Cleaning Brushes for Baseball Gloves

[@chadrides914]

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for the Rawlings I Web relace video. I was trying to simply tighten the double X and could not sort it out properly so I relaced the double x with the help of your video. Take care Sir and much thanks to you.

Great insight. Appreciate it. Do you have any thoughts on saddle soap? Seeing a lot of mixed reviews

Hey Will! Thanks for reaching out! I love using Ballplayers Balm cleaner for cleaning gloves. I have used Saddle Soap on occasion as well as Fiebings glycerin soap, both are alright and do the job, but my preference is Ballplayers Balm. I like Ballplayers Balm because it dries really clean, does not discolor leather, and cleans the leather better than anything else I have tried.

The Glove Lab The Glove Lab Oh, nice. I will definitely check that out. I see a lot of the old guard in glove forums and beyond hold fast to Siebrings even in the face of a lot of cautionary tales. Good to know there’s another out there specifically aimed towards gloves. Will definitely check it out. And those otter brushes look amazing. I guess you use those in the cleaning process instead of wiping with microfiber? Have figured a brush would be faaaar superior in that process but I hardly see anyone incorporate. Thanks so much for getting back to me. Just started my journey into this amazingly gratifying world a few months ago (a bright quarantine spot). So grateful for the insight

Hey man thanx for the videos. I love to clean and relace gloves but I just bought a SSK Elite black, and it has a Lil bit of white paint I think not a lot but it's noticeable. Any suggestions on removing it

How do you clean the inside of your baseball gloves like down in the fingers?????

Your recent Insta restock post reminded me to reach out. Based on your endorsement, I’ve been using Otter Wax brushes for the past couple of months. Absolutely love them and thank you. Curious though, how often do you really use the spot-mid-strength brush (not horsehair)? Haven’t really found a situation to utilize that yet. Well, I guess I’m more nervous about damaging the leather. Do you find yourself being a bit more delicate when utilizing? Or is it fine to go at an area with same vigor as softer brush? Thanks so much for your time

Hey Will! I use the Tampico brush for most of my cleaning. It is a natural fiber than softens up a bit once its wet. I have found that it is gentile on the leather, but still does a great job removing grime and stains on the leather. I use the horsehair brushes for the labels.

[@willgowdy6133]

@@c.petroff1207 Oh, wow. Good to hear that it softens up. Been far too hesitant to use it. Have also been getting great results with just the horsehair but now suspect the Tampico may be a bit more efficient. Thanks for the insight!
