Cleaning Gloves

Cleaning gloves protect hands from detergents, grime, hot water, and harsh chemicals while improving grip and hygiene. Whether you’re scrubbing bathrooms, washing dishes, handling trash, or tackling janitorial jobs, the right glove boosts comfort and reduces skin irritation, cuts from sharp edges, and lingering odors. Modern gloves combine flexible materials with textured fingertips so you can hold wet tools securely and move with confidence. Options range from light-duty household gloves to heavy-duty chemical-resistant designs used in facilities maintenance and auto detailing. With choices for reusable and disposable use, allergy-friendly materials, and multiple sizes, you can match protection to the task and keep hands safe and dry.

Popular materials include:
- Latex rubber gloves for high dexterity and a snug fit.
- Nitrile gloves for latex-free performance, strong puncture and chemical resistance, and oil/solvent handling.
- Vinyl for economical, short tasks.
- Neoprene or PVC for added resistance to acids, alkalis, and cleaners.

Reusable dishwashing gloves are thicker, often flock-lined for comfort and easy on/off, with long cuffs to shield forearms. Disposable nitrile and vinyl styles suit quick cleanups, sanitizing, and color-coding by task to prevent cross-contamination. Look for textured palms, beaded cuffs that resist tearing, and heat tolerance for hot water. Food-safe certifications support kitchen use, while chemical ratings (such as EN 374) guide selection for stronger agents.

How to choose and care:
- Fit: measure your hand and pick the right size; snug without constricting.
- Thickness: higher mils for abrasion and chemicals; lower mils for tactile work.
- Length: standard, long, or gauntlet cuffs based on splash risk.
- Lining: flock-lined for comfort; unlined for sensitive tasks.

Care tips: Rinse after use, air-dry inside out, store cool and away from sunlight, and replace gloves that crack, become tacky, or lose grip. Prefer durable reusable gloves to cut waste; some latex formulas are biodegradable and select programs recycle nitrile. Explore cleaning gloves, rubber gloves, nitrile gloves, latex-free gloves, and dishwashing gloves to find the best match for your routine.
