gloves for dishwashing
I've decided to try to take better care of my hands and so recently started using gloves when I do dishes. It isn't as bad as I thought it would be. But, I've tried 2 different brands (Playtex and Mr. Clean), and they both leave my hands smelling like sulfur. Are there any gloves out there that don't do this? Thanks - Jeneen |

Look for nitrile gloves, usually blue in color. Try your local home center.

They come in different sizes. They are single use. (Should not be worn by individuals allergic to natural rubber latex, but they offer latex-free alternatives.) They slip on easily, and I love the fact that they are throw-away. When washing up greasy pans, getting yukky left-over food out of pans, really messy jobs, they are wonderful, just slip off and throw in the trash. I started using these because I had to use them to get on a compression sleeve, but soon discovered other uses. They may seem too expensive, but I find them a worthwhile expense. Dee |

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. The only nitrile gloves I've been able to find locally are short (the water runs in when I do dishes). I also tried neoprene gloves, which don't smell like sulfur, but get very slippery in soapy water (not good for dishes). I'll order some longer nitrile gloves online.

Most come in disposable as well as multiple use versions. The prices seem reasonable, too. -- Wayne Boatwright ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 |

Nitrile or neoprene. Both are inert. Try your local home center if you
can't find them. While we're on this topic, I don't understand why no one makes condoms out of nitrile. They could be made super thin and unbreakable. > I am very allergic to natural rubber latex and have a heck of a time > finding something I can use. Anyone out there have any ideas? |
