Buy Green Large

I have bought these over and over since I discovered them many years ago. at World Market. So sad they are no longer available. I did find a 2-pack in smurf blue recently so am wearing those. I've even found them in red over the years and grabbed those. It's a wonder they are no longer made. They are fabulous.

I love washing dishes with HOT water unfortunately that’s not good for my hands. My aunt recommended this product and wow how much I love it. Good quality and can withstand the heat.

Washing dishes

Great for dishes or heavy duty cleaning.I can use scalding hot water without feeling it.Keep my hands in great condition.

The gloves are heavy duty but after a little over a month of just washing dishes with them, I got a hole in the fingertip. This was my second pair and it happened with both. I give up.

These are indeed the 'ultimate household gloves'. Being made of vinyl (and of course, latex free) is what makes them 'ultimate'.When my allergies act up, I seem to react to everything - including even the mildest dishwashing liquid. Hence the need for waterproof latex free gloves. These hypo-allergenic gloves do the job just fine!PROS:These gloves are made of a tough vinyl shell that can withstand harsh dishwashing cleaners. The vinyl shell also insulates my hands so I can safely use really hot water when washing a sinkful of greasy dishes.The vinyl around the glove's fingers and palm is slightly roughened for a good grip on soapy dishes.Gloves measure about 12" long with 5" cuffs ... so, I can easily reach for those dishes at the very bottom of my kitchen sink full of sudsy water.I also have the option of folding back the long cuffs on these gloves ... this prevents water from running back on my arms while doing the dishes. (SEE PHOTOS IN CUSTOMER IMAGES)The generous cotton liner makes this kitchen glove super comfortable. The cotton liner also allows me slip these gloves on and off with utmost ease.These gloves come in really cool colors ... so, they are fun to wear!Gloves, especially, cotton lined gloves, would need washing. I machine wash these gloves on gentle cycle and line dry to get them really clean.HINT: I fold the cuffs all the way back to the fingers before machine washing and, again to line dry. So, my gloves are always clean and odor free.CONS:These vinyl gloves are thick. However, I adjusted quickly to the thickness without any loss of dishes! :)I find that new gloves are a bit stiff at first, but they soon soften up nicely.ABOUT SIZING: These cotton lined gloves slip on and off easily so, 'Medium' would be a snug fit for hands that would otherwise use 'Large' in the yellow household gloves. If you like your gloves loose fitting, then buy your regular glove size!The fingers on these gloves are a bit short but I don't find it a problem ... Actually this makes it so much easier to deep clean these gloves (when I turn them inside out) to machine wash and line dry.Overall, I recommend the  True Blues Ultimate Household Gloves  to anyone looking for gloves that are both comfortable and durable.If you are also looking for latex free hypo-allergenic household and garden gloves ... then you found them ... just decide on the color - green, red, purple, pink or plain old True Blue!NOV 2011 UPDATE: After 1 year of dishwashing duty, my green True Blue gloves developed a pinhole leak and, are now retired to doing light duty as my 'dry weather' gardening gloves :))JUNE 2013 UPDATE: My replacement pair is now 17 months old and is still doing active dishwashing duty! However, the cotton inner liner has gotten understandably thinner after over a year and a half of daily use and dozens of baths in the clothes washer :))I am going to 'retire' this pair now, solely for the comfortable feel of the thicker cotton lining in a new pair of  True Blue gloves !I certainly got my money's worth out of these gloves over the years ... but still, I wouldn't mind if these gloves were more affordably priced.Hope my review and updates were helpful ...

These are the thickest most industrial quality gloves I've found so far after around 6 different brands, and I would rate them a rock-solid five stars if they didn't advertise them for dishwashing. They are really awkward for residential dishwashing, the fingers are not shaped well for fine scale work. They also run large but even at the right size I don't think they would feel natural for dishwashing. It's like trying to pick up a dime wearing mittens. But they do seem to be extremely durable and would be great for other types of work. So my search for simple, durable dishwashing gloves continues....I am updating this because they are actually lasting pretty well, no holes. Anyway, I can feel the mesh material inside is starting to shred. As to the awkwardness, I think I will try them again, and just order a size, smaller… The outer layer is really nice and thick…

How many pairs of cheapy gloves have you purchased over the years? I would burn through a pair in less than a month. Tossing it into the garbage felt so unnecessary, and grated against my desire to live a reasonably earth-friendly life. The alternative was immersing the hands in hot soapy water, which as we all know, leads to red, dry, rough skin. I would begrudgingly return to those earth-sucking gloves, feel guilty about adding to the landfill and on and on the cycle would repeat. This all stopped when I met these little magic blue guys.QUALITY: The gloves are made of a sturdy vinyl, eliminating any worries concerning latex allergies. They are lined with thick cotton -- I mean thick cotton, not the wimpy stuff that pills and deteriorates all over your hands. This enables your hands to feel nice and comfy while you use the hottest of water.GRIP: The fingertips are textured, which assists when you're holding a sudsy item. This is completely subjective, but I personally wish they were slightly more textured so I could have a better grip. I don't have the strongest of hands, and sometimes when the dishcloth is inside the glass cup, I have a little slipping action occurring. This is easily remedied with by holding the glass with a clean hand towel. And, let it be known this has been an issue with almost every glove I have used. And this also doesn't happen every time.FIT: The gloves are about 12" long with a nice form-fitting cuff that allows you to tuck your shirt sleeves in, prevents water from accidentally seeping in. I have remarkably small hands, so the small was actually too large by about 1/2" on each finger. This was not a problem, but most likely, now that I think about it, attributed to the issue I described under GRIP.CARE: It is of utmost importance that these, as with any gloves, be aired out properly. This not only lengthens the life of the gloves but prevents them from smelling. Another reviewer mentioned washing his gloves. He turned them inside out and placed the washer setting on gentle (line dry). Mine are not yet at that point, but certainly good to know for future reference.COLOR: I appreciate that the gloves are offered in a variety of colors and not female-specific. Ladies: You certainly don't want to discourage the men in your life from doing some heavy cleaning by offering them your pink polk dotted gloves! While cute for us, most fellows would not appreciate them. (Although, my husband wouldn't give a rip...but not all men are as secure in their masculinity. Sorry, guys, don't mean to generalize!)Without question I would recommend the True Blues Ultimate Household Gloves, and am actually going to buy another pair for the husband, so he can quite stealing mine!

Don't bother with these gloves. They are overpriced and you can find the same terrible fitting gloves at Walmart for a fourth of this selling price. I was hoping that these were same gloves on the right side of the attached pic, but they're not. The glove has fat fingers where you can't hold on to dishes. Also, these are NON REFUNDABLE. I feel ripped off purchasing these.

These gloves have been used almost daily since getting them a couple of months ago. They are really comfortable, don't leak at all, a the rubber doesn't have any weird smell. They are thin enough to have a good grip on things and allows for good maneuverability, but still thick enough that I can wash in very hot water without a problem.Update: After about 10 months of use, these gloves have worn down, causing a rip allowing water to seep in.

I have worn 'True Blues' rubber gloves for a number of years for washing up and gardening etc., and find them to be the best I have ever used. They are more expensive than a certain brand of yellow gloves but are much tougher and also far more comfortable to wear with the flock lining, and they are not 'slippery' when wet. Unfortunately they are not always available in shops so I buy them online, and over the years have obtained them in blue, green and red! If I have one complaint about them it is that the right thumb is seemingly always the one to develop a tiny 'leak' after a certain amount of use. However, that does not deter me from buying True Blues, and I do recommend them.

All around fantastic. Great for personal use at home and a great gift for those women whose hands we care about:)

Have been buying these True Blues rubber gloves for a number of years and would not go back to using any other rubber gloves! They are so easy to put on and especially to take off because of the flock lining. If I have one single complaint it is that I have found that there is nearly always a minute 'leak' in the right hand glove usually on the tip of the thumb but recently it was on the right forefinger! I have sneaking suspicion that this is possibly done on purpose by the manufacturers because otherwise the gloves would last almost indefinitely!! It is odd too, because I generally use the gloves for washing-up and I am right-handed so I hold the dish mop in my right hand whereas the left hand is actually picking up the items to be washed .... plate, mug, cutlery etc. Due to sharp forks/knives etc., I would therefore expect the left glove to be the one to incur a 'hole/split' !! Would be interested to know if other True Blues users have experienced this!?
