Default Glove cleaning help needed...

I need to clean up a few vintage (1940s-1950s) baseball gloves that were found in old buildings... They have spider webs, dirt, dust, and who knows what else all over them...

Any ideas?

Thanks
Travis

As a follow-up to some comments in that thread, the glove experts at the websites noted there regard Vaseline as too thick to be absorbed by the leather, and therefore not damaging and a nice "finishing touch" if used very sparingly. Your mileage may vary.

I've used armor all leather cleaner and found it works good to start. Its a spray so its easy to use. If the glove needs a deep cleaning, there are other ways to go, but armor all is quick and simple.
