Dermatitis on hands. What's suitable to protect them when washing bike?

[Milena]

I have Dermatitis on hands. This means any contact with cleaning detergents and they get mad dry. Flaky.

What's suitable to protect them when washing my bike?

Could you wear washing up gloves?

 

[Milena]

Could you wear washing up gloves?

Yes, but won't those tear easily? Having to handle the bike in them...

No.

The nitrile type might, but a good pair of marigolds would work a treat.

No.

I can vouch for that

Heavy duty washing up gloves would do the job. Take a trip to your local Wilko. Oh, wait....

Can't find any. Bought bathroom marigold washing gloves from tesco in size medium, today, as its the only size in that glove they do. Bathroom because longer sleeves of the gloves. £3.10
I need size large as medium is too tight. But large is too loose. But they don't do a in between size.

Had these before and even though stored correctly and used to clean the bathroom, they got holes in the finger webbing area.

Marigold gloves are crap. Almost everything is produced with the objective of making sure it breaks down so that consumers buy it again. And again. Planned obsolense, however it's spelt. 😡

Maybe some thin cotton gloves under the marigolds can make it a bit more comfortable

 

[I like Skol]

Don't wash your bike

I often wear nitrile gloves, after several cleans they will eventually tear at a finger end but they cost pence.
Buy a box of 100 for around £5.

What? What's 'in excess' ? You wrote FROM before it. A store in the UK is called IN EXCESS?!

Nitrile gloves do the trick. You will nowadays see most car mechanics wearing them where there is much more chance of snagging and tearing than on a bike.
I always use them with no problems.

I always keep some in the car also for when filling up with diesel.

Addis do some fleece-lined rubber gloves. They would be just right.

I use Grippaz gloves after a recommendation from a car mechanic friend. They're great for a lot of jobs around the house, the bikes and car maintenance and are very tough. Quite often get several wears out of a pair. Currently £7.20 for 50 , postage extra.
