Re: What's everyoone doing for gloves? Any recommendations?

I took the gloves from my hair color boxes.  I had purchased a particular color that was hard to find and had 6 of them....which are all minus their gloves now.  

 

Also, before I remembered that, I donned a pair of socks and wore them on my hands like mittens, threw them in the washing machine when I got home.  I have a box of gloves on order from Amazon that is taking forever.

I'm curious as to why everyone wants gloves. You really don't need them unless you are taking care of patients. You can't catch the virus through your skin. Can someone explain please? Smiley Happy

I found them at Sam’s.  I already had a box from Home Depot for painting projects around the house.

If you have a break in your skin whether it's on a cuticle, or a paper cut or on top of your hands from dry air on thin dry skin, your hands should be protected by wearing gloves.

You could use winter gloves, oven mitts or no gloves just launder the gloves & mitts after use and wash your hands after wearing.

I’m not going to wear gloves. I’ll wash my hands and use sanitizer.

Re: What's everyoone doing for gloves? Any recommendations?

Last week, I found a box of 500 gloves for $13 and a box of 100 latex gloves at Amazon for $10. Most vendors are price gouging so I was surprised at the price of these two boxes.  I don't know if they still have any left though.  These box of 500 are super light/cheap ones but work for many things. I spit my finds with my 6 siblings, their families, and my dad.

I always wear gloves! Way before this insanity. I've got a terrific collection of gloves, I wear them when I go out and then throw them in the wash. Easy. I'm not a use once and throw away type of person, never was. If you have the smarts about sanitizing, I see no reason not to reuse.

You can also find gloves at restaurant supply stores.
