Keep rubber gloves rip-free

“My hands get so dry when I wash the dishes that I like to wear gloves to protect them, but more often than not, my fingernails end up poking holes in the tips. Luckily, my mom shared this trick: Push a cotton ball into the end of each fingertip of the glove. Now my nails don’t come into contact with the rubber to tear it.” —Vickie Powell, Alpharetta, GA
