Curious as to what difference gloves would make in this specific situation according to you? You're washing everything with soap to "disinfect" it. Your bare hands will also be full of soap. Wouldn't they also get disinfected? What am I missing?

Washing up gloves are there to protect your hands from the heat of the water. I do find it strange to say it's like brushing your teeth without toothpaste though.

How hot are you washing your dishes? Are we supposed to be washing them at really high temperatures?

It's just another way of making it easier I suppose. They also drip-dry quicker if they're hot.

I doubt you're washing food in temperatures that would actually burn your skin :)

I would in fact tell people to only wash food in cold water!
