Splash Patrol Natural Latex Cleaning Gloves

If you want the fully natural version of this swap, If You Care household gloves, scored 1, skip the synthetic lining entirely.

3 / 10 Medium plastic footprint $

Natural latex shell and cotton cuff, undercut by a nylon and rayon interior lining that makes the pair a mixed material product. The latex that touches your counters is not a plastic; the lining inside is partly petro-synthetic.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Little plastic
Exterior 100% natural latex, cuff 100% cotton, and an interior lining the brand describes as a unique blend of nylon and rayon from plant fibers, with no % split disclosed. Nylon is a petroleum synthetic; rayon is a man-made cellulosic.
Microplastic shedding and leaching Sheds some
The nylon share of the lining sheds synthetic microfibers in hand washing. The rayon share sheds man-made cellulosic fibers, which are not microplastic by regulatory definition and biodegrade, but the shedding is real.
End of life: persistence and recovery Persists somewhat
Not stated. Only partly recoverable; some of it persists.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Some concern
Some plastic-contact chemistry is possible; see the notes.
Transparency and verification Partly disclosed
Components named, percentages not given, origin stated only by the retailer, no packaging disclosure.

About Full Circle

Full Circle sells these as Splash Patrol; after the brand refresh the same gloves are called High and Dry on the brand site, so do not be confused by the two names. The exterior is 100% natural latex with a cotton cuff.
