Keep Your Gloves Game-Ready: Introducing Glove Wash & Prepare Wipes

AWhen it comes to goalkeeping, your gloves are more than just gear — they’re your lifeline between you and the ball. The grip, feel, and longevity of latex all depend on how well you care for your gloves. That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil our latest innovation: Glove Wash & Prepare Wipes — the ultimate on-the-go cleaning solution that keeps your gloves fresh, sticky, and ready for action without water.
Why Wipes?
AUntil now, most goalkeepers have depended on sprays, foams, or soaking with water to maintain glove condition. But there are times when you’re between training and match, or out on the pitch with no sink nearby. In those moments, you still want clean latex — no dust, grime, or sweat clogging up the pores.That’s where our wipes come in. Designed specifically for goalkeeper gloves, these wipes:
- Lift dirt, dust, and sweat instantly — clearing the surface so your grip isn’t compromised
- Are glove-safe — strong on grime, gentle on latex
- Are dry wash — no need to rinse, no waiting for drying
- Fit in your kitbag or pocket — ideal for use before, during, or after training or matches
- Help extend glove life by preventing dirt from embedding deep in the latex pores
In short: when you can’t wash, the wipes do the work for you.
“Designed specifically for goalkeeper glove care … these handy wipes remove dirt, grime, and sweat build-up instantly, helping you maintain optimum grip and prolong the life of your gloves.”
The Science Behind Clean
Glove Wash & Prepare Wipes
Clean = Confidence
White boots and white gloves is my go-to kit combination, but they've gotta be clean! Confidence is huge in football - for me, I can't even imagine walking out on to the pitch with dirty gear
Lewis Ward - Pro Goalkeeper.
Latex is soft and porous — which is great for grip, but it also means it can absorb dirt, sweat, and pollutants. Over time, that buildup suffocates the latex, weakens it, and degrades performance.
Our goalkeeper glove care uses the DIRTech formula, crafted to gently lift contaminants away from the pores so the latex can breathe again. The wipes adopt the same core principle — removing what shouldn't be there without damaging what should. Once the surface is cleared, your gloves are ready for the next step: grip enhancement (yes, that’s where the grip sprays come in!).

Here's when you'll want them
AJust before play — give your palms a quick once-over to reset surface grip
Half-time / half-session — freshen up between halves or after extra work
Post-match / post-training — remove surface grime before doing a full wash
Away days / travelling — when you don’t have access to water
How to use:
1. Take a wipe, and gently rub it across the palm (and fingers if needed)
2. Rotate and use a fresh side of the wipe if it’s dirty
3. Let the latex sit for a few seconds to allow drying (it’s a dry wash)
Optionally, follow up with your chosen grip spray
Wipes + Full Care = Best of Both Worlds
AThe Glove Wash & Prepare Wipes complement (rather than replace) our full wash products. Use the wipes when speed or convenience matters, and still use gloveglu Wash & Prepare (or our foams) when you have the time and water access for a complete wash. This hybrid approach gives you flexibility without sacrificing care.
In fact, the wipes can help protect your full-wash regimen: by removing surface dirt early, you reduce wear and tear on the latex before soaking or applying deeper cleansers.
Real Benefits, Real Savings
By keeping dirt out of your gloves’ core, you:
Maintain stronger grip over more sessions
Reduce cracking, drying, and degradation
Save money by extending the usable life of each glove pair
Gain confidence — every save feels sharper, every dive feels certain
We know goalkeepers upgrade gloves often; our goal is to stretch out the life of every single pair you own.
A winning habit worth forming.
