Lined glovesI'm using lined gloves to do my dishes, but they don't seem to lest very long -- they will develop cracks or holes, so water will get inside, and that will cause a number of issues. Does anyone know something better than the below glove?

I order safety gloves for work for a variety of purposes.
Sure, you can get heavier gauge ones, but for washing dishes, I think single use Nitrile/Latex gloves would be more practical.
That said, Madge says you should soak you hands in the dishwater, |

I have a bunch of those, but they don't work for me to wash dishes -- for that, I must use lined gloves, and they should be somewhat longer than the usual single use gloves. 
That said, Madge says you should soak you hands in the dishwater, ?!?  |

»www.youtube.com/watch?v= ··· kq7JCbikMost all gloves are going to be a tradeoff between dexterity and lifespan. I don't know many that will hold up longer than what you pictured. They only last so long. I have some really heavy mil shoulder length nitrile gloves that might work, but the inside will likely get gamey/unpleasant long before they wear out. And good gloves aren't cheap. |

When I need them, I just use the blue nitrile gloves. I get them from Sam's Club. A box of 200 is currently $9.48 (plus tax). The large size are snug, and I can use them for just about anything. When needed, I can even wash my hands with them on and then continue with what I was doing.
My sister doesn't use gloves for dish washing. She does wear one blue one and one of the clear food handling gloves when walking the dogs.
I remember Madge and the dish soap commercials from when I was young.
Mom always kept a couple pairs of the yellow Playtex gloves under the sink. There may still be some under there.
We use a lot of disposable wares now, so there's not many dishes that need washed anymore. We put the plastic spoons and knives in the dishwasher and use them until they break. The fork tines bend if washed, so they just get one use. |

… plastic … fork tines bend if … dried by an oven element common in dishwashers? |

I don't get gloves with liners. That in-built liner will get pretty dirty and stinky, and is hard to clean. Instead, I wear knit gloves under some sort of "rubber" glove. The thickness and composition of both depending on what I'm doing.
Separate liner and outer have the benefit of preventing shear force on your skin, so you don't blister. |

If you’re going through the trouble of washing plastic utensils, why not just buy stainless steel ones which will last for decades? |

I use 22 mil nitrile for really heavy duty work, cost me around $20 a pair, but I get years of use from them. I wouldn't mind the price -- I spent about $18 on 3 pairs (as one shown in my OP) and I got little over 6 months of use out of them. I use the disposable 5 mil nitriles for most everything (car repair, painting, etc.) except washing dishes. They are simply not suitable for that. Anyhow, I decided to search for gloves since I did not get many recommendations, and looks like SHOWA has well over 100 different types of gloves since they have 70 just in chemical as per: » www.showagroup.com/us-en ··· chemicalAlas, their search functionality and filters are less than ideal, to put it mildly, and many of their gloves are only available in 12 packs. (SHOWA store on Amazon) |

Geez... Just get the yellow Playtex gloves. They're made for washing dishes! |

Weird, those have PVC coating on them, it could it be UV damage? You might be able to find a similar type and fit with nitrile or butyl based polymer. (for those that don't get the Madge reference, it was a bit used to sell Palmolive dish soap » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Miner) |

While I do have a skylight in my kitchen, UV should not be getting in and the gloves don't usually leave the kitchen. I have no black light or ozone generator either, and the LED light bulbs I have should not emit anything shorter than blue light.
I was looking at comparable gloves using other material, such as latex, butyl, or nitrile, but will be busy for at least the next week, so ordering have to wait for at least another week. |

Go for the waterproof gloves used by fishermen. » www.amazon.com/Cordova-S ··· 61YZ6BR/ |

It's likely to be well insulated, but not waterproof enough to do dishes

Store the gloves in a cupboard or somewhere dark, and see how long they last. Plastics dont do well with the sun, even in small amounts -j |

And if I'm not careful; occasionally, I may still get some water in.

for what you spend in a year on plastic you could buy enough ss utensils to keep the same wash frequency. we are a family of 4 and probably have 15-20 of each utensil, we run out of plates/bowls before we do eating utensils |

Does anyone know something better …? You haven't revealed just what you're putting into the wash water, or why you believe you need gloves. |

A few drops of "DAWN Ultra" plus the dirty dishes and utensils. However, the water is warm enough that lined gloves are strongly advised. |

She chooses to spend on disposables instead of soap, hot water, and time required for daily washing. I'm okay with it because clean-up is quick and easy. We are down to three of us, and the third one eats most of her meals away from home. |

|

I never measured it, and I'm not sure if a Non-Contact Digital Laser Temperature Gun will work correctly with warm water, or with wet objects.
In any case, warmer water cleans greasy stuff much better and faster, and with less dishwashing liquid. |
