A rubber glove is a glove made out of natural rubber or synthetic rubber. 'Rubber' refers to durable, waterproof, and elastic material made from natural or synthetic latex. Rubber gloves can be unsupported (rubber only) or supported (rubber coating of textile glove). Its primary purpose is the protection of the hands while performing tasks involving chemicals. Rubber gloves can be worn during dishwashing to protect the hands from detergent and allow the use of hotter water. Sometimes caregivers use rubber gloves during the diaper changing process to prevent contact with the child's fecal material/urine. Health professionals use medical gloves rather than rubber gloves when performing surgical operations.
Rubber gloves are best worn with a skin-tight fit which, while still allowing for the hands to breathe, makes it easier to hold objects and manipulate them. The palms and fingers usually have a raised pattern which helps provide a good grip when handling objects. Wearing gloves protects the hands from harsh detergents and other cleaning products that are used in the home and elsewhere.
These gloves are traditionally used by people cleaning in the home and are popular with professional cleaners and for clearing up in shops, cafes, and other public places. The thickness of the gloves and the long cuffs provide excellent protection for all general cleaning tasks and are useful for all chores where the hands need to be put into water, and provide protection when vacuuming, dusting, and polishing.
The most common material used for making household gloves is latex, a form of Natural rubber. Usually, the gloves have a cotton "flock" lining for easily taking them on and off. They are available in a wider range of colors and cuff lengths. Problems with latex rubber include allergic reactions and poor protection against such substances as solvents. Other materials used to alleviate this are PVC, nitrile, and neoprene. Natural rubber that has been chemically treated to reduce the amount of antibody generators, such as Vytex Natural Rubber Latex, can be used to produce a glove that retains the properties of traditional rubber while exposing the user to significantly reduced amounts of latex allergens.
Gloves are used in the service industry to minimize contact with ready-to-eat foods. Generally, food service employees are required to wash their hands before starting work or putting on single-use gloves. Due to the incidence of latex allergies, many people switch to vinyl or nitrile gloves. Polyethylene gloves are a very inexpensive alternative. Latex, Vinyl, and Nitrile gloves are available in powder and powder-free varieties. The powder in the gloves is made of USDA cornstarch. Powder-free gloves are generally more expensive than powdered gloves because gloves must be powdered to be removed from the mold they are made on. The majority of disposable gloves are manufactured in China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
Disposable gloves are sometimes used in childcare during the diapering/ toileting process to protect the caregiver from coming in contact with the child's fecal material/urine. Fecal matter in particular is known to carry many diseases. Many caregivers use gloves while touching the child's buttocks or genitals when wiping or applying creams. These gloves are made of latex, vinyl, or nitrile.
When people facilitate, it might be plugged toilet and some people would put on their latex gloves for protection then just put their hands into the toilet and clean the facilitates.
The practice of donning latex gloves during the cleaning of toilets embodies a multifaceted approach to hygiene and safety. By acting as a protective barrier between the skin and the array of potentially harmful substances present in such environments—ranging from bacteria and viruses to harsh cleaning chemicals—these gloves play a pivotal role in safeguarding personal well-being. Furthermore, the utilization of gloves streamlines the process of handling dirt and waste, facilitating a more efficient and thorough cleaning operation. Whether in domestic settings or professional contexts, the adoption of latex gloves signifies a commitment to maintaining elevated standards of cleanliness and sanitation.
Personal Identification: Fingerprints Fingerprints are also left on the glove itself, and it is possible to develop latent fingerprints from gloves left at or near the scene of a crime. The sex of the person wearing the glove can be accurately determined from a glove print.
