Anyone have any luck cleaning the outer shell of a pair of gloves? Specifically white tufftek...thanks!

I think OxyClean works best on white tufftek.  Let them soak for a bit if you have palms that'll withstand the wash.

Then hand scrub, rinse, and air dry.

I have laundered a pair of white Easton HSX that had a tuftek outer shell. I didn’t do anything special with them, just used some oxyclean spray and wash pre treatment and sprayed that first. Then did a laundry cycle and air dried them outside in the sun. They came really clean. I was comfortable with this method as nothing was leather on the glove and with a synthetic palm I didn’t have to worry about it drying/stiffening.

Same. I had a pair of 1X Caps gloves with a white cuff that had some staining. Threw it in the wash with some Oxy same as normal and let them air dry. Came out crisp white

Oxy clean soak, then magic eraser to scrub while it's wet. Works like a charm on gloves and pants/shells.

Spray some Scotch Guard on on the white areas once clean and dry (or new) it really helps keep it clean.

Your biggest concern would be that it might change the white in color.  Best to test on a small area to be sure.

 

You can also use this on the colored parts, however, same thing, test a small area to make sure the fabric remains colorfast.
