Gloveglu, maintenance and grip of goalkeeper gloves

The Gloveglu method: wash, refresh, revive

Gloveglu organises maintenance around three following steps. Wash & Prepare washes the palm and prepares it to receive the grip: it removes dirt and residues that block the pores of the latex. Glovefresh is sprayed inside the glove to neutralise sweat odours between sessions. Finally, the grip sprays leave an adhesive film on the foam just before playing. When applied regularly, this routine prevents the palm from hardening and prolongs the effectiveness of a match pair, which interests both the amateur goalkeeper who plays every weekend and the parent who often replaces a child's gloves.

Other brands for goalkeeper glove care

Gloveglu is not the only solution for taking care of a palm. The selection Glove Care brings together all the cleaners and sprays for comparing formulas. You can also check out the cleaner T1TAN, from a German brand founded in 2016, the Reusch products, creator of the latex palm, or the spray cleaners Uhlsport, from the manufacturer in Balingen.

Original, MEGAgrip or AQUAgrip: which spray for what weather

The Mini Essentials kit contains the three grip formulas from the brand, allowing you to try them before investing in a large bottle. The Original is the historical, versatile formula that revives the grip of a tired palm. The MEGAgrip takes adhesion further, equally effective on dry or wet ground, and can breathe life back into an old pair. The AQUAgrip is formulated for wet pitches and rainy matches when a standard palm becomes slippery. In all three cases, two or three sprays per glove are sufficient on clean foam, followed by drying.

Why choose a kit of small bottles

With five 50 ml bottles, the Mini Essentials kit fits into a match bag pocket and follows the goalkeeper on the go, at tournaments or training camps. The small format allows you to try the entire range of Gloveglu without accumulating large bottles, and to find the spray that best suits your foam and local climate. It also makes a targeted gift for a young goalkeeper who has just received their first quality pair: with proper care, a soft latex palm keeps its grip for longer. Gloveglu products can be used on gloves from all brands, regardless of the cut.

Good deals on Gloveglu care

A care kit is a much-appreciated gift for a young goalkeeper, and it is during Black Friday and at the end of year festivities that it most often ends up under the Christmas tree. The winter sales then allow you to complete your routine. In spring, French Days for goalkeeper gloves bring together the offers dedicated to the position, before the summer sales and the return to training, when everyone gets their gloves back in shape. Throughout the year, keep an eye on Promotions and Clearance.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gloveglu suitable for new gloves?

Yes. The pre-wash of a new pair can be done with warm water alone or with Wash & Prepare, which removes manufacturing residues. The grip spray becomes useful later, when the foam starts to lose its grip.

How long should you let the spray dry before playing?

Allow about a quarter of an hour after application on the palm. So spray it in the changing room, before warming up, so that the adhesive film is active when making the first catches.

Where does the brand Gloveglu come from?

Gloveglu is an English brand launched in 2012 and based in Oxfordshire. Its founder, from the sports industry, started by preparing his own spray before developing a full range, now distributed in over fifty countries.

Is Glovefresh used after each session?

It is mainly used on washed and dry gloves, or between close sessions when you do not have time to wash them. Sprayed inside, it limits odours related to sweat without affecting the grip of the palm.

Should you rinse the gloves after Wash & Prepare?

Yes, after massaging the product into the foam, rinse the palm with warm water until no soapy residue remains. Then leave the glove to air dry, away from any source of heat.
