"Wearing rubber gloves when cleaning dishes by hand is a personal preference. However, wearing gloves can offer several benefits:
1. Protecting your hands from hot water and harsh dishwashing detergents, which can cause dryness and irritation.
2. Providing a barrier between your skin and bacteria on dirty dishes, especially if you have any cuts or scrapes on your hands.
3. Preventing your nails from becoming soft or damaged due to prolonged exposure to water and chemicals."
