Germ-Fighting Gloves

GetGlovd Bamboo Gloves Offer Alternative to Hand Sanitizers

— October 17, 2010 — Eco
It'll soon be that chilly time of year again. The gloves we have to wear are also where we pick up germs and where they get to multiply like crazy. One new germ-fighting strategy could well be the bamboo fiber gloves from GetGlovd.

Bamboo is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial. The bamboo gloves will retain these properties through repeated washings. The breathable gloves are also hypoallergenic and definitely eco-friendly, as bamboo is a sustainable crop. They are available in different sizes for men, women and children.

The makers point out that hand sanitizers, while effective against bacteria and some viruses, are usually alcohol based and thus very drying. Just what we don't need during winter! GetGlovd bamboo gloves are another alternative.

One thing is certain, the bamboo content will definitely solve the odor problem of sodden, unwashed gloves!
Trend Themes
1. Antimicrobial Gloves - Developing gloves with antimicrobial properties to reduce germ transmission and maintain hygiene.
2. Sustainable Materials - Exploring the use of eco-friendly and sustainable materials like bamboo in glove production for a more environmentally conscious approach.
3. Alternative Hygiene Solutions - Identifying and promoting alternative methods of maintaining hygiene, such as using gloves instead of relying solely on hand sanitizers.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Safety - The health and safety industry can benefit by embracing and promoting antimicrobial gloves to protect against germ transmission.
2. Fashion and Apparel - The fashion and apparel industry can tap into the demand for sustainable materials by incorporating eco-friendly options like bamboo gloves into their product lines.
3. Personal Care and Hygiene - The personal care and hygiene industry can explore and market alternative hygiene solutions like bamboo gloves as an alternative to hand sanitizers.
