In industries where hand protection is critical—such as food processing, metalwork, and textile manufacturing—stainless steel gloves have become a trusted solution. Their cut resistance and long-term durability make them ideal for demanding environments. However, maintaining hygiene and usability often comes down to one key feature: washability.At RETON, we understand the importance of combining safety with practicality.
Washable stainless steel gloves are made from interlinked stainless steel rings, forming a chainmail-like mesh that resists cuts and punctures. Designed for repeated cleaning without degradation, these gloves maintain their structural integrity even after frequent washing or sanitization.
Stainless steel mesh provides a reliable defense against sharp tools and materials. This is particularly useful in:
Meat and seafood processing
Textile cutting
Glass or metal handling
Because they are designed to withstand hot water, detergents, and sanitizing agents, washable stainless steel gloves help businesses meet strict hygiene standards, especially in food-related industries.
Unlike fabric or rubber gloves, which may wear out quickly, stainless steel gloves offer extended service life, reducing replacement frequency and overall costs.
Modern designs often include adjustable wrist straps or textile linings for a more secure and comfortable fit, making them suitable for prolonged use.
Washable stainless steel gloves are widely used in:
Food Industry: Preventing knife injuries during meat cutting or fish filleting
Textile Factories: Protecting workers when handling rotary cutters
Metal and Glass Work: Reducing the risk of injury from sharp edges or shards
They are also suitable for laboratories and other settings where both precision and protection are necessary.
To ensure optimal performance and hygiene, follow these cleaning steps:
Rinse Immediately After Use
Remove surface debris and residue with cold water.
Wash with Detergent
Use warm water (50–60°C) with a mild detergent. Some gloves are machine washable—check the manufacturer’s instructions.
Disinfect if Required
Use food-safe sanitizers for gloves used in food processing environments.
Dry Completely
Hang the gloves or place them in a well-ventilated area to dry completely before storage. Avoid high heat drying to preserve integrity.
When selecting washable stainless steel gloves, consider the following:
Size and Fit: Ensure a snug fit for safety and dexterity
Wrist Strap Type: Plastic, textile, or spring-loaded options are available
Single or Double-Handed Use: Some models are reversible for convenience
Certification: Look for gloves compliant with EN 1082-1 or ANSI standards
Washable stainless steel gloves offer a reliable combination of safety, hygiene, and long-term value. By selecting the right gloves and maintaining them properly, companies can protect their workforce while meeting operational and regulatory demands.
