      I’ve done lots of construction and many years ago I started wearing rubber gloves every time I do dishes. I used to not wear gloves but there’s nothing like losing big chunks of your callouses from dish pan hands.

      And if you play guitar and want to maintain callouses on your fingertips, you have to wear gloves all the time.

        Real men get the tools they need for the job required.

        In this case, rubber gloves.

          it was a joke, I prefer to simply wash my hands after but if you want to use gloves, you do you I guess

      I was just about to ask, it is one of the most important items in my kitchen and cleaning cupboard.

      If you are getting disposable gloves, get nitrile ones, and make sure that they fit tight over your hands to seal the opening against water ingress.
