Glove cleaning help needed...
 

I need to clean up a few vintage (1940s-1950s) baseball gloves that were found in old buildings... They have spider webs, dirt, dust, and who knows what else all over them...

Any ideas?

Thanks

As a follow-up to some comments in that thread, the glove experts at the websites noted there regard Vaseline as too thick to be absorbed by the leather, and therefore not damaging and a nice "finishing touch" if used very sparingly. Your mileage may vary.

great tips. I've been needing this information as well. Thanks.

I've used armor all leather cleaner and found it works good to start. Its a spray so its easy to use. If the glove needs a deep cleaning, there are other ways to go, but armor all is quick and simple.
