Marigold's official FAQ recommends rinsing reusable household gloves with warm water and a little detergent, then hanging them to dry. Its latex gloves may trigger allergies and are not intended for dangerous chemicals. This is not guidance for disposable, medical or chemical-protection gloves.

1. Read the pack for reusable status, material and compatible cleaning products. Avoid natural-latex gloves if you have a latex allergy; choose a suitable alternative.
2. Assign separate gloves for dishwashing and toilet cleaning. Avoid moving contamination between tasks, and check whether a glove is approved for direct food handling.
3. After use, gently wash the outside with warm water and a small amount of ordinary detergent, then rinse well. Do not assume gloves exposed to hazardous chemicals can be safely reused; follow the product and chemical safety labels.
4. Remove gloves by their cuffs without touching the soiled exterior with bare skin. Wash your hands with soap and water afterwards.
5. Hang the gloves in a ventilated place until the inside and outside are dry. Do not store them damp or in direct sunlight when the manufacturer advises against it.
6. Inspect for holes, tears, stickiness or contamination inside. Replace gloves that are damaged or cannot be hygienically cleaned, and store clean dry pairs separately by task.
