I've been working on cars for 30some years now (yikes I'm getting old) and last year I decided to quit living completely in the dark ages and get some mechanics gloves...but now they're getting pretty dirty...

so how do you clean mechanics gloves anyway? or do you just toss 'em when they get to oily?

i hate mechanix gloves. they still get your hands dirty and they will wear out very quickly.

i use latex gloves at work everyday. just throw them away at the end of the day and grab a new pair

i only used the non latex or nitrile gloves when i was doing tires or suspension work. there always seemed to be some promotion on the tool trucks, or through my work at the time where i could get new gloves for free, besides the latex ones.

I throw them in the washing machine and wash them by themselves. They come out like new.
