    The names may be different here in the U.S., but at home I never wash a dish without my gloves made from nyplex. Latex gloves don't really agree with me (no allergy that I know of, it just gives me the heebie-jeebies). The brand is Mr. Clean and the lining is like cotton (not sure what material, but it seems gentle on my skin). I replace them every month or so - one pair for pots/kitchen ware and another for cleaning jobs like bathrooms. 

    With good gloves, it may not matter what cleansers you use. We use Dawn for dishes and all kinds of cleaners for the appliances, bathrooms, etc.

    Hi I only use cotton gloves inside marigolds, I use dermal hand wash  from the hospital but they only recommend for 3 months then it's back to a mild hand wash. I can't use laxex gloves as they irritate, I use ordinary washing up liquid but i don't wash up without gloves. Good luck

    Hi Lynne - the very best gloves to use are Lakeland Deluxe Moisturising Gloves. I have psoriasis on my hands and they are often very dry, sore and irritated. They are new from Lakeland and have Moisyl moisturising, are hypo-allergenic and are also latex, nitril and phthalate free!! I have small hands but buy medium size 8 so they are not tight on my hands. They are the only gloves that I have found to be perfect for my skin condition. They did have an offer on - buy 3 pairs for the price of 2. I cannot imagine they would irritate you at all. Hope this helps.
