Learn how to treat leather work gloves with Vaseline. Vaseline makes the leather softer, more supple, and slightly waterproof, and if the Vaseline is applied inside the glove, can act like hand cream on your skin. On the downside, the Vaseline treatment reduces the breathability and sweat absorption qualities of the leather. Vaseline is also flammable, so I would not recommend using Vaseline treated gloves around any potential source of fire, such as when welding or working near a furnace. In cold, wet weather, these gloves are really good.

One option is to just treat the outside of the glove with Vaseline, and leave the inside untreated, which may be better when working in hot weather conditions. I turned the gloves inside out, then applied the Vaseline inside. After this point, I turned them right side out, returning the gloves to their previous shape. This is how I get the Vaseline inside the glove.

Vaseline is a well know brand of white petroleum jelly. It is also possible to use other brands. The substance is really called white petroleum jelly. Sometimes other brands cost less than Vaseline. It often takes a lot of petroleum jelly to treat leather, so I just buy the lowest cost brand.

The first step in restoring brass is a good cleaning but, though you want to be tough on dirt and grime, you want to go easy on this precious metal.

Step 1: Determine if brass is lacquered
Determine whether your brass is lacquered, and whether to clean over the lacquer or to remove the lacquer and clean the brass beneath it.

Tip
If a piece is particularly valuable, consult a specialist or curator before attempting to clean it.

Step 2: Start with soapy water
Clean unlacquered brass with hot soapy water and a soft cotton cloth, wearing rubber gloves to protect your hands. Dampen the cloth, wipe down your brass, and then dry it immediately with a fresh cloth.

Step 3: Boil linseed oil
Boil linseed oil and apply to a clean cloth. Wipe the brass again to remove lingering dirt or oils that have built up on the surface, and buff it dry.

Step 4: Make a paste
Make a paste with equal parts vinegar, salt, and flour if your brass is plagued with stubborn grime. Apply the paste and let it set for an hour or two.

Step 5: Remove paste
Remove the paste with warm water and then dry your brass with a clean, soft cloth. Repeat paste applications if necessary.

Step 6: Maintain
Remove tarnish that builds up. Clean and polish your brass regularly. Lacquer the brass.
