Seep Fair trade rubber gloves (plastic-free)

Seep rubber cleaning gloves are good quality and made with natural rubber, but unlike most brands, sold in cardboard. They have textured fingers to grip items. Use with plastic-free cleaning cloths and sponges.

Designed with soft lining for extra comfort, each pack includes 3 packs of gloves which should last you a long time. Made ethically in Sri Lanka, choose from small, medium or large sizes (rinse with water after use, dry out between uses, and store away from sunlight (to prevent mould).

The natural rubber is sourced from trees by tapping (like maple syrup, this does not require trees to be chopped down). So does not contribute to deforestation. And this company also donates to reforestation projects, to offset the carbon from shipping the rubber.

Avoid for latex allergies. Use a separate pair for dishwashing, than cleaning. At end of use, cut them up (to speed up biodegradation) and pop in your bin!

• Choose unscented cleaning and washing-up products  for pregnancy/nursing (or around babies/pets including cleaning bowls). Citrus oils in particular are toxic to pets, even if rinse and dried on surfaces and floors.
• Replace chlorine bleach with natural oxygen bleach to remove tea/coffee cup stains. Never mix any kind of bleach with acid (lemon or cleaning vinegar) as it causes toxic gas.
