These Lincoln welding gloves are easy to use. Just put them on like regular gloves and you're ready for your welding job. When using, make sure to keep them away from sharp objects to avoid tearing. After each use, wipe off any dirt or debris. For long - term storage, store them in a dry place. Don't expose them to extreme heat or direct sunlight for a long time as it may damage the cowhide. If the lining gets dirty, you can spot - clean it with a mild detergent and let it air dry. That way, your gloves will stay in good condition and serve you well for a long time.
