Ok, so cleaning gloves and marigolds are not the most sexiest or the most fashionable things to wear. But you’ll definitely find them worth wearing after reading the St Anne’s Cleaning Guide to Wearing Gloves!

#1: Gloves can prevent you from getting sick

Think of all the bacteria you will get in contact with while you’re cleaning. Your bathroom, toilet and kitchen sink are full of Salmonella and E. Coli bacteria. Also, do you realise how dirty your dishcloth and sponges are? They are the dirtiest things in your house. Even if you are not wearing gloves and washing your hands after you have done the cleaning, it will not help to kill the bacteria. So do not put yourself at any risk! Wear cleaning gloves whilst cleaning!

#2: Gloves protect against chemical burns

Don’t ever expose your skin to any chemicals like vinegar, ammonia or bleach! These chemicals will cause your skin’s natural oil barriers to be removed and at its worst cause chemical burns. To prevent this from happening to you we recommend you to wear cleaning gloves when cleaning!

#3: Gloves will keep your skin from being exposed to hot water

Getting dry, rough and grimy hands from washing the dishes does not necessarily have to happen when you are wearing gloves.

What do you think that exact same hot water you use to melt all the dirt off your dishes does to your skin? Right, nothing good.

Dermatologists are warning people that hot water can cause those oils that keep your skin soft and supple to strip off.

Wearing dish gloves while washing your dishes in hot water will keep your hands protected. Also, you will be able to wash your dishes in much hotter water than your hands could ever handle when they are not wearing gloves, which will make the process go way faster!

Cleaning gloves are a great accessory to the kitchen but we recommend leaving cleaning to the professionals.

Need help with cleaning your kitchen appliances?

St Anne’s Cleaning recommend the following tips:

Cleaning your Kettle:

If you use an electric kettle and have more harsh water than some, your kettle will need cleaning after a while. You might see white deposits or marks inside. Fill your kettle to the full line with vinegar. Boil, allow to cool. Boil again and pop in few tablespoons of salt. Swish it around, pour the contents out and fill with cool water. Re-boil (might have to do it twice) and the white deposits will have dissolved and it will look new.

Cleaning your Microwave:

Before starting, remove any plates and movable parts from the microwave and wash these separately (see instruction booklet for advice). Then fill a bowl with water and one tablespoon of white vinegar and place in the microwave. Then turn on (high power) for about 5 mins, wipe down the inside of the microwave with a microfibre cloth. The steam should have loosened any dirt on the inside. Placing a half a lemon and microwaving on low for a minute or two will freshen it up.

Cleaning your Food Processor:

If your machine is in need of some cleaning attention, start by soaking any removable parts, for example, a blade, bowl in warm water and use washing-up liquid. Use something small such as a clean toothbrush to get into the nooks and crannies. Some bowls can be washed in the dishwasher, but avoid washing the blades this way. Then rinse well and dry the blades before replacing. After each use, fill the processor halfway with a mixture of water and washing up liquid and run for a second. Then rinse and wipe dry. This will ensure that you are not left with any crusty residue.

Cleaning Coffee Machines:

Built-in coffee machines and bean-to-cup coffee machines will have specific instructions on how best to clean them including using de-calcifying products. However, traditional filter coffee machines, like the more modern variety if left uncleaned, can harbour a whole host of nasty bacteria! Firstly, empty your coffee pot and discard any grounds. Secondly, add vinegar and water and fill the coffee pot with equal measures of vinegar and water (usually 3 cups). Then, fill the water chamber with the solution and turn on the coffee maker and run for a full cycle. Once this is done, rinse, run two only water cycles and your coffee should taste so much better!.

We hope you find these tips useful. Alternatively, why not leave the cleaning to the professionals?
