HandsOn Gloves
What’s to love: The gloves can be used wet or dry to clean and groom shedding pets.
What does it do: The flexible gloves come in a variety of sizes and have hook and loop fasteners on the wrist to keep the gloves in place when in use. The palms and fingers are made with textured nodules that aid in cleaning and bathing animals as well as grooming and removing hair. The hair doesn’t stick to the gloves, making them easy to clean. Just rinse and air dry. The gloves are available in sizes from junior to extra large and sell for $24.99 a pair. More information at hand-songloves.com.
