The MAPA Vital 124 gloves are a real staple for any cleaning cupboard. They strike that perfect balance between being tough enough to protect, yet flexible enough not to hinder your work.

  • Latex Material: Not suitable for team members who have a latex allergy.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The housekeeping team at 'The Lake View Hotel' in Keswick was struggling with gloves that would tear mid-shift and  didn't offer a good grip on wet glassware, leading to breakages. They needed a more reliable and  comfortable solution for their staff.

"Since we switched to the MAPA Vital 124 gloves, the team's feedback has been fantastic. They feel much more secure handling wet items, and  the comfort means they can wear them for longer without any issues. They just last so much better than our old ones."

Robert Green – Facilities Manager

The switch resulted in a 30% reduction in monthly glove expenditure and  a noticeable drop in glassware breakages during cleaning.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Using Your Gloves

  • Before first use, always give the gloves a quick check for any pinholes or tears.
  • Ensure your hands are clean and  dry before putting the gloves on for the best fit and  comfort.
  • Make sure you've selected the correct size; gloves that are too tight or too loose can be a safety hazard.

Keeping Them Going

  • After using with cleaning solutions, rinse the outside of the gloves thoroughly with clean water.
  • To dry, hang them up or turn them inside out. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or on a radiator as this can damage the latex.
  • Store them in a cool, dry place away from heat and  light to prolong their lifespan.
  • Replace the gloves immediately if they become torn, punctured, or show signs of degradation.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cleaning Gloves

Not sure which gloves are right for the job? We get it. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose.

Material Matters

Latex offers great flexibility and  protection against detergents and  alcohols. For stronger chemicals or for those with allergies, consider Nitrile or heavy-duty Vinyl alternatives.

Grip is Key

A smooth glove is a slippery glove. Look for an embossed or textured pattern on the palm and  fingers, like on these MAPA gloves, for a secure grip on wet or soapy items.

Think About Thickness

Light-duty gloves, like these, are perfect for general cleaning as they offer great dexterity. For handling harsh chemicals or sharp objects, you’ll need a thicker, heavy-duty glove.

The Power of Colour-Coding

Using different coloured gloves for different areas (e.g., yellow for general cleaning, red for washrooms) is a simple and  effective way to prevent cross-contamination and  improve hygiene.

Comfort for Long Shifts

If your team wears gloves for hours at a time, a flock lining is essential. It absorbs sweat and  prevents that sticky, uncomfortable feeling, which improves staff morale and  productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these gloves reusable?

A: Yes, these are designed as light-duty reusable gloves. Simply rinse and  air dry them after each use to keep them in good condition.

Q: Can I use these with strong chemicals like concentrated bleach?

A: They are resistant to some acids, alkalis, and  alcohols, but are best for general cleaning solutions. For harsh or concentrated chemicals, you should always check the manufacturer's chemical resistance chart and  consider a heavy-duty glove.

Q: What does 'embossed exterior' mean?

A: It means the surface of the glove has a raised, textured pattern. This increases the surface area and  channels away liquid, giving you a much better grip on wet or soapy objects.

Q: Are these gloves food safe?

A: These gloves are designed for janitorial and  cleaning purposes. For direct contact with food, we recommend choosing gloves that are specifically certified as 'food safe'.

Q: How do I know if Medium (Size 7) is the right size for me?

A: Size 7 is a standard medium fit for most hands. If you are unsure, you can measure the circumference of your palm; a medium size typically fits a palm circumference of 7-8 inches.

Q: Are these gloves completely waterproof?

A: Yes, they are described as fully liquid-proof, meaning they will keep your hands dry when submerged in water or during wet cleaning tasks.

Q: What is the main benefit of the cotton-flock lining?

A: The primary benefit is comfort. The lining absorbs sweat and  moisture, preventing your hands from feeling clammy and  making the gloves much more pleasant to wear for long periods.

Q: Why is it important that these gloves are yellow?

A: The yellow colour is ideal for businesses that use a colour-coding system to prevent cross-contamination. For example, using different colours for kitchen, front-of-house, and  washroom cleaning.

No More Sweaty Hands: The Magic of a Cotton-Flock Lining

Ever taken off a pair of rubber gloves to find your hands are unpleasantly damp and  clammy? That's what the 'cotton-flock lining' in these gloves is designed to prevent. It isn't just a fancy term; it's a layer of very fine, soft cotton fibres bonded to the entire inner surface of the glove.

Think of it like wearing a thin, soft sock inside your wellies on a rainy day. The cotton naturally absorbs sweat and  moisture from your skin, wicking it away to keep your hands feeling dry and  comfortable. It stops that sticky, tacky feeling you get with unlined gloves, making them pleasant to wear even for extended cleaning sessions. It’s a small detail that delivers a huge improvement in everyday comfort.
