are these gloves sterile?

I apologize for not being able to give you an answer for that. They do hold up better than most, but I do not use them in a sterile environment, but I use them to keep my hands clean while working in the garden.

I have never clean them, I am using them for baking bread, but I think I need to get other kind of gloves since I am burning my hands...

No, they are not. The care instructions state to wash by hand. Lather them up with a mild soap, like hand soap or dish soap and then rinse thoroughly in cool water. Lay them down on a towel and place another towel on top. Pat them down to get out as much water as possible without wringing them. Then air dry by laying flat or hanging up out of direct sunlight. UV rays can damage the gloves.

I've never tired using the gloves with Chemicals, but I've found by reading on line, that some have experenced melting of the glove when using varnish, and other chemicals. So don't think I'd try using them for anything beyond domistic soap and water cleaning.

No. I had them on in the 20s and my hands were cold. These gloves are not good for anything cold.

I would say so. They're really waterproof. The only inconvenient is that if they're getting wet inside they'll stay wet for a long time. I think you can wear a pair of thinner gloves underneath if you often have to take the hand out of the glove.

don't know. I used mine right away but they appeared to be wrapped up tightly and everything sealed.

I believe they are. I've cleaned them before using desinfectant spray and water and it's still holding up. The seals seem air tight but you may want to ask the manufacturer (Bright Medic) directly to be sure.

They are meant to be disposable, not sterile when already opened. Luckily haven't experience, but then again might still work as a soft support.

Because they have leather in them I wash on gentle cycle, warm/cold settings and let air dry. I would not adivse putting in the dryer. I have had mine for several years and have no problems with them.Also I have a lady friend that is a body builder and she loves these gloves and has had no problems washing hers.

Hello Daffodil5!The answer to your question I believe is a yes. Washing your gloves would not affect the protection. They don't have any special coating! So wash away my friend....

no, they do not. My experience in the past with all non-latex gloves - if your hands are damp when using a smell will occur with use - water can seep into the top of the gloves when washing dishes, they need to stay dry inside to prevent a moldy smell. Hope this helps. You may also want to notify the customer service dept. of Mr. Clean products for more information. Thanks.

They are not like cleaning gloves. These are lined and protect your hands from the heat of the food you are handling. We use them to take meat from our smoker. Cleaning gloves wouldn't protect your hands.

They are not sterile cotton swabs. The package is not sterile. Qtips.com might be a good source for other questions or concerns.

It's "cumbersome", and no, they will not likely stand up to the use of chemicals. You will have to put up with gloves designed for chemical resistance. Sorry.

Gloves only smell bad after use if not cared for properly. It's an enclosed environment for bacteria to grow. After every use, and I do mean every use, I wipe them down with an antibacterial tissue, inside and out, then place them on a boot dryer which removes humidity, sweat, and leaves little for bacteria to grow on. I've never had an issue with them. It's common sense stuff. If they smell BEFORE use... No idea what to tell you. Sorry.

No, and am very glad they are not. They shouldn't be since they are used in delicate areas NOT as hand wipes.
