Glove Up - Alternative uses for Rubber Gloves

Rubber gloves will help you with more than simply scrubbing up, put them to use all over the place!

1. Rubber gloves give you a great non-slip grip on everything from a stuck jar lid, to kids in the tub!

2. Cut the fingers off of an old pair of rubber gloves and slip them over the tops of mops and brooms; when you lean them against the wall they don't slip or make marks on the wall. Or slip them over chair feet to protect the floors. They're also great when slipped over the jaws of a wrench or pliers to prevent slipping or marring a surface.

3. Cut the cuffs off a rubber glove to make a large-scale rubber band.

4. Fill a rubber glove with water, roll the cuff and clip it closed with a bag clip. Then stick it in the freezer. Once frozen it makes a great, and inexpensive ice pack for sore muscles or the cooler on your next picnic.

5. Before you pull gloves on, coat your hands with your favorite hand cream, as you work the heat and lotion will work together to give you super-soft hands.

6. If you're having trouble getting your gloves off just run them under cold water for a few seconds, and they'll come right off!

So glove up! It's just that simple!
