How to clean football gloves
Prepare a bath for your gloves.
Shut the stopper in your sink's drain and start running lukewarm water from the faucet. As the sink fills up, pour 1 tablespoon of mild liquid detergent under the running water.
Give the water a stir to mix it evenly with the detergent and then shut off the faucet. If they're particularly stinky, try using a couple of denture cleaning tablets instead of soap.
