    Please can anyone recommend some good washing up gloves?

    I tend to buy the two-for-a-pound packs from £Land and it's really such a false economy as they just don't last. I do try not to stab them with knives or forks while washing up, but they still end up leaking within a week. What should I be buying please?

    Put your cutlery separately and soak it facing one way- less chance of being stabbed, this way you can wash them safely knowing which way they are instead of fishing them out randomly.

    I’m actually looking at this thread and wondering what to write- so many things I actually swapped for cheaper ones that I’m not sure if I have anything branded left ��
