Making Rubber Gloves Last Longer


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 418 Posts

gloves hanging on the stoveInstead of keeping my rubber gloves in the kitchen drawer, I hang them on the stove, using magnets. That is where they stay until I use them again, which is two or three times a day. Since I started doing this, I have noticed that my rubber gloves last a lot longer.

I really don't know but I have noticed that they last me probably twice as long since I started hanging them. I use them a lot.

I have concluded that they need to be completely dry before storing them or the rubber will soften. Just drying them with the dish towel and then storing them in the drawer caused them to deteriorate faster.

The gloves I am wearing now have stretched and have actually gotten too big for me. Usually, by this time, I have long punched a hole in them or they have torn. Time for me to switch to a new pair. This pair has served me well.

Maybe I can use them over a pair of gloves for working outside this winter.
