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.

What’s to love: A cleaning tool designed to reduce the need for bending, kneeling and body strain when cleaning.

What does it do: The cleaning head attaches to the telescoping pole with what the company calls a “quickball” system, which is like a ball and socket joint allowing the cleaning head to move in almost any position for cleaning floors, overhead surfaces, walls and even curved surfaces. A microfiber pad attaches to the head for cleaning and can be used wet or dry. A starter set which includes the pole, cleaning head and pad sells for $29.99. More information at theduop.com.
