About a year ago, I confessed on this site that I never wore gloves while washing dishes. But I tried them out, and after a week I was hooked — and now I can say that I'm a total convert. Dishwashing gloves protect your hands from hot water and allow you to avoid touching the slimiest stuff. These days, I'll barely wipe down a countertop without my gloves on. It's not that I'm prissy; it's just that pulling on a glove is so easy, so why would I do chores any other way?
When I wrote my first post, I was using Casabella's Waterblock Gloves ($7 per pair). At the time, the gloves were $14 a pair — a price the company has since cut by half!! — but many commenters complained that they were too expensive for dishwashing gloves. I get that. Over the past year, I've had the opportunity to try out gloves from a bunch of brands, and there are a few cheaper ones that I like almost as much as my original Casabellas.
Here are the best dishwashing gloves for $5 or less.
