i know that u can wash most pads (arm pads, shoulder pads. etc), but can u wash ur gloves without any problems. ya see we had a scrimmage last night and it was really wet and muddy ,and right now my superstars are filled with mud and water and such (i dried them over night and they r still wet. so just tell me if u guys think its ok to wash and/or dry the gloves.

i washed my X-factor Gels and they'r fine, just make sure you do it on a gentle cycle and not for very long

ya leather ones don't last as long if you wash them after a game or whatever

i just air them out and when they dry up i wash off the top with water. and if mud is encrusted on the palms i beat it with the butt of my stick trying to loosen them up

totally soak your gloves, i had Xfactors after a really muddy practice, i ran water over with a hose and scrubbed id clean.
Stuff your gloves/cleats/etc. with newspaper, itll soak up and your stuff will dry faster

yeah, i put them in the bathtub and ran water over them/scrubbed them, and let them sit for a little bit, then put them on a drying rack with newspaper inside of them.

There are also some leather conditioners you could try that people use for baseball and softball gloves. It might just be the only thing baseball is good for...

i just put the gloves in my washer (without any extra washing materials i.e. bleach, etc), and i just put it on rinse and spin cycle. and after it was done i put them in the dryer on air fluff (i think thats what it was called)
