• Wipe inside and out: After each session, wipe them down with an antibacterial wipe or a damp cloth.

• Air dry thoroughly: Open them up as much as possible to allow air circulation.You can use a fan to speed up the process. Some people like to use a hair dryer, but be careful of overusing it can damage the glove if the hair dryer is held too close to the glove.
