unless absolutely necessary.
• Squeeze (don’t twist) to remove excess water.
• Air dry palms up in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
• Never: Leave gloves wet in your bag or dry them in direct heat or sun.

LOVE YOUR GLOVES - Deep Cleaning Tip (weekly):

• For heavy build-up: soak gloves in clean water for 10–15 minutes, then repeat the rinse/squeeze process.

Glove Care Steps

Step 1: Remove Dirt and Debris

• Lightly clap the gloves together to shake off any loose dirt or mud.
• Use a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth to gently clean the surface.

Step 2: Hand Wash Only – Never Use a Washing Machine

• Machine washing can damage the latex and stitching ON ANY GOALKEEPER GLOVES.
• Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild soap (avoid harsh detergents).
• For best results, use a glove-specific cleaning solution to preserve grip and latex quality.
• Submerge the gloves and gently massage them by hand to clean thoroughly.

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly

• Rinse with cool, running water until all soap is removed.
• Never twist or wring out the gloves; this can stretch and weaken the latex.

Step 4: Dry Naturally

• Press the gloves gently with a clean towel to absorb excess water.
• Air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources.
• Place paper towels or glove shapers inside to help maintain the gloves’ shape as they dry.

Extra Care Tips for Long-Lasting Performance

• Minimise water exposure; too much moisture can reduce grip.
• Always store in a cool, dry place; never keep damp gloves in sealed bags.
• Clean gloves regularly to extend their lifespan and maintain peak performance.
