Wow, no, I’ve never had that problem. I’m like you, I prefer to wash the dishes with my hands. I have a long pair of rubber gloves for cleaning things that I think I got at Walmart of Meijer, just “store brand.” There are plenty listed on Amazon, along with reviews that might help. Sorry I couldn’t offer you more.

I know what you mean, I’ve never really liked dishwashing gloves either, but they do come in handy when skin gets irritated. It can be so frustrating when soaps cause problems and the gloves don’t fit right. Have you tried looking at heavy-duty gloves from hardware stores instead of just the kitchen aisle? Sometimes those are longer and come in bigger sizes. Hopefully, someone here can suggest a specific brand that works — it’s tough when the usual ones just don’t cut it.

Maybe check on Amazon for hypoallergenic ones. Rubber or latex allergies are common enough..I bet they have something. The problem is they may cost more than you are willing to pay.

Have you checked on Amazon? They have some very long rubber gloves, may be your son can find some good for him.

I'm sorry, I always wash dishes bare-handed, too. I had a terrible time with Dawn dishwashing liquid as I was allergic to something in it... I switched to Palmolive back in my twenties and haven't had a problem since then. I hope you can find some gloves that fit him and work well for washing dishes.

I hope somebody suggests something that will work for you

I'm not sure how sturdy they are but have you tried those surgical gloves?

Sorry, I gave up on this too. Gloves never fit well enough that I don't fear dropping the dishes and then they get holes in the fingertips anyway and I just end up with fingers soaking in their own little individual baths of hot water and coming out all wrinkly!
