The types of rubber gloves differ as per the different fields wherein they are being used. The durability of such gloves depends on the kind of requirement for which it is called for. The most popular of all are the latex gloves which are often used in the medical field. Though Nitrile rubber gloves are also used for medical purposes except surgery, latex rubber is found better for surgical usage.

Latex rubber is characterized by ample amount of elasticity, slip resistance and durable material form. Since it is leak and tear resistant, medical professionals prefer to use only latex gloves in surgery. Also, these gloves are exceptional in wet or watery situations, thereby providing extra sensitivity to the wearer while using surgical tools and instruments. Being light and fitting, it lets the wearer get hold of things in the most natural manner.

Though even after having so many advantages, latex gloves are infamous for the allergies which they tend to render to the wearer owing to its natural chemical composition. The constituting protein in latex rubber may cause adverse effect on skin. Powdered latex gloves are all the more vulnerable as the carrier of that allergic protein.

Nitrile on the other hand is an alternative to latex rubber. Nitrile rubber is a synthetic rubber hence, sans protein. Thus, these gloves are safe to use without being allergic to the skin. Nitrile rubber gloves interact with the heat of the palms of the wearer, thereby providing a snug and cozy fit for increased sensitivity.

Quite similar to latex, nitrile too, is soft and chemical resistant but the only point of difference between nitrile and latex is that nitrile is not that good in wet situations and hence is avoided for surgical purposes, though it finds its usage in auto and industrial units. Pharmaceutical, dental, law enforcement and some household chores are other areas where nitrile rubber can be put to use.

Do You REALLY Need Goalkeeper Glove Cleaner?

Bizzybee Multi Purpose Rubber Gloves Medium (Pack of 6) 

By Ray J Newland

I am constantly asked by my students, do I believe in paying money for goalkeeper glove cleaner that you now see advertised on goalkeeper coaching shops.

To be honest, I do not think it's worth paying any money.

By the way, I am not saying these glove cleaners are bad, they are not because I have spoken to a few goalkeeping students of mine who swear by this stuff, but me personally I would rather save the money and not buy this cleaner, then put this money saved towards a new pair of gloves.

Goalkeeping Gloves are a VERY fragile products and if you wash them wrong, you could easily ruin them. I have done this with my gloves sooooo many times over the years were I washed them wrong and had to throw them away, and I had only used them once!

So what do I use if I do not use glove cleaner?

As basic as it sounds, I just use clean luke warm water, and I DO NOT add any detergent, cleaner etc, I use pure water. This has worked very well for me in my 20+ years of playing in goal at the highest levels. And my gloves have always lasted me a long time doing it this way, thus saving me money!

Another tip:

One of the things that I do after a game as sad as this sounds is I jump in the shower wearing my gloves and clean them this way. Yes I know very sad but it works for me.

Another thing that I do is when I get home, is fill a bowl of luke warm water, I then:

1: Gently wash my gloves with my fingers until I get the dirt off.

2: Rinse my Gloves.

3: Repeat number 1 and 2, so you are getting all dirt off gloves.

Cleaning my goalkeeper gloves in this manner has helped my gloves last longer and preserved my grip, so please give my go a bash. Plus it saves you money!
