I work for an Industrial Dry Cleaner in Oklahoma! We Laundry all type of work gloves even if they are soiled with oil and what not. Alot of work gloves are reusable. Leather gloves can not be water washed. We use special mineral spirits on the gloves we clean and return to our customers. If you would like you can check out our website at http://www.Brentind.com. If you are not in any of our areas that we services you are more then welcome to ship your gloves to us and we can clean them and ship them back.

I had always wondered the same thing, too, since I own a million things made of neoprene (work gloves, sunglasses cases, etc.). Upon researching the Internet, I came across a company called M.L. Winters, located at http://www.mlwinters.com, that specializes in industrial cleaning.

You may want to look into sending your gloves in to their ReZorb program, which specializes in cleaning and/or recycling of old neoprene work gloves.

Check around your area to see if there are any industrial laundry facilities. I have a friend who owns one in SW Michigan, and they work with a lot of different companies to clean their dirty, oily gloves, towels, etc.
