Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean a dirty baseball glove?

Use a soft brush to remove dirt and debris, then wipe with a damp cloth. Allow the glove to air dry fully before conditioning.

How should I store my glove?

Store gloves in a cool, dry place. Keeping a ball in the pocket helps maintain shape during storage.

Will conditioning change how my glove closes?

Proper conditioning improves flexibility without compromising control—as long as it’s applied lightly and evenly.

How is breaking in a softball glove different from a baseball glove?

Softball gloves are larger and require a larger mallet or ball to form the pocket correctly. Using the right tools ensures the pocket fits a softball—not a baseball.

Should I oil or condition a baseball glove?

Yes—but sparingly. Use a glove conditioner designed for sports leather to soften and protect the glove without making it heavy or greasy.
