The thought of it is actually quite gross. It's not something that would immediately come to mind, but once you mention it, oh that is kind of gross!

You are out and about, you are wearing gloves or mittens cause it's cold outside. You touch almost everything, almost feel like you're protected with these great germ protectors called gloves and then it hits you... Your nose starts to run cause it's cold and you wipe your nose with your, yes, glove... you sneeze into your glove...

So, here's the question.. when is the last time you washed your gloves? If you are like most, you probably haven't washed them, well, since last season and that is an iffy maybe.

Gloves pick up everything and should be washed once a week, yep, once a week... now if you are a germ phob I'm sure that you are thinking of excuses right now to leave work and take an extra hot shower and wash all of your outerwear. Sorry!
