The best regimen for taking care of used goatskin gloves is to wash
them with pumice based soap (Lava, for example) while you are wearing
them. Then rinse them well. Wring them out--but while they are still
damp, treat them with something like Lexol or Glovolium( a product
used to soften baseball gloves--any sporting goods store should have
it) Finally, place them in the sun to dry. The gloves remain supple
and last a long time.

I've done this for years; no mold yet.

I nominate this for Most Helpful Post of the Year. I just scraped my
goatskin gauntlet gloves off of the worktable in the garage yesterday.
Eeww. I'll try the above regimen to see if I might resurrect them.
