Do you wear gloves when you do the dishes by hand?

Question

If yes. have you ever noticed dishes smelling rubber after washing them?

It sounds weird, but one day, after washing some dishes, I have noticed that they were smelling like rubber. I was using hot water.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I use the dishwasher, or the wife for small amounts.

Answer 2

me neither

Answer 3

Nah, I don't bother with rubber gloves.  I just use plenty of handcream.

Answer 4

No. The only time I used gloves is when I do our bathrooms or litter box and then it's disposable non-latex gloves.  

Answer 5

No - I dont use gloves.

Answer 6

I did for a while, but I noticed my hands were more sore after using them, and yes, you are right about the smell!  I tend to use Ecover washiing up liquid, it doesn't dry my hands, I also keep some hand cream under the kitchen sink and use it often.

Answer 7

gloves are for wimps lol never use `em

Answer 8

I used to wear gloves for washing up, and yes I did notice the rubber smell after doing them.  I don't use them now, as I'm allergic to them.

Answer 9

No i do not wear gloves.

Answer 10

Change brands of the gloves.

Answer 11

I wear Playtex and don't have a problem

Answer 12

No, I don't bother with gloves.

As far as dishes smelling like rubber, add either a splash of bleach while soaking the dishes, or add a cup of vinegar to get rid of the odor.

Answer 13

yes if i remember because otherwise my hands become dry and irritated. Plus you can have the water hot enough to wash the dishes thoroughly.

Answer 14

No i dont wear gloves whilst washing up :) Lol

Answer 15

Yes, I wear gloves to do dishes, but I have never noticed a smell of rubber on the dishes. After washing them, I rinse in the hottest water I can, but before I began rinsing them, I have never noticed a smell.

Maybe I get a smell on my hands from the inside of the gloves, but never on the dishes themselves.

Perhaps there is a problem with the gloves - old, a cheap make or something.

Answer 16

Yeah i use gloves, i hate the thought of something slimy touching my skin but i've never noticed any smell. I will have to smell any future dishes and see.
