Summarize the following:
Most gloves and pads are made of leather and need a detergent with a pH of less than 10. Mix the detergent with water and dip a washcloth in the solution. Wipe the pads and gloves with the washcloth, removing any dirt and debris.  Adding a tablespoon of fabric softener to the detergent solution can help eliminate odors and make your pads and gloves flexible. You can check your detergent's pH levels by reading the label, checking online, or contacting its manufacturer. Do not put your pads or gloves in the dryer, as this can damage any leather or plastic pieces. Instead, stuff the pads or gloves with a washcloth or newspaper and let them dry overnight. Wash the lacrosse uniform after every game and practice to keep it fresh. Put your lacrosse uniform in the washing machine and turn it to the gentle cycle with cold water. You can use regular laundry detergent to clean the uniform, but do not add any fabric softener if your uniform is made of spandex. Most fabric softeners restrict the elasticity of spandex.  Washing the uniform with other clothes is okay so long as they can handle the gentle cycle with cold water. You can machine wash the pads and gloves as well, but use a non-acidic detergent. Put your uniform in the dryer immediately after your washing cycle ends. Set the dryer to low heat and check its dryness after the cycle ends. If the uniform is still damp, start another cycle and repeat the process as needed. Do not dry clean or iron your lacrosse uniform, as doing either can discolor the fabric.
Hand-wash your pads and gloves with a non-acidic detergent. Let your pads and gloves air-dry. Machine wash the uniform. Tumble dry your uniform.
