[@shannonheathcliffmul]

basic leather maintenance is such a skill, everybody should be doing this every month , not just gloves just get out all your and look after it boots, jackets and bags they all need it

[@csquaredboxing]

💯👍🏼

[@LeoG-r2k]

How often should i apply leather conditioner tu the glove?

[@LeopoldoRamirez]

My Necalli gloves look and feel brand new because of this video. Thank you Carlos

[@csquaredboxing]

Happy to help!

[@Muhomor83]

Looks like Sabas is your favorite so far :))

[@shuffle6260]

Shove a pair of bamboo socks inside the gloves right after a workout. Bamboo socks are super absorbent! Spray Tide Antibacterial fabric spray or Febreeze Touch fabric spray on the inside and leave the gloves open in front of a fan or small blower. My gloves have always stayed fresh. Also have multiple wraps and wash your hand wraps every week or two. 🥊

[@sgeonanga]

thanks for the info carlos. my winning gloves were looking rough since i got them 3 months ago and now they are looking almost brand new again.

[@csquaredboxing]

Glad you got them back to life

[@fs2themax]

I use Green Glove Spray from lace n loop for the exterior and interior of my gloves with a microfiber towel. I also use charcoal inserts or the glove air dry system for Barry’s. Leather wipes once a month to keep the leather conditioned.

[@csquaredboxing]

Thats dope man, thanks for sharing your method!

[@wm.h.9123]

How does it work to clean outside of boxing gloves? Also, what are the leather wipes and drying system you’re talking about?

[@dbgrand]

Fill old, washed socks with sillica gel and you will have nice moisture remover.

[@csquaredboxing]

Very good idea as well!

[@HABACHII]

Thank you for making this video. Im gonna do this with my topboxer win1 gloves.

[@csquaredboxing]

No prob!

[@reddevil211287]

Cleto Reyes' online care guide also suggests you can use petroleum jelly as a leather conditioner, works really well for me to hydrate it.

[@csquaredboxing]

👍🏼🥊

[@frankthetank1993]

How often should I clean my new gloves if I use them for two hours a day, 3-4 days a week? Love your informative videos man

[@csquaredboxing]

I’d say once a month

[@Dr-Grayson]

Other thing an old toothbrush is great for is cleaning your mouth piece, getting in there with a brush and some soap and water or even toothpaste itself to clean of your mouthpiece is always a good idea.

[@csquaredboxing]

I agree, thanks for the advice as well!

[@secredeath]

Lol i use Meguires leather condition for car seats on my gloves and my honda car seats

[@csquaredboxing]

Meguires makes some good stuff

[@almaperro]

I have used rhat on my gloves but my only gripe is that it leaves them a bit too oily. I have to really take a lot of it off.

[@StrivingFR]

I appreciate this bro fr. Lol was trying to find a way of how to clean the inside of my gloves. Peace and blessings. 🙏🏿❤️

[@csquaredboxing]

No prob! 👍🏼🥊

[@jerseyltd]

This video was EXACTLY what i was looking for.

[@Robo1]

I have read dish soap is bad for leather because it´s corrosive, or am I wrong?

[@rayg1497]

True. Dishwashing soap removes oil; hence the natural oils in the leather. Really harmful for genuine leather. That’s why dishwashing soap is never to be used on vehicles. It destroys the plastic (oil) clear coat. I’m surprised carlo doesn’t realize this

[@combat_corp]

BRO! Two in a row! I was gona upload mine next week! Haha

[@csquaredboxing]

Lol! All good man, appreciate the support!

Great variety of content. Keep growing the channel you're doing a good job. Also I'd like to see you review adidas and topten boxing gloves. Peace.

[@csquaredboxing]

Appreciate it! I’ll try to get my hands on some

[@mbaadiablo]

i bought reyes fight gloves leather smelling very strong

[@csquaredboxing]

Yes very strong smelling leather!

[@JohnC-xu3kq]

Great video! How long would you say your gloves last on average until they start to smell no matter what you do? And do gloves with cloth like liners stink up faster than gloves with nylon? Ive had hayabusas stink up in a few days while my cleto reyes dont smell even after several months.

[@csquaredboxing]

Tbh years for me. Another thing to keep in mind which is weird but true is your diet. Depending on what you eat can give off a weird odor when you sweat which in turn could make your gloves stink more. But generally speaking I do a good job of airing my gloves out and using glove dogs that it literally has been years for some of my older gloves and they don’t stink at all other than the deodorizer smell. Cloth liners that use more cotton/ poly blends absorb sweat more and take longer to dry than nylon blends, so yes they could smell worse because the moisture doesn’t dry out as quick.

[@SSD-kh6vb]

Funny you say that mate because I use all the cleaners and air out my Hayabusas after every session and they've started to smell.. I do the usual like wear handwraps, wash hands before etc

[@Monkihater]

I spar 6 rounds once a week and there is often blood on my gloves after sparring so do you think my gloves would be ok if I do this once a week?

[@elijahtoppersons7827]

Great video man

[@csquaredboxing]

Appreciate it

[@nowlast5562]

A boot dryer is a good investment for keeping the inside of gloves dry.

[@csquaredboxing]

True, but not many people want to carry that in their gym bag with them

[@cuikemoi826]

how do you clean metallic leather gloves ?

[@jamesamurdock93]

I also put in dryer sheets overnight

[@user-Yasser327]

this vid has been very helpful..but where can I fined dog gloves? or what can I use as an alternative?

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks, try amazon

[@aguilar69]

What soap do you use? Dish washing or normal hand washing soap?

[@csquaredboxing]

Dish washing diluted down

[@fastmovinghomes3552]

Where do you store your gloves in between sessions. I use to keep my outside but idk if I should know because I got a leather pair. And as always great video !

[@csquaredboxing]

Thanks, I keep them in storage bins with holes to ventilate

Can you do one on how to clean the inside suede of headgear?

I’ll try

[@slitherlock]

Which sent do you recommend? There are like 5 available...I think. Lavender is a no go for me...I hate flowery stuff. Thanks man.

[@jamesc5393]

Another trick is to fill the socks with baking soda, not powder, it's a natural deodoriser. It'll do the same job as glove dogs but without the scent.

[@csquaredboxing]

Yes this works as well and my gym does this for their community gloves, only problem is the baking soda gets everywhere and can be messy

[@slgproductions7753]

Hey Carlo i was wondering if its ok to simply wipe them down inside and out and air them out infront of a shop fan? I also was wondering if the inserts are supposed to be used on your way home from the gym as a preventitive or a fix for smelly gloves?

[@honorioaguiar9717]

How often should this be done?

[@csquaredboxing]

As needed, depends on how dirty they get and how frequently you use them.

[@johnnycollins9416]

My white boxing gloves paint is starting to crack

[@karelhalim6967]

Sir , what about the venum impact gloves is it leather or synthetic?

[@csquaredboxing]

Synthetic

[@Siberius-]

The comparison at 8:45 is a bit odd, when we can see at the start of the video at 0:25 that one glove is just in way poorer condition to begin with. Don't want viewers to think the glove on the right is going to turn out just like the glove on the left after cleaning.

[@Ergooo]

Would you condition synthetic leather gloves?

[@csquaredboxing]

No

[@casperdaddy2307]

would you recommend putting gloves on a shoe blow dryer after use?

[@csquaredboxing]

You could yes

[@deumsi3363]

how much should u clean it if u use them the whole week long like how often

[@boii99975]

Thank you!

[@csquaredboxing]

You're welcome!

[@holymoses43]

Are winnings real leather?

[@my3jeeps]

Hey Carlo. I'm a bit of a shoe shine geek. Have you ever used something high end like Saphir Renavatour on your leather gloves or bags? Wondering if it's worth it.

[@csquaredboxing]

I haven’t yet

[@al.per.606]

Don't need high end and expensive like Saphir. You can use something like Venetian leather balm. (I know that this is from years ago, but this still shows up searching about cleaning gloves)

[@martinmorris6271]

I have Hyabusa T3 so I think they are synthetic? I wipe them down with Clorox wipes every use and air out then put the dogs in them. Is that good enough or should I be doing any other cleaning and maintenance to them?

[@csquaredboxing]

That’s good enough for synthetic

[@wingoreviewsboxingandmma3667]

The toothbrush messed that logo up. Is there any thing else you could scrub the gloves with that won't damage the screen print?

[@mugdho2494]

maybe sponge

[@jd5655]

Would you recommend this exact cleaning process and products on new Winning gloves and Cleto Reyes?? I’m trying to find a process to clean my gloves b/c I got them dirty already.

[@csquaredboxing]

💯 yes, same process for leather hides

[@jd5655]

csquaredboxing thank you very much boss! You saved me $68 dollars!

[@yourpodcastbuddy]

How often should i clean and condition my gloves if i use the around 3-5 times a week for about an hour and after each time of use do i just dry the inside and then clean it and clean the outside leather around once a month?

[@csquaredboxing]

once a month

[@_bach97]

You have no idea how much i needed this my ringside smells like shit

[@csquaredboxing]

Haha, no prob man hope it works out well for you

[@jerseyltd]

The cleto video said to use Vaseline is that for cleaning or after? I dont get why

[@csquaredboxing]

Vaseline isn’t good for leather as it traps dirt in and doesn’t allow the leather to breathe

[@thestoician]

Can i use Armorall Original Protectant instead?

[@csquaredboxing]

I wouldn’t

[@thestoician]

@@csquaredboxing Why? What is the difference?

[@csquaredboxing]

ianbash because it’s made for vinyl, rubber, and plastic, not leather

[@marcosrod7260]

Is it more difficult to maintain white gloves? They look cool, but not sure if they get black at the end when punching the bag.

[@hbrtoz7592]

They will get black marks withing 2 months. But it still looks good imo. These look like slight scuffs but overall the white is preserved. I think it still looks cool anyway.

[@NEXUSOOI]

I use baby powder for the insides. Smells good and dries it out fast. Is coconut oil good for the leather?

[@csquaredboxing]

Yeah I use to use baby powder too but it would get messy as hell. I’m not sure about coconut oil never tried it

[@jakebramble9476]

Hay mate I just used my cleto Reyes gloves today in sparring and same as the cleto head gear,it’s came with instructions with care saying after use Smear some Vasoline onto the gloves with this affect my gloves ??

[@csquaredboxing]

yes it helps keep the leather conditioned

Use a mild cleaner to wipe off

That’s good enough for everyday use

[@meetthemasters754]

My Gloves have developed cracks almost to the point of peeling due to long time of not using them during the pandemic.. Can the leather conditioner help restore them ??

[@csquaredboxing]

Not at this point. If it’s peeling then the leather is starting to delaminate. If you used leather conditioner in the beginning it would’ve given the gloves better longevity

I think people use “glove dog” as a generic term for moisture absorbing inserts for gloves. Similar to how we call tissues, “ Kleenex.” If anything it’s a tribute to your brand.
