I have used Atlas gloves in the past and like them. Have not tried these. But a friend of mine gave me a good tip on cleaning gloves. When she is done working for the day, she heads to the outdoor sink. She then washes her hands with the gloves on using hand soap. When she has them clean she removes them and hangs then up on pins she has above the sink, washes her hands and is done. She uses 2 pair as sometimes the next day pair one is not totally dry but she always has a fresh clean pair of gloves.
