Keep it clean

Clorox Comfort Choice Gloves Anyone who has watched Gone With the Wind knows that “you can always tell a lady by her hands.” Of course, cleaning and washing make keeping those hands nice and smooth a little difficult. When it comes to serious cleaning and scrubbing, gloves are a must.

All the chemicals in cleaners are tough enough to wipe out mold, mildew and 99.9 percent of bacteria, so you know that most of them aren’t going to be exactly kind to your skin.

But rubber gloves can become a health hazard themselves. Gripping nasty sponges and cleaning up gunk can turn that glove into a petri dish over time. That sort of defeats the purpose of cleaning, doesn’t it? While you’re cleaning you may just be spreading more germs around.

Clorox has introduced Comfort Choice Gloves.

The outside lining has been treated with an antimicrobial substance that’s supposed to keep bacteria from growing.

They also have a cloth-like inner lining for comfort and added protection and ribs on the fingers so you can more easily grip cleaning implements and household items without slipping. A touch of glycerine moisturizer keeps your skin from getting too dry while you’re doing all that heavy scrubbing.
