Guest jab300 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I go through so many gloves it's not even funny! I can't stand dry hands so yes, I always wear gloves when cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No! I can't work in gloves. I only put on gloves to pull the nasty, prickly weeds growing in my front yard. All cleaning and other weed pulling is done bare handed. My hands are cracked and dry with dirt from weeding caked in! So attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 If I am using a heavier chemical like bleach or Comet, I do wear gloves. If my hands are going to be in water for a long time, like washing base boards, I do wear gloves. For a 5 minute dish washing session, using chemicals like vinegar/baking soda...I do not.

Lawana Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I almost always wear rubber gloves when doing any cleaning with water. I use Palmolive dish washing liquid, so no, not natural. My skin suffers greatly if I wash even one sinkful of dishes without gloves.:tongue_smilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I don't clean nearly enough to have anything happen to my hands. :lol: :lol: I have a dishwasher so I don't really do daily dishes, but, no, I've never used gloves while cleaning anything.

Mom25girls Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Umm..does having my husband wash most of the dishes that don't go into the dishwasher count as good hand care protocol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Umm..does having my husband wash most of the dishes that don't go into the dishwasher count as good hand care protocol? Yes! I like your thinking. :001_smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintedlady Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 When gardening, doing dishes or cleaning the bathroom, and I have different gloves for each. I think my hands look okay. Nothing glamorous but decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLVD Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We don't have a dishwasher so I spend a lot of time doing dishes. My SO does all of the cooking so I try to do the majority of the dishes. I got in the habit of wearing gloves and now I can't do them without it. I am able to be more aggressive with cleaning and it's nice to not worry about nails or hands. My nails are pretty weak to begin with and I usually have nail polish on them. I also REALLY hate dry hands. I put lotion on my hands all day! I've started wearing gloves to clean the bathroom. Now I get squicked out not wearing them. I kinda wish I hadn't gotten in the habit! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I don't clean nearly enough to have anything happen to my hands. :lol: Ha ha! :lol: I only wear gloves if I'm using something particularly harsh -- say, submerging my hands in bleach water. For washing dishes and scrubbing toilets I do not wear gloves. I don't like the way they feel. I manicure my nails 2x per week usually and moisturize my hands daily. They look pretty good.

Ellyndria Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I don't clean nearly enough to have anything happen to my hands. :lol: :iagree: This is me! :D I don't wear gloves when I do clean. If my hands are feeling dry I just use some lotion. Although while I don't specifically use it on my hands, I also apply body lotion after a shower, or apply foot cream with shea butter, so I guess doing these things may help moisturize my hands too.

Daisy Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No. I can't stand those rubber gloves. And I don't really care what my hands look like. I'm kind crazy I guess in that I just see them as tools for getting a job done. Lotion maybe if they get too dry, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No, I hate them. I don't even like to weed/garden in gloves and only don them when I have to yank something with thorns..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlessedMom Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No I never wear gloves, although there are times when I really should. I just strongly dislike the way gloves feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missiemick Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No. I hate the way gloves feel and they always make my hands sweat. My hands do NOT look good but I think it has more to do with the sun than the cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKapers Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No- I don't wear gloves when I clean my home, but if I am helping clean someone else's than: yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeBeaks Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No gloves. If they get dry or whatever I use some quality lotion on them. Natural cleansers most of the time, a few exceptions like toilet bowl cleaner as I haven't found a natural one that does the job adequately.

stripe Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I bought some once but lost them. I recently tried to strip this piece of furniture and put a plastic bag on my hand. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirandahoops Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 No, I don't wear gloves when I clean or when I do dishes (twice a day). I think my hands look great, and my husband always says they are the softest hands he's ever felt. I don't use harsh chemicals a lot, though. When I do use bleach cleaner, I put it in a spray bottle and dilute it with water, spray it on, and wipe it off. After cleaning, I immediately wash my hands and put on lotion. I use Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive hand cream. It's the best lotion I've found! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I always wear gloves to clean anything. My fingers are prone to drying and cracking. Also, I have an issue with touching some kinds of dirtiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yes, I always wear gloves when I clean bathrooms or wash dishes, and pretty much anything else that involves getting chemicals on my hands or prolonged submersion in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I rarely wear gloves, but I don't use harsh cleaners either. I wear gloves when I use oven cleaner- that's about it. I use moisturiser on my hands, but my hands really don't get so much rough treatment anyway. Maybe I have princess hands because I don't do enough cleaning :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
