Thats a good way. Ultimately, if you use them for long enough and get heavy grease and tranny fluid on them, they get so saturated that it becomes hard to get it all out.

Best to have a set of gloves for messy jobs and a set for not as messy jobs
Brake Cleaner will clean the grimiest one's after testing for colorfastness. ;) Or the Original Go-Jo Hand Cleaner kneaded into the gloves, warm water rinse, air dry, then repeat.

So, I just "git dirty" like was previously posted.

YMMV but when it comes to gloves on the job mine = 0

For regular work, I use latex gloves. Regular gloves will tear quite easily, but our local SnapOn truck and online retailers all stock the Safegrip gloves, which are much thicker. Generally you can use them quite a few times before they start tearing, and you don't really lose any dexterity while wearing them. Also, you can just spray them off and they're clean as new.

I have tried, but the loss of dexterity is an issue for me. I have used "Mechanix" brand gloves as well as latex and nitrile versions.

The "hard" gloves result in a lack of feel, and the "rubber" ones are difficult to put on on and tear easily

I just "get dirty" and wash my hands afterward. YMMV.

As for your gloves I would put some Tide in a small container and soak them in that. If you don't have Tide on hand use Woolite and if you don't have either one of those pick up a small bottle or box of Tide.

But do check out the latex gloves. Just wouldn't wear them for something that is real hot but they are all I use now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Keeping-mechanic-gloves-clean-22625092 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:47:29 EDT Keeping mechanic gloves clean? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Keeping-mechanic-gloves-clean-22624191
What do you all do to keep your gloves clean? Just buy a new pair every few months? Use rubber glove over it while dealing with really dirty/oily jobs? Other?
