Default Rubber gloves for cleaning?

I've occasionally used latex gloves while cleaning
my brackish tank. I've read about some hobbyists
who need to use gloves because their skin is
sensitive. I will sometimes get a mild rash on my
forearm (the one wielding the gravel cleaner) so
I can see the point.


People who are allergic to the latex gloves can usually wear the nitrile ones,
which are even better for various chemicals as used in wood finishing are
heave housecleaning. I buy them in boxes of 100 at Harbor Freight. IIRC,
they have no powder in them.
