Nontoxic Cleaning Gloves?QUESTION: Looking for some gloves that i can wear when house cleaning. i tried a pair of 100% latex gloves from the local linen n things (the long purple ones with cuffs). but the smell was horriffic! i've been airing it out outside for 2 weeks, and although the smell has gotten better, it still lingers.
unsure if these are considered toxic w/ all the outgassing etc.
are there a pair non toxic gloves you might recommend? also, would appreciate a rec for a purchasing source.
thank you.

DEBRA'S ANSWER:
I personally don't wear gloves when cleaning, so I don't have experience with this. Readers?
Debra :-)
COMMENTS: I use Poly-D disposable polyethelene gloves - "FoodMates." So far I can't find any others that I can tolerate.
My husband buys them at a restaurant supply store in town - 500 gloves for about $15, I think. They're flimsy but they work for me. They are manufactured by Ansell Protective Products, 1300 Walnut Street, P.O. Box 6000, Coshocton, OH 43812-6000 - 1-800-558-5859. I think they're like the ones used for food preparation in restaurants. Hope this helps.
COMMENT FROM DEBRA: They have a website at www.ansellpro.com, but looks like no online ordering. They do, however, have a long list of distributors aross the country with links to their websites, so they should be easy to find.
