Do you wear gloves when doing household chores?

I have to say I'm guilty of neglecting my hands by not wearing gloves while washing dishes, scrubbing floors and even while gardening sometimes. I know I should, especially because I have very brittle nails. They should not be exposed to the detergents and chemicals which make them become even more brittle. It's just that I forget to put the gloves on. I do wear gardening gloves most of the time because I'll get scratches from stones in the dirt or from thorns on my raspberry and blackberry bushes. We also have a lot of wild thistle growing around here and I've learned to NEVER touch them without gloves because they are quite prickly and hurt! But, sometimes I'll notice a weed in passing and stoop down to pick it, then that leads to more weeding, then more cultivating or other things in the garden. Before I know it, I have blisters and several cuts on my hands. Not good, I know. Maybe I should write myself a sign and post it on each door leading outside to remind myself to wear my gloves, then keep a pair of gloves near every door... also maybe a pair of rubber gloves IN the kitchen sink to remind me to use them. Thanks for the reminder! I'll try to improve.

i dont wear gloves when cleaning or washing, i tried it but i find them annoying and it makes me feel like i cant clean what i am cleaning really well. i am more comfortable without gloves when doing those things. as for scrubbing i use my foot most of the time.

The only time I really use gloves is if I am cleaning with strong bleach water. That wouldn't be normal, everyday cleaning. That would be more like deep cleaning. I have even gotten to the point that I will wear a mask while I am doing that. The main reason is I almost caught Chemical Pnemonia (however you spell it), back in the spring when I was cleaning up a new place to move in to. I was so sick. Then I figured out, it is not worth it. So I started using the mask and gloves. Otherwise, I will only use gloves if I am doing heavy work in the yard. I will use leather gloves to keep from getting blisters on my hands. Other than that, I don't really take care of my hands as well as I should.

Hi hotsummer...I do wear gloves when doing household chores...I think that it protects my hands from the harsh chemicals that I sometimes have to use to clean. Also it protects anyone else that I touch after I clean. I just think it's an extra step but much easier and safer in the long run.

I have never used clothes while I cleaned the house. I used to use a gloves when I cleaned out the toilet but I don't any longer because i use a magic wand that makes it a lot easier and I don't have to wipe down into the bowl as far. I don't use a bunch of chemicals when I clean and that is why I don't use gloves, the most I use is pine-sol on the floors or bleach on the counters every now and again.

Well, i does wear gloves especially when cleaning bathrooms as i use chemical liquids to wash, where it needs to done carefully. Infact i cover my noses, as the chemicals are strong enough and not good to inhale. I feel myself face using them.
