Every week or so, turn them inside out and hang to dry overnight. The next morning, dust them very lightly with cornstarch before reversing them. Cornstarch makes them comfortable, drier, and easier to put on. I have a clothes pin on a string above my kitchen sink so the gloves get plenty of air. and the gloves last longer, too.

I use binder clips and 3M Command adhesive hooks to hang rubber gloves but not wet dish cloths. You can buy the clips in an assortment of colors and sizes. This also works for setting printed recipes aside. I make a week of menus and any recipes I may need for the week I attach to the inside of a cupboard door. That way I'm not searching through cookbooks or on the internet for the planned recipe.

I bought binder clips in various sizes, and used to clip the gloves under sink. I suggest letting the gloves dry some over the ledge of sink before putting under cabinet, that may be causing the odor... I have even used the clips to keep some of my chips, or frozen bags clipped, after opening.

I always use gloves and love the idea of the grommets with which to hang them! One problem I do have with gloves, tho, is that after many months of using them the insides begin to smell like dirty tennis shoes. Anybody have a solution for this problem? Thanks!

I'm always trying to think of the faster solution, so ..I glued a wooden clothespin on the door under my sink to hold my gloves, ( instead of going through the hassle of grommets, etc) ...... perfect to hold anything I want! Did the same thing next to the sink in my laundryroom too!

I keep two pairs of rubber gloves under my kitchen sink.I use a cheapy pair of thin yellow gloves for messy jobs, cleaning shrimp or raw chicken. The other is a thicker nicer pair. I use this pair for neater jobs. After using either pair I keep my gloves on and using really hot water and a lot of soap I wash and wash my gloved hands. After washing I'll towel dry the gloves and hang back up under my sink. I've never had a problem with this method.

After using rubber gloves, I always wash with soap and water and dry them as I would dry my own hands after a washing. It keeps them clean for next time and no dryer needed.

Good idea on the tags, Truek1w1! A way to use those scraps that are too small to use in other projects but too big to toss. I agree with Italianjean's hand lotion idea. I use this for MAJOR dry skin: put a teaspoon of sugar in your palm, and pour just enough extra virgin olive oil over it to moisten. Scrub thoroughly and rinse in cool water. Barely pat your hands dry, and put on your rubber gloves. The warm dishwater will aid absorption of the remaining oil. My hands feel great after this!

If you put the items with grommets on them in a lengerie(sp) bag before you wash or dry them you won't have a problem with them damaging your dryer. OR you could just hang them to dry and not put them in the dryer.

How do you keep the grommets on the hand towels from damaging the inside of the dryer?

This is a great Idea! I put Cure'l Ulta Healing on before I put on rubber gloves and your hands are so soft after you won't believe it.
I've allready put the hooks up. Its GREAT!

I'm going to try this, but I think in answer to jenji's issue with the grommet, myabe just sew a tag on the rag. I'm going to.

I like the idea for the rubber gloves (they will dry quickly, and the inside of my cabinet door is not wood so I don't have to worry about mildew), but I wouldn't do it for the rag. First of all, if you're not careful, you risk scratching delicate items with the grommet while washing. Plus, the length of time it would take for the rag to dry (even in an arid region) means the grommet could rust. Best to attach a plastic bulldog clip or chip bag-clip to the door instead.

This idea seems perfect for a very dry area, like, Utah, where I live now. Things dry overnight. But in a humid area, like Atlanta, where I used to live, it wouldn't be practical. Things do mildew quickly! This idea would work for me!

You are shopping at the wrong store. You should go to your local CRAFTS and/or SEWING store for the large sized grommets. They are sure to have them, with an easy tool to clamp them on.

If you are renting and do not wish to perminantly put hooks in the doors concider the 3M hooks that stick on and come off. I like the idea and have an old pan that has had it.

I have done similiar project for damp not wet dish cloth and towel, hung on a swing out metal arms. One arm for each item. But mold and damage to the door was bad. I didn't catch until the door had to be refinished to get rid of the mold. Possibly if I hung the swing out metal arms further in the cabinet, so not touching door, I wouldn't have had the problem, but a long reach. Was too discouraged to try again.

Any suggestions on where to purchase a grommet kit? My local hardware stores only carry the ugly bright brass color and very small grommet sizes. Would like at least 1 1/2" grommets for curtains too.

What happens when the wet dish cloth and wet gloves come in contact with the wood? Let me tell ya; lots of damage to the wood to say nothing of the mold. Ah, I'll bet know one thought about the mold on the wood from the wet cloth and gloves. Yuk!!!!

I like the basic idea,, but do not want to put [filtered word] in the cabinet door(renting) so I got heavy duty Velcro works great !!

I don't think they meant dish washcloths as much as the microfiber cloths/kitchen "rags" you use to wipe appliances clean, etc. Those don't really get wet, just damp with cleaning products that really wouldn't mildew.

Yes...mildew heaven...is she kidding??? And I thought she was the Queen of Clean! Think I am re-thinking this one.

I can just smell the mildew and mold.....By the time my kitchen cloths dried out it would be time to use them again

I don't like the fact that I'd be hanging wet things on the inside of my cabinet and have the wet things touching the inside of my cabinet door. In time that would definitely cause damage. Sometimes Martha is just a wee bit inpracticle for me.

This is a great idea but things should be dry before putting under sink. Wet under sink, perfect atmosphere for roaches, silverfish, etc.

I like this idea... under my sink is a complete nightmare!
