What can I do about the rip in my latex dishwashing gloves?
Question:I bought latex dishwashing gloves for about 7 dollars from a kitchen store but there is a little hole in the fingertip. The gloves are supposed to be permanent and not rip easily (like the yellow rubber dollar store kind.) What can I do about the hole?
Answers:
Actually its pretty easy to do. Go in the kitchen and find your plastic wrap or a small plastic bag. Wrap your finger and make sure its tight. Then place your new unreliable kitchen gloves over your hands. The key is to make sure no air is inside your wrapped figure. The thicker the wrap the more snug it will be when you place your gloves back on. If there is air inside it might be to heavy and you might have to start all over again, which would be nerve raking. Depending on heavy use I would renew the plastic wrap or bag when needed. Luck sweetheart!
Take them back to where you got them.
mmmm.ignore it or buy new ones. and dont spend that much money on dishwashing gloves. go to the dollar store and buy a pack of five.
Return them and get more;)
Always return merchandise that does not live up to it's promises. It is a pain in the butt to have to take things back, but if you don't they will keep selling stuff to people that doesn't work. I have a shoe box that I throw all my reciepts in and clean out once a month. Most stores won't argue with you about defective merchandise. They can usually return it to the manufacturers for credit.
Do buy some good Playtex or other brand gloves. Walmart is a good place for price. Or a drug store like Longs or Walgren. Or buy a box of those disposable latex gloves. The are petty inexpensive and very useful to protect your hands, not only when washing dishes, but any time you handle chemicals or unsanitary matter.
If you have long finger nails, I suggest you rake them gently over a bar of mild soap before you put on your gloves.. The soap under your nails will support them and when you are through you can just wash the soap out when you wash your hands. Learned that from a tennis pro.
Good Luck.
It's a hole. You can't fix it. Return them.
