What’s your favorite gloves?
I usu do not wear gloves when working in garden but I do hate trying to get all the dirt from around my nails… What’s your favorite gloves?
I always put them on. and no matter what I'm doing, I rip them things off within 2-3 minutes, I just cant work in gloves of any kind. period.
One gal said she rubs bar soap under her nails so the dirt washes out easily at the end of the day. Otherwise I buy the rubber gardening gloves from Costco gardenia latex gloves.
Fox gloves are my favorite. Not good for thorns but great for everything else. I have 7 pairs a clean pair for every day as they are washable.
I have a hard time keeping gloves on. Our dirt stains my hands & feet. I soak them in warm water with a bit of mouthwash. It sounds strange but it works like a charm.
Scrape your nails over a bar of soap before working in the garden. Supposedly, the soap in your nails will keep the dirt out.
I just use a hand & nail brush to scrub around & under my nails when I'm done. Walmart sells this one for about $3.


I don't wear gloves either. I cut a lemon in half, put one half in a bowl and knead it with my fingers, digging my nails into it. 5-10 minutes. Works every time.
I used to hate to wear gloves but in construction I was required to wear them 100% of the time for safety. You adapt and get used to them for all things except tape. Now I am uncomfortable not wearing them. But I still get my nails and cuticles dirty. I need to try the soap trick.
Scratch a soap bar with Nall your nails. It will feel a little weird at first but no dirt when you wash your hands.
I wear these ones. Last forever, good water protection and just trow them in the wash when needed and they come out as new.
