These long waterproof silicone gloves protect your hands and wrists from water, soap and grime while you wash dishes, scrub surfaces or handwash clothes. Short gloves let water pour in at the wrist the moment you reach into a full sink or basin; the long cuff on these extends up the forearm so your sleeves and skin stay dry. That matters in Kenyan homes where handwashing laundry and big after-dinner washing-up sessions are routine, and where harsh detergents leave hands dry and cracked. The soft, skin-friendly silicone is comfortable for long chores, and the gloves rinse clean and dry quickly so they are ready for the next task. Pick blue, green or pink, and keep one pair for dishes and another for cleaning so kitchen and bathroom jobs never share gloves.

Buying guide
Buy at least two pairs in different colours and assign them: one for dishes and food prep, one for toilets, floors and bins. It is the easiest way to keep the kitchen hygienic. Pull the cuff high before you start, and roll the top edge outward slightly so drips run off rather than down your arm. After use, rinse the outside with clean water while still wearing them, then peel them off and hang them upside down to dry. Keep them away from hot jikos, oven trays and sharp knives, as heat and blades are the quickest way to damage any glove. Store them flat, away from direct sun.
How it compares
Thin disposable gloves tear quickly and create waste, and short rubber gloves let water in over the wrist. These long silicone gloves are reusable and cover far more of the arm, which makes them better for deep sinks, laundry basins and heavy cleaning. For very quick tasks a short glove is easier to slip on, but for real chores the long cuff wins.
