Are hockey gloves machine washable?

No, hockey gloves are not typically machine washable. The materials—such as synthetic leather, foam padding, and plastic inserts—can be damaged by the agitation and excessive moisture of a washing machine. Instead, it's best to clean them by:

1. Hand Washing – Use mild detergent and warm water to scrub the gloves with a soft brush or cloth.
2. Air Drying – Always let them air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold and odor.
3. Deodorizing – Use disinfectant sprays, vinegar solutions, or specialty sports gear cleaners to keep them fresh.

Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your gloves and keeps them odor-free!
