Laundry Gloves: What You Need to Know

Laundry gloves are designed for repeated tasks involving water, detergent, bleach, and other laundry chemicals. They provide a protective barrier while still supporting flexibility and control. Our laundry gloves are available in many materials, including latex and latex-free options, the latter of which includes nitrile, synthetic rubber, and vinyl. They're also available in lined styles designed for added comfort during extended use. Many options feature textured palms or fingers for improved grip, helping staff confidently handle wet fabrics, bottles, brushes, and laundry accessories. Choose laundry gloves based on design, protection, and fit.

Laundry Glove Considerations

Glove Length

Longer gloves provide more forearm coverage, which is helpful when staff members reach into deep sinks or need protection from liquid chemicals such as bleach. Shorter options may work well for lighter tasks with less splash exposure.

Grip Texture

Some laundry gloves include textured palms or fingers to improve grip, which is especially useful in high-volume laundry areas where staff need better control when handling soaked linens or slippery garments.

Thickness and Durability

Thicker laundry gloves generally hold up well during repeated washing, soaking, and chemical handling tasks. Lighter-duty styles may feel more flexible, but they may also wear out faster in demanding environments.
