It’s one of those small inexpensive changes with big impact. I know it gives 1950s housewife but hear me out.
Pros:
- you can use the hottest possible water
- keeps you from getting premature hand wrinkles
- The lack of sensory input to your hands (water, soap, sponge, gross wet food) allows you to energetically and emotionally separate yourself from the task while you daydream, listen to a podcast, or watch something on a nearby screen.
- after you’re done you take them off and it’s like you were never even there. The only evidence is a pile of clean dishes.
- the threshold for how many dishes you can stand to do increases exponentially, you feel unstoppable. Maybe you shouldn’t take the gloves off yet, maybe you can also wipe down the counters…maybe also take out the garbage…unclog the shower drain. Before you know it you’ve deep cleaned your home. your hands remain obliviously soft and dry.
Cons:
- they tear sometimes and you gotta replace them
I get the extra long ones so water for sure doesn’t get inside
