Different Types Dishwashing Gloves For Home, Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens

Dishwashing isn’t just confined to the home, but all restaurants and commercial kitchens worldwide have to wash, clean and prep dishes to be used. The job of washing dishes isn’t just about using soap and water. These workers are actually exposed to dangers on the job.

Occupational dishwashers have a higher chance of getting cuts on their hands than mechanics and construction laborers. Additionally, dishwashers can be exposed to cleaning agents and hot water which also can cause damage to hands during prolonged periods of time. Certain chemicals can cause mild skin irritations to the skin, such as dermatitis. Cuts can be caused from knives or broken glass. Finally, hot water is needed to properly clean and sanitize plates and utensils, which can cause burning or scalding of the skin.

Here are some of our favorite and the best dishwashing gloves and the reasons we like them:

Yellow Latex Gloves

These are a standard glove for the kitchen, as they are very economical and provide solid protection for the whole hand and forearm

Nitri-Chem Gloves

These are a great glove for the kitchen, as they are 18” in length and provide more protection of the arms. Additionally, these gloves are 22-mil thick meaning they will last longer than typical dishwashing gloves.

Chem-Tech Gloves

These gloves are double dipped, with a base layer of latex followed by a top layer of Neoprene. This allows gloves to maintain their flexibility over an entire dish and are good for a variety of temperatures. These gloves are 28-mil thick.

Neoprene Gloves

These gloves provide one of the highest levels of chemical protection and thickness. They should withstand a beating in the kitchen and a wide variety of cleaning and sanitizing agents.

PredaStretch Gloves
