Sorry about Daisy. I’m sure Elle is not bothered by her deafness, since it rarely bothers dogs.

[@ITSJBTV]

I am so sorry about Daisy passing James. I am new to streaming on KZbin but watch all of your videos. Seen Daisy in many of them, she wasn't a fan of much but it was great seeing her at times. Keep up the great work, I look forward to the next video. :)

Your videos are sure appreciated! It's nice to see something besides sickness and sadness. Give Bailey a big hug.

Re: the soap staying on the gloves- I don't rinse the dishes after each one. Scrub and wash and wait until the sink is full to rinse them. You save water that way and the soap stays on the gloves until you don't need them anymore.

Sponge disadvantage----bacteria buildup even with rinsing it--having to throw away after only a couple uses or even one use. If lack of bacteria is an issue to a person sponges are horrible

[@Adam2774]

Aww poor Daisy she will be missed 💔

[@wysgyeman]

One thing I like about the silicone gloves and scrubbers is that food does not get stuck in them. I think that they are cleaner/fresher/less germ-y than sponges. I have no sponges! I use all silicone gloves and scrubbers and also brushes.

[@helenamiller8758]

Daisy Will be missed. THe Secret to getting almost all Dishes with dried on food clean is to let it sit and soak in HOT Water till the food is soft. The food will come off easier after a good soaking.

[@ayekantspeylgud]

Helena Miller - true, but the abrasive side of the sponge is superior regardless

[@EthelredHardrede-nz8yv]

If it is really bad you can try using a bit of meat tenderizer. This may not work if the food is carbonized but what it does is break the proteins up.

[@MistyShadows007]

HOT WATER and SOAP does the trick better. I will say if there is going to be silicone anything it should be made firmer for dish washing purposes.

[@moonlighttiger5278]

If its super caked on or burnt to the bottom half fill it with water, bring it to a boil and add 1/2 spoon of bicarbonate of soda and let it boil for 15 mins.

[@marilynbrinley2365]

When I first saw the advertisement for these gloves, I remembered the story my mother used to tell me about when she worked at a small town diner. The owner was convinced that the staff couldn’t properly hand wash dishes (yes, this was long ago in a home town far away) if they used a wash cloth. So he insisted his staff wash the diner’s patrons’ dishes with their bare hands. Yum!

[@FrozenUSA]

I was thinking about products for you to review and I was surprised that you have done several Ronco products. It never the “set it and forget it” rotisserie. That would be interesting to review as a side by side to any of your other products that have a rotisserie capability. It’s such a classic product by such a classic company. I would love to see you review this one. I’m so sorry to hear that Daisy passed away. It’s comforting to know she passed away due to old age and not a serious illness. Glad to see Elle still alive and mostly well. She’s so cute. It was hilarious to see Bailey walking around in the background doing her own thing while you talked about your other two dogs. Bailey is the best sidekick to your videos. You should have her in more videos these days. People need to smile more in these tough times and Bailey definitely does that for me at least.

I've used the gloves. The best way is to use only one glove so you can grip things, and wash with the gloved hand. I liked them. :)

[@marylhere]

Thought they'd be perfect for my son who likes to do the dishes...they kinda slip off while working...they need to have bristles on both sides. Better for scrubbing the tub maybe. We were disappointed. Maybe I could try brushing the dog...or a dog tug toy. Total fail.

[@pascalenimue1392]

For me too.

[@ReyaadGafur]

I am someones son and i dont like washing dishes. This glove would make my scrubbing ineffective. Much rather use a steel wool pad or abrasive sponge.

[@laurajose779]

I'm sorry to hear about Dasiy. Even though she isn't here she'll be forever in your heart. I got a pair of those gloves and I love them,I presoak whatever needs soaking. My problem is they only came in one size at that time and I can barely get it on my right hand and forget about the left hand.big hand from my dad's side.😢

[@cyberi4a]

Sorry to hear about Daisy. Doesn't seem like anyone would need those gloves.

[@nrieh4553]

My mom had got me a pair of those. I was very skeptical at first, and I still think that the use is very situational, but they're not terrible. I use dishwasher for most of the stuff, but some non-stick pans and baking tools are hand-washed. The gloves are good for something large and not too messy, like routine cleaning of pans, bakeware or kitchen surfaces. I've been trying to go waste-free, and I think that those gloves are better than using the plastic sponges anyway.

[@allydog3452]

I'm sorry to hear about sweet Daisy. 😮‍💨 Not sure if you read comments this long after a video post but I use these gloves to give my dogs a bath. They are great because they help with the suds in the thick fur and you can really massage the shampoo into their fur and clean them up well. That's what I use them for and because I left them outside after their last bath, my dogs tore it to bits playing tug of war. So there you go, 2 good uses for the gloves. 🙂

[@Freakinreviews]

I read member comments back pretty far :) Thank you regarding Daisy, and I appreciate the tips regarding these gloves! That are great ideas!

[@garygwhicks5856]

[@belaayya5094]

So sorry to hear about Daisy. I know you show Bailey a lot, but Daisy was always my favorite. I have a thing for old folks, I guess.

[@pprreejj]

Here's an idea. Just use one glove. Keep left hand free for rinsing and grip. I also think the point of these gloves is the overall reduction of fatigue as opposed to holding a normal sponge in your hand which may cause you to sprain your hand. A comparison of a whole load of dishes would be great.

[@ShanaynayGosby]

[@prebenkul]

The second glass test was a UNFAIR comparison. Just because there is 2 gloves, doesn't mean you have to use both! The only reason there's 2 is because some people are right handed, while others are left.

[@Haneven]

I thought the same. You can use one glove to scrub with and hold the glass with a bare hand...same as with the sponge.

[@iamwhatiam4075]

Thank you!! I love that there are so many resposible people out there, encouraging good stuff, and engaging people. :)

[@TacticalPower88]

I get that the test wasnt supposed to be scientific but of course the object that has a longer time to soak is going to be easier to clean. Really apparent with the cups especially.

I would give those gloves a 5-star review simply for the noise they make every time you turn on the faucet. lols. Thanks for the continued content.

[@ladylindakaye1]

First: Sorry for your loss. Second: If I had that product, I would just use the one for my dominant hand and leave the other one bare since you only use one hand for scrubbing and washing and the other one to hold on to the item being washed. Third: The copper pan, did you periodically season it? I had a pan similar to that one (my was the green as seen on TV) that had in the instructions that you had to season the pan before first using it and after so many uses. It the same for every non-stick fry pan and cast-iron skillet I've ever owned. Fourth: I would do instagram and twitter, if I understood how it works. Fifth: Thanks for the reviews. Keep them coming.

[@margaretmccullough4457]

OK I’m about to admit something here. You know those really cheap gloves that you get at the grocery store for a dollar. Whenever my kids lose one of them I take the other one and use it as a dish cloth and general cleaning rag/glove It works really well and when I’m done with it I can turn it inside out and throw it in the dirty clothes. I wish you would try those

So sorry about Daisy. My Chihuahua is 19. She can hear and see but she has lost a lot of teeth so her tongue protrudes. She's still a diva and will go after any dog that enters her personal space.

[@DarKnightKilla13]

Great review as always sir, and thanks again for the new format! I wonder if those gloves would almost be better for like shower scrubbing or scrubbing tile grout... mainly since they cover your whole hand and have all the teeth, albeit softer than you'd prefer, and can retain soap pretty well.

Not sure that it would change the results, but you gave the sponge an advantage. For all the hard ones you soaked everything at the same time and used the gloves first. The extra soak time makes it easier for the sponge. Anyway, thanks making more videos. You do a good job even if you are not perfect every time.

[@DyslexicAnaboko]

Get a good nylon bristle scrub brush from oxo that dispenses soap and a decent bottle brush with removable heads. Get a pair of disposable kitchen gloves. Eventually the gloves break. Take the removable heads and wash them in the dish washer good as new.

[@DOMAPOI]

First off, I like to say I love your comparison videos. And here's the but; I think the dried catsup test was a little skewed. You gave them both a dip in the soapy water and then you put one down into the sink. The one in the sink was given a chance to soak up some of the water from the dip and.......While you were trying the gloves and had to run the water to get the gloves to clean it, you were splashing and drenching the fork in the bottom of the sink with water too, which is re-hydrating that catsup too. That would have made it a lot easier for the sponge to clean it. Making all things equal, you should have set one of the forks off to the side (outside the sink) and dipped and tried to, and finished cleaning the first one. Then do the same thing with the other fork. And as far as the peanut butter, it has a lot of peanut oil in it and that would take forever to dry and cake on. Look forward to your next one, REALLY!

[@CRISMELY]

Why not just use one glove. You're barely using the other hand because you're holding your dishes. Just mimic normal use as a sponge, only use one on one hand, grip with other.

[@jnm422ty1]

So sorry about Daisy

[@rodmandealerman3297]

James, I could have sworn you already reviewed gloves like this. Maybe I'm getting some dementia! No matter. The gloves did not pass the egg test. I love the sponge you were using, or even just a standard Scotch Brite pad. As for your dogs, Elle reminds me of a chihuahua our family had when I was growing up. Tiny was her name, and she lived to be 18. We also had Great Danes, and she would give them hell if they tried to mess with her! They were all awesome dogs. Many thanks for sharing!

[ I'm not sure what you meant about reading comments out loud, so if you ever want to read any of mine, feel free ! 💞] 💕 Hello. I also bought these, and a pair my daughter, also. Did yours come in a pair ? The one's I was ordering (on eBay) came individually, so you have to order a left & right hand if that's what you want. (Maybe knock-offs ? 🤷🏻‍♀️) They offered gray & light green. I chose the green for myself & gray for my daughter.. I'm not sure I agree with your use of these. Or let's just say we have a difference of opinion in the their uses. I feel they're for lightweight scrubbing. "Scrubbing" doesn't have to mean cleaning hard core, cemented on food items. I only have used them for dishes that are lightly dirty, & I thought you could have a pair for cleaning fruit &/or veggies ! Plus, I would never wash a plate with nasty food on it like that, at least without a good soak in hot water first. Yuck ! LOL ! (Is that a guy thing ? 🤔😂) Also, my son doesn't have especially large hands, and he couldn't get them on ! So I kind of felt they were for women really. 😉 I guess that's all I have on these. The bottom line with these is do most people want to take the time of pulling these on to wash a few items. And I kind of forget I have them, even tho they're hanging on the wall behind my sink !! 😂 Thanks for the review, James !! It was fun, as always ! Take care ! 👍🏼♥️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@bryceb2497]

Potentially good idea if someone wants to take it. Make the same gloves but each glove has the 2 sides of a sponge

[@BrittMFH]

[@juliebaker6969]

There IS one major plus the gloves have over the sponge. Sponges are notorious for being havens for dirt, grease, germs, mold, mildew and the like, in fact they are virtually impossible to thoroughly clean and sterilize. I won't even have one in my home unless I intend to treat it as a one use disposable.
