These are general GORE-TEX care directions; the specific glove maker's label always comes first. Do not apply the routine unchanged to leather-only, mixed-material or electrically heated gloves. The cover shows Hestra ski gloves with no verified GORE-TEX composition or wash suitability.

1. Read the inner care label and glove maker's instructions first. Leather-heavy or electrically heated gloves need their own procedures; never soak them by assumption.
2. Shake grit and dirt out of the finger cavities and palm area. Inspect the outer fabric for tears or damage from buckles and sharp edges.
3. If the label permits, hand-wash gently in lukewarm water using a small amount of liquid detergent. GORE-TEX's general guidance avoids machine washing, dry cleaning, bleach and fabric softeners.
4. Rinse away remaining detergent, then press water out gently from fingertips toward the wrist without harsh twisting or wringing.
5. Hang to air-dry with the wrist openings facing down, away from direct sun and heaters. Use a tumble dryer only if the specific glove label permits it.
6. While partly dry, put the gloves on and gently make a fist to restore shape, then let the inside dry fully before storage. If water stops beading, consult that product's DWR-care advice before applying any treatment.
