Gloves aren’t just for professionals — the right pair can make everyday life cleaner, safer, and easier. In this post we show 6 common household tasks and recommend whether latex, nitrile, or PVC is the best match. Quick, practical, and written for busy shoppers who want the right glove for the job.

Dishwashing and Kitchen Cleanup
  • Why: Comfort and flexibility (latex) make scrubbing dishes easy; PVC is cost-effective and resists greasy residues.
  • Tip: If you frequently use degreasing detergents, choose thicker latex or switch to nitrile for better chemical resistance.
Food Preparation
  • Best choice: PVC or food-grade nitrile
  • Why: PVC and certified food-grade nitrile are affordable and safe for direct contact with food. Latex can be used if allergy risk is low.
  • Tip: Use color-coding (e.g., blue for food prep) to avoid cross-contamination.
Using detergent and wiping table
  • Why: Nitrile resists many household chemicals, solvents, and oils better than latex or PVC.
  • Tip: Check product data for chemical compatibility if using solvents or strong cleaners.
Auto Maintenance
  • Why: Nitrile handles paints, oils, and adhesives and protects skin from solvent splashes.
