Quick Answer

Hand wash your fingerless lace gloves in cool water with a gentle detergent, then lay them flat to air dry away from heat and sunlight.

Why Lace Gloves Need Special Care

Fingerless lace gloves, especially those made from delicate embroidered stretch tulle like the Petite Chou style, are lightweight and can snag or lose their shape if tossed in a washing machine or dryer. The intricate embroidery and fine mesh require a gentle touch to maintain their romantic, sophisticated look.

What You'll Need

Prepare a clean sink or basin, cool water, a mild detergent designed for delicates (like lingerie wash or baby shampoo), and a clean, dry towel for drying. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and hot water.

Step-by-Step Care for Fingerless Lace Gloves

  1. Fill a basin with cool water: Use cool or lukewarm water (never hot) and add a small amount of mild detergent. Swish to dissolve. Hot water can shrink or distort lace and tulle.
  2. Submerge and gently swish: Place the gloves in the water and gently press them down. Swish them around for 2-3 minutes. Do not rub, wring, or twist. Rubbing can damage embroidery or stretch the lace out of shape.
  3. Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool, clean water. Gently press the gloves to release soap, then repeat until no suds remain. Leftover detergent can cause yellowing or stiffness over time.
  4. Remove excess water: Lay the gloves flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll the towel up and press gently to absorb moisture. Never wring or twist. Wringing can break the delicate tulle fibers.
  5. Air dry flat: Unroll the towel and reshape the gloves to their original form. Lay them flat on a dry towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight and heat. Hanging can stretch the gloves out of shape; heat can weaken the lace.
