FAQ

FAQ — Cotton Gloves

1. What are Cotton Gloves?

Cotton gloves are protective handwear made from natural cotton fibres or cotton-blend yarns. They are soft, breathable, comfortable, and well-suited for light tasks or as liners under heavier gloves.

2. What are the advantages of cotton gloves?

They offer superior comfort and breathability, help absorb sweat, are often hypoallergenic, economical, and easy to wash and reuse. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

3. What are typical materials or blends used?

Common constructions include 100% cotton, cotton/polyester blends, cotton with PVC dots for grip, or cotton knit (seamless or ribbed) with knitted wrist cuffs. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

4. Which standards or ratings might they meet?

Cotton gloves often comply with general glove safety standards like EN 420 (“general requirements for protective gloves”). If reinforced or dotted, some may show mechanical protection ratings (e.g. abrasion, tear) under EN 388. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

5. What are the limitations of using cotton gloves?

They provide minimal protection from cuts, punctures, chemicals, or heat. Cotton quickly gets wet, may degrade under harsh conditions, and loses strength if left wet. They are best for tasks with low risk.

6. How should cotton gloves be cared for?

Wash with mild detergent at moderate temperature (often ≤ 40 °C), avoid tumble drying or harsh chemicals, air dry out of direct sunlight. Inspect for thinning, holes, or fraying before use. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

7. When should cotton gloves be replaced?

Replace if fabric is worn through, seams are damaged, grip features (if any) are deteriorated, or comfort / fit is no longer adequate. Also after repeated washing when integrity is compromised.

8. What tasks are cotton gloves suited for?

Light duty work: inspection, packaging, handling delicate or dry materials, clean-room liner work, general maintenance, gardening, painting prep, and as under-gloves for warmth or sweat control. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
