Looking for more durable dish gloves

Submitted by curlycattails t3_10jlb1f in BuyItForLife

My hands get really dry, so I like to wear dish gloves while I’m doing the dishes. I’m so tired of buying the typical yellow gloves that get holes in them after a month or two! It feels so wasteful. Are there any dish gloves that are more durable and won’t need to be replaced as often? (Available in Canada, if possible).

Go to a hardware store and look for heavy duty thick black rubber gloves meant for stripping varnish, chemicals, etc. They might not have the dexterity you're used to but they'll last

Chemical resistant neoprene gloves are what I prefer

I went to farm and home supply and got heavy duty gloves in my size and it settled the issue.

Go to a brewing supply store and get brewing gloves. Blichmann gloves rock.

Go to the Asian store and get the super long pink ones. Or get online.

I’ve had my $7 Tusko gloves (from Amazon) for 2 years and haven’t noticed any difference since I bought them. Best grip on a pair of dish gloves I’ve had. Some of the thicker ones are really slippery.

If you live near an Asian grocery store (Korean if possible) try to find some Mamison (마미손) gloves. They are usually pink (XXL size is red).

Mr. Clean are the best. I stock upon the white ones. Inexpensive enough that I can discard when they get too grubby. Just don’t get water in them and let them dry inside out. I use them for everything! With several pairs in rotation I can get more than a year out of them.

Try dish gloves made of nitrile instead of latex (not the multi packs of disposable ones). I’ve had good luck at the dollar store.

They’re thicker with more “body” (not as floppy). I’ve had my pair for at least 8 months. They’re a bit discoloured now but still going strong. I have pretty severe eczema on my hands and these gloves have saved me. I can’t use latex due to allergy so finding nitrile work gloves was a godsend.
