Disposable Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves - Uses & Review

Nitrile Gloves
Nitrile Gloves are an essential product in our home.  Long before the pandemic, my husband and I always used disposable powder-free nitrile gloves for a variety of jobs. 

Because Nitrile gloves are made of thick vinyl, they are more durable, puncture resistant, and more resistant to chemicals than plastic gloves.  They are almost like wearing a second skin since they stretch over your hands.

I wear nitrile gloves for any housework that requires the use of cleaners or chemicals.  I wear them when I clean bathrooms, cleaning the kitchen sink or spots on rugs & carpet, changing linens when someone has been sick, cleaning my stove top, cleaning inside my refrigerator, and many other daily tasks.

We love animals and our dogs have always lived indoors.  With pets, come accidents. While these are rare incidents, it is necessary to be prepared for the inevitable. Pets can't always get outside when they have upset stomachs. Thus, we keep a ready supply of Nature's Miracle and nitrile gloves for the cleanups.

We also use them for applying ointments or creams on humans or pets.  The nitrile gloves protect hands and help prevent the inadvertent spread of a rash.   

Plus, my husband wears Nitrile gloves when he is picking up after our pups in our backyard or on walks. That is a job he has primarily taken on, but I certainly perform the task as needed.  It is definitely unpleasant, but would be exponentially worse without the Nitrile gloves.

Once we use the gloves, we throw them away.  

 

Uses for Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves 

There are so many uses for Nitrile Gloves around the house that I doubt I will be able to list them all, simply because I might not recall them all as I am writing this article.

Starting with the uses above, here are some of times we reach for our disposable Nitrile gloves. 

  •  MedPride Powder-Free Nitrile Exam GlovesCheck PriceCleaning Bathrooms
  • Cleaning Kitchens
  • Cleaning Appliances (not to be used when appliances are hot)
  • Cleaning Floors, Carpets & Rugs
  • Changing Linens (especially after illness)
  • Picking Up After Pets
  • Applying Ointments or Creams 
  • Attending to Cuts or Wounds
  • When Pumping Gas into the Cars
  • Changing Oil in Cars
  • Cleaning Glass, Windshields in Cars & Home 
  • Cleaning Outdoor Furniture
  • Painting
  • Picking Up Litter, especially from unknown sources

Whatever has a potential for germs or exposure to chemicals, we use the disposable Nitrile gloves.  Because skin is absorbent, we choose to protect it from anything we would not willingly ingest. 

Can you think of other ways you would use disposable Nitrile gloves?


One more note:  They do come in sizes.  My husband wears the X-large and I wear the small or medium, depending on which is available. I am wearing a medium size glove in the introduction picture. You can see it doesn't fit my hands quite as well as the small, but it works!

  1. For sure these are a must have in the house. We use them for food preparation all the time, especially when I'm handling meat. Just last week our daughter was here preparing some food for the the playoff football game and needed gloves. Unfortunately we were out of them. I quickly ran out to buy more.

  2. I have used these when doing some crafts, paint, glue and other such things get on your hands, under your fingernails and in places you just don't want them. They are indespensible in our home too! Great review!

  3. Nitrile gloves are a necessity for many (or all) of the reasons you listed. I first discovered them when I was working at Ace Hardware. The boxes of 100 were a very popular purchase of customers. So handy that you can just throw them away after use. Those long gloves you use over and over are too bulky and require cleaning/disinfecting after use. Love the 'second skin' feel of the Nitrile gloves. Most excellent review of a very handy product.

  4. We always have nitrile gloves on hand in both my husband’s and my sizes. In addition to all the uses you mentioned, I also use them for protecting my hands against caustic or potentially toxic chemicals, such as many patina solutions, when I am making jewelry. There are so many uses for nitrile gloves and I much prefer them to latex rubber gloves.

  5. These look more durable than the box of disposable gloves we use. My husband loves having these on hand for multiple tasks around the house. I'm actually wondering if this isn't the brand that he uses; I'm going to have to check.
