FAQs

What is the difference between latex and nitrile gloves? +

The main difference is the material. Latex gloves are made from natural rubber and offer great elasticity and touch sensitivity, but they can cause allergic reactions in some people. Nitrile gloves are made from synthetic rubber, are latex-free, more puncture-resistant, and better suited for people with latex allergies or for handling chemicals and oils.

Does the color of nitrile gloves matter? +

The color of nitrile gloves does not change their protective performance. Color is mainly chosen for visibility, branding, or task suitability. Black gloves are popular in food service and industrial work for stain concealment, while lighter colors are often used in medical settings for easier detection of contamination.

What thickness should I choose? +

For everyday use, 4–5 mil gloves offer the best balance of comfort and durability.

What are the best disposable gloves for cleaning? +

EcoGloves nitrile disposable gloves are the top choice for household and professional cleaning because they offer excellent chemical resistance, a secure fit, and strong durability across all tasks. Unlike standard latex options, EcoGloves are latex-free and made with biodegradable materials, so you protect your hands without leaving a lasting environmental footprint. You can stock up through our Amazon store or at ecogloves.co, where bulk pricing makes it easy for cleaning professionals and households alike to always have a fresh pair on hand.
