I have seen another guys gloves that didn't do so well in the washing machine, so perhaps it depends on which ones you have.

Black dye came out of mine for the first few washes. My wife would have killed me if I had have just chucked them in the machine and that happened.
I also wash all our bits go in the machine in a little bag with holes. Have to due to the velcro. Things like the pads out of our helmets and my HRM strap. Things get smelly fast up here riding in the higher temps.

I actually chuck them in a bucket of Nappy san (I am a virgo) and let them soak for about 2 days then chuck them in the wash, they come ouw looking almost new evern after dirt Grease etc.sbra9635 wrote:My riding gloves are filthy and need a good clean but with the synthetic leather and the pads and the rest, I dunno if they're sweet to just pop in the washing machine or if I should do something else? Any ideas?

Knicks and top go into a mesh lingere bag (you know the thing your better half washes her bra's and things in), and my TUFF Kevlar gloves go into another. Gloves have a habit of disintergrating if just chucked into the machine and if you are one of those who does'nt wash 'em regulary, you have a nasty germridden breeding ground on your hands - literally.

Just a tip, if you bung em in the wash, close the velcro tabs or put them in a bra bag otherwise you get fluff & stuff sticking to them and eventually they will keep popping open.

Give them a good rinse to get the soap out after, squeexe as much water out as I can without wringing and hang on washing line. I don't worry too much about colour coded pegs though, they're either plastic or wooden. Bit like me at times now I think about it.
Altho stictly speaking it's a Pink job and part of OHs territory, being my kit I do it myself in exactly the same way, once washed I just drip dry it. No mess, no fuss, and saves water.
On the subject of pink jobs, I think there has been way too much concern on cloths washing technics, and pegs etc. (I can almost hear the Lumberjack song in the background, or anything by Village People) Tho I admit I have never met a bunch of breeders so intouch with their feminin sides, very refreshing! I await the knitting thread with baited breath........
Anyone do any cross stitch?
