Does anyone know of a successful way of removing propolis from leather gauntlets. Started using them because my girlies were slightly angry (due to the weather I am presuming). However they are now on the sticky side :rolleyes:
 
Difficult to get gauntlets propolised , unless your elbow deep!

propolis is pretty messy stuff and a mare to remove off leather gloves, I use fabric foam spray that will remove some of it. TIP leave them on and work the foam cleaner as if you are washing your hands
 
Hi, I use washing soda on everything and it does help. Use more concentrated stuff on your gloves and it could lift it.
 
Once you've got them clean buy a pack of cheap latex gloves, and wear them over the top.
