These Household Rubber Gloves are super strong which makes them perfect for a variety of uses such as dishwashing, general household cleaning and bathroom cleaning. However, we would always recommend using a separate pair of gloves for dishwashing versus all other cleaning just to be extra safe.
These If You Care Household Gloves are made from 100% FSC Certified, fairly traded rubber latex which means the rubber has been sourced from a responsibly managed plantation. In fact, the rubber tappers, who cut the bark to get the raw material flowing, have received a fair trade premium which helps to improve the lives of their families but also the economy in their village. Being made from 100% latex means there are absolutely no synthetic fillers which helps to make them extra strong.
These gloves are also lined with 100% natural cotton from renewable sources, helping your hands stay protected and make sure they fit comfortably!
Due to the fact these gloves are made from all-natural materials, they are fully compostable (cool right?!) You can do this by cutting them into small pieces with scissors and adding them to your compost!
Natural rubber vs synthetic rubber
Our fair trade rubber gloves are made of 100% natural rubber, but a lot of rubber products are made from synthetic rubber. So what is the difference? Well, natural rubber (surprise, surprise) is derived from a natural source - the “rubber tree” or Hevea brasiliensis. Synthetic rubber on the other hand is made from petroleum-based chemicals, which as we all know, are really harmful to the environment and are contributing to global warming.
Natural rubber can also come with its challenges (we know, it’s a minefield isn’t it?!) with deforestation being the main concern. We would always suggest trying to buy rubber products that have been produced from a sustainable and ethical source to ensure it is as environmentally friendly as possible. Our rubber gloves are a perfect example!

Everyone needs a good pair of rubber gloves in their household arsenal. These If You Care Rubber Gloves are our go-to when we are either cleaning or washing up! Not only are they a rather Chimney Sheep green (which of course we love) but are extremely practical too. They are durable, made of 100% natural rubber latex with no fillers, have roll-top cuffs to help them stay up and have an excellent grip which means less dropping of soapy plates whilst washing up.
These rubber gloves also have a 100% natural cotton lining (which has come from renewable sources) and have been specially formulated for increased protection from heat and house household detergents – good news for your hands (and that manicure you got last week!).

At the core of Chimney Sheep is our Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT). For every purchase you make with us, 20% of the profit facilitates the planting of trees on agriculturally poor land in Cumbria.
We set up BLPT in 2019 as a ‘boots on the ground’ tree planting initiative. The company is run by us and the tree planting is done by us. We do it to help you and us to reduce our impact on the planet. The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife.
BLPT isn’t a tick box exercise nor a distant and detached carbon offset company. In fact, this is as much part of our business as the products we sell and is an integral part of our ethos. We are big believers in the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ and want to make a genuine difference
I buy these gloves on repeat, because they fit well, are strong and last for ages and when one springs a leak you just cut it up into strips and pop into the food recycling bin.

Comfortable gloves and seem to be hard-wearing so far. Also love the colour!

I’m suffering with “Pandemic hands” from so much antibacterial gel and hand washing and consequently get through a lot of gloves. So I bought several pairs of these a few weeks ago and am very pleased with them. They are reasonably priced, already wearing much better than other brands I’ve tried, and it’s a big plus to be able to support Fair Trade.
