Proper Care of Goalkeeper Gloves

• 

  Step 1

  THOROUGH RINSING

  Latex is a particularly delicate material. To ensure optimal grip, use the Glove Cleaner and spray it onto your goalkeeper gloves before using them for the first time. Rub the KEEPERsport Glove Cleaner over the entire grip foam and rinse the glove with lukewarm water. After wringing it out, your goalkeeper glove is ready for the next steps—provided you’ve cared for it properly.

  Step 2

  Dry Your Gloves with the KEEPERsport Towel

  After washing your goalkeeper gloves with the KEEPERsport Glove Cleaner, first gently squeeze them out and blot away the excess moisture with the KEEPERsport Towel. This gently removes excess water without damaging the grip foam and optimally prepares the gloves for further drying on the KEEPERsport Glove Dry Buddy.

• 

  Step 3 - LET IT DRY

  To completely remove moisture from your goalkeeper gloves, it's best to use the KEEPERsport Glove Dry Buddy. It’s important to hang the gloves with the fingertips facing up so that excess water can escape and doesn’t accumulate in the fingertips. Hang your goalkeeper gloves on the KEEPERsport Glove Dry Buddy for 12–24 hours—after that, your goalkeeper gloves will be ready to use!

• 

  Step 4 - REMOVE DIRT

  Every goalkeeper knows this: after intense training sessions or matches, a lot of dirt can get trapped in the grip. For your goalkeeper gloves, use the KEEPERsport Glove Cleaner again and repeat the steps listed above. Carefully rub in the KEEPERsport Glove Cleaner after spraying it several times, then thoroughly wring out the goalkeeper gloves. Hang the wet goalkeeper gloves on the KEEPERsport Glove-dry Buddy to dry.

  KEEPERsport Aqua Glue

  TIP FOR WET WEATHER CONDITIONS

  Every goalkeeper’s nightmare: the ball slipping through your hands in wet conditions. We have a solution for you here, too! When it’s raining, use KEEPERsport Aqua Glue to ensure optimal grip even in wet conditions. Apply a fingertip’s worth of KEEPERsport Aqua Glue and rub it into your goalkeeper gloves. The water-repellent KEEPERsport Aqua Glue improves grip in rain, snow, or morning dew. It doesn’t even require drying time—just apply it and step out into the rain with confidence. 

  Important
  : To prevent damage to the adhesive foam, clean the surface with KEEPERsport Glove Cleaner after applying KEEPERsport Aqua Glue.

  Grip Sprays

  TIP FOR DEALING WITH WEAR ON THE TRACK SURFACE

  Even with minimal wear, your goalkeeper gloves will remain usable for a long time. With the right care, your gloves will be ready for intense training sessions. To extend the grip of your goalkeeper gloves—especially in dry, hot, and tough playing conditions—we recommend using KEEPERsport Grip Glue, developed in collaboration with Glove Glu, the market leader in grip technology.

  Important: After using KEEPERsport Grip Glue, thoroughly clean your goalkeeper gloves with KEEPERsport Glove Cleaner to prevent residue buildup.

  Proper Storage

  THE FINAL STEP

  When it comes to goalkeeper glove care, it’s not just about proper cleaning—correct storage is just as important. Organization is half the battle! That’s why we’ve developed the KEEPERsport Glove Bag for everyday use and the KEEPERsport Glove Bag Pro for more demanding needs, both designed specifically to meet the goalkeeper’s requirements.

  Heat (e.g., radiators) and light (e.g., UV light) make latex stiff and brittle. The KEEPERsport Glove Bags prevent this problem and also protect the gloves from other harmful influences.
