FAQs
Can I use these gloves for food preparation?
These gloves are intended for general household and DIY tasks, not for handling food items.
Are these gloves puncture-resistant?
They offer moderate protection against abrasions, but they are not rated as puncture-proof for sharp objects.
How do I know if the medium size fits me?
The medium size is designed for standard hand dimensions; if they feel tight or restrict blood flow, they are too small.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand rinse them to preserve the material structure.
What should I do if I have a latex allergy?
If you are sensitive to latex, you should avoid using these gloves and look for nitrile or vinyl alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel slippery when wet
Wipe the surface of the gloves with a dry cloth and ensure your hands are dry before putting them on.
Material becomes stiff
Check that they haven't been stored in direct sunlight or extreme heat; if dirty, rinse with lukewarm water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply pull the gloves on before beginning your task. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug fit to maintain dexterity. To care for your gloves, rinse off any debris or liquids after use and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Avoid turning them inside out forcefully, as this can weaken the material seams over time. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the latex.
