Things to consider before buying cleaning gloves:
1. Size
There are varied sizes of cleaning gloves in the market and not every size fits you. Before you buy your pair, wrap a tape around your wrist and measure the size in inches. Buy the next bigger size of your actual size. For example, if your wrist measures 8.5 inches, get a 9-inch glove.
2. Anti-slip support
For a perfect grip, while doing your chores, the gloves must not be slippery. They must provide a firm grip mainly while dealing with detergents and soaps. Make sure you go for a slip-free pair of gloves.
3. Scrubbing bristles
To reduce your effort while cleaning, go for the gloves that have tiny silicone or rubber bristles. The benefit of having these is their capability to lather up fast and clean even the grease stains with ease.Â
