Question

What type of gloves are better to use when washing the dishes,

rubber gloves? or latex gloves?

Answer 1

Rubber gloves are usually better since they are less permeable than latex.  Latex has good water resistance, but any organic/oily materials will penetrate latex.  Rubber will typically be more resistant to both.  When working with oily material (like when I change my car's oil), I use nitrile gloves (which you can get at your local home improvement or auto parts store).

Answer 2

I use to have a problem with an  allergy to dish washing soap.  I used Playtex latex gloves.  They have a nice soft lining.  But I also found that the insides would get damp.  So I would use baby powder to dry out the insides.  And when I used them I would shake out the powder.  Then slather on hand lotion.  My hands and nails were wonderful during that period that I used gloves to wash dishes.

Answer 3

THOSE BIG YELLOW GLOVES THAT THE WOMAN HAD ON THE MR. CLEAN COMMERCIAL.
