Goals are the essence of soccer, but even more important are saves. They give and take away triumphs as much or more than the balls that enter the goal. Triumph and glory are in the hands of the goalkeepers and the key lies in the correct maintenance of their gloves.
The excitement, the passion and, of course, the goals are back. The essence of soccer. Those that could have been and were not, and those that went up on the scoreboard and should not have (there are fewer of these left). Then come the controversial ones, the ones that bounce and pure luck, the ones that are useless, the ones of honor, the ones that break records and, above all, the ones that win titles. Be that as it may, the World Cup is here, albeit belatedly, and in the end the only thing that will be remembered is the times the ball went into the goal, how it did so and what they meant. It is clear. Diego Armando Maradona’s against England in the 1986 Mexico World Cup; Carlos Alberto’s against Italy in Mexico 1970; Pelé’s against Sweden in Sweden 1958; Michael Owen’s against Argentina in France 1998 and Iniesta’s as well. Goal!
World Cleaning World Cup always in the palm of your hand
All of them unforgettable. However, what is always forgotten is that most of the time it is the ones that are the most interesting. Precisely, the one that could have been and was not. It is almost always the same. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo’s records, Messi’s chances, Mbappé’s runs, Vinicus Jr’s dribbles, or Lewandoski’s precision will always remain in the memory, but never the saves of Courtois or any other goalkeeper. Curious because the key to victory is as much in scoring as in not conceding. So that, Iniesta’s goal, but also Casillas’ one-on-one a few minutes earlier. As important or more. Also because at the end of any game a goalkeeper is shot more times than the best striker takes a shot. More blocks than shots and the only recognition is the Goooooool!
Cleaning and maintenance of goalkeeper gloves
They give victories, but they can also take them away. Agility, reflexes, coordination and… not forgetting the maintenance of your work tool: your gloves. Glory or failure inevitably passes through your hands and your condition can make all the difference. Very delicate due to the materials they are made of, but essential for the goalkeeper’s grip, protection and safety. No two are alike and everyone prefers their own. Sizes, shapes and colors. However, they all have something in common. Natural or synthetic, they have latex on the palms and between the fingers. Essential for blocking and keeping the ball from slipping, but that’s where the problems usually start. Very delicate and, in addition, always exposed to the aggressions of the environment.
To the friction of the ball, to the blows against the grass and especially to the rainwater. There are many tips and tricks to keep them always in perfect condition, such as having two pairs of gloves, one for training and one for matches. Also, let them dry in the open air after use (no dryer) and do not rest your hands on the floor at any time and do not touch the inside of them. It should never be done. Neither to applaud a play, celebrate a save nor even when it comes to putting them away. Also don’t dry them with a towel or anything like that. However, there is another one that does not fail at any time: wash them whenever necessary with the most suitable product such as
G2 Glove Wash
from G2 Green.
The best product to clean goalkeeper gloves (and how to wash them)
Don’t let them score any more goals by cleaning your goalkeeper gloves! No, not all products are suitable for washing. Some chemical agents could accelerate their degradation and, in addition, those who have used them know how difficult it is to eliminate odors from their interior after use and the proliferation of the bacteria that cause them.
For this reason, G2 Green has developed a formula capable of ensuring that the grip of the gloves lasts until the latex naturally disappears from the palms. Concentrated and with great degreasing power. High bioalcohol content with intense dirt dissolving properties that allow faster self-drying. Essential on and off the field. And keeping them in top condition for maximum performance is easier than it sounds:
- Moisten the gloves by immersing them in water.
- Drain and apply G2 Green Glove Wash inside using the built-in foam dispenser until it is completely filled. Insert the hand into the glove for about one minute. The remaining foam will be used to clean the palm, the underside and the entire surface of the fingers.
- Rinse by immersion in clean water or directly under the tap.
- Repeat the operation on the glove of the other hand.
- Drain very well with the opening facing down to promote drying.
- Tender in the same position with a clamp on the middle finger, but taking care that it does not touch the latex and without direct sunlight. It would also spoil it.
- Once they are well dried, keep them in their case avoiding touching or sticking with a piece of paper between them. Easy and very effective.
Maximum performance until the next World Cup match. Undoubtedly, longer life for goalkeeper gloves while achieving perfect deodorization, cleanliness and, above all, optimal maintenance. All so that the ¡goooool! begins to be the least important thing in the games and the protagonism is now for the ¡uyyyyyys! No more cleaning goals with G2 Green.
And remember, also for the maintenance of sports equipment and material, Think big, clean green!
