I use the nitrile gloves for cleaning and wood refinishing. Keeps the varnish off my hands.
I was cleaning our bathroom once that was being remodeled and it was an old house so very dirty. I ended up with a staph infection in my thumb from a small cut I had.. After that, when cleaning bathrooms, I always use gloves.
I also have a tendency to react to stuff that I absorb through my skin, so the gloves help protect me from that as well. And in the winter, what with dry skin being a problem, it’s easier on my hands than having them crack and bleed from being extra dried out.
I’ve always had boxes of exam gloves around in the garage for working on cars, and in the basement workshop area. Wore them a few times grocery shopping during the early phase of all this, then stopped. I do mask up when at the grocery, and am not eating inside at restaurants.
