How to Clean Rubber Gloves
Rubber gloves will protect your hands from harsh chemicals, hot water and things that you just don’t want to touch. Rubber gloves will last a long time if they are not punctured and a simple cleaning will even keep the inside fresh and clean.
Rubber gloves, also referred to as latex gloves, can be purchased at home improvement centers and hardware stores.
