Tjeccles Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 So the apartment above mine had a pipe burst and water got all over my apartment. My gloves were unfortunately in the splash zone. What's the best way to get them dry without having them shrink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank75139 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I’m not an expert with the gloves but I was always told with shoes to stuff them with news paper and let them sit out. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yeah, the newspaper technique is a good strategy. Pack 'em with newspaper and change the damp paper out when it absorbs enough water to be soaked through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjeccles Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I've done that. Is it possible to wash them? I'm not sure which pipe it was just hoping it wasn't sewage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yes, you can wash them just don’t put them in a dryer. Lay them out flat on a towel to dry. They will be a little tight when you put them on again but they will regain their flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely wasn't a clean water pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjeccles Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm guessing wash on cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank75139 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I’d say cold is your best bet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
