In daily life, housewives have to deal with washing powder, detergent, toilet agent and other chemicals, so a few rubber gloves will be prepared in the home, but it is a breeding ground for bacteria, to be replaced regularly.
While rubber gloves insulate the skin from chemicals and protect the hands well, they are natural rubber products that age over time, become soft and sticky when exposed to oil and hot water, and become hard and brittle if not cleaned in time. Also, hands tend to sweat when it's hot, and sweaty and humid environments can cause a lot of bacteria to grow in gloves. As we wear and remove gloves, our hands can become contaminated with bacteria. Therefore, it is suggested that domestic rubber gloves must be washed and changed frequently. Clean at least two or three times a week, and replace them with new ones every one and a half months.
When cleaning, wash the gloves inside and outside with soap, leave them in a ventilated place to dry naturally, and leave them in the sun once a week. But don't expose your gloves to the sun too often or for too long, which can make them brittle and shorten their life.
In addition, when buying rubber gloves for home use, try to choose those that are a little thin and easy to take off. Don't use a pair of gloves for all household chores, or you could end up with a bacterial cross infection that gets even dirtier.
