The Alimat PluS cleaning gloves are built with a latex-free vinyl and polymer blend, making them a safe choice for those with rubber sensitivities. This specific material is designed to resist the animal fats and oils commonly found in kitchen environments, which typically cause standard latex gloves to degrade and become gummy over time. An embossed pattern on the palm helps maintain a secure hold on dishes, even in very soapy water.
Inside, an electrostatically applied cotton flock liner helps absorb hand moisture, making them more comfortable for longer cleaning sessions. Specifications indicate a thickness of about 0.5mm, which provides a good balance between protection and the ability to feel what you are washing. Note that while they protect against hot tap water, they are not rated for boiling water and may soften if exposed to temperatures above 70°C. Sizing for "Medium" may feel tight for some, so choosing a larger size can help prevent stress at the fingertips.
If you are looking for a heavier industrial-style glove for chemical work, the Groom Industries Chemical Resistant Gloves offer a thicker PVC alternative.
Organizing your cleaning supplies is easier with the right hand protection; see more in our grooming gloves and shedding tools selection.
