4.8 out of 5 based on 76 reviews.

The Vileda Ansell General Purpose Nitrile Gloves are the ideal disposable gloves for everyday multipurpose/DIY jobs around the home.

What makes these gloves perfect for odd jobs and DIY around the home or office, is that they’re made from nitrile, which is stronger than latex and vinyl, meaning they’ll last the distance when in use.

Vileda Ansell General Purpose Nitrile Gloves are disposable, multi-purpose gloves that can be used for lots of different everyday wet/dry jobs, indoors and outdoors including cleaning, painting, dirty/greasy work, home colouring and so much more.

Being latex-free, the gloves are suitable for those who have allergies to natural rubber latex. They are also powder-free, so you don’t need to wash your hands after use.

The gloves can fit either hand, making them easy to wear and use. They are black in colour, come in medium/large and are available as a pack of 50.

Here’s why these General Purpose Nitrile Gloves are the ultimate DIY disposable gloves

    I love how easy it is to use and when you are done, easy to take it off. Powder free was perfect, does not make your hand dry. I opted for M/L as I have long nails and also my hubby could use them as well for outdoor cleaning..

    Overall good value and great durable all general purpose nitirc gloves to protect your hand.

  • Very comfortable to wear

    I recently had a lump removed from one of my fingers and needed to wear gloves to protect the stitches for a few days. These gloves were perfect for the job. Nice and light, no irritating latex, easy to pull on and pull off. Kept my hands (especially my recovering finger) nice and dry and clean. I used them for washing up, cleaning the bathroom, dusting, food prepping. So many other small nameless jobs. I was super impressed by their quality, not the usual flimsy disposable gloves. I will certainly recommend to others and will certainly add them to my shopping list sometime in the future, when thus supply runs out. I was also surprised by the number of gloves that arrived to review! They'll last a while

  • Strong and durable!

    I love that the gloves are strong and durable so my acrylic nails don't break through them like the cheaper alternatives. I get eczema flare ups on my hands, particularly on my knuckles, so having strong gloves to protect my hands from harsh cleaning products is amazing! It's also great that they're latex free so I don't get a reaction from the gloves either.

  • Vileda Ansell General Purpose Nitrile Gloves

    Great black nitrile gloves for everyday jobs. I especially found them great for weeding and gardening. Also great for doing everyday cleaning which protect the delicate skin of your hands. Comfortable to wear, easy to put on. Nice fit for my hands. Really durable - have not popped a pair. Also come in a good size value pack. Very happy with these.

  • Great for everything

    Being the main domestic carer at home I am often the one primarily in charge of the cooking and cleaning.

    I’ve been using the General Purpose Nitrile gloves as well which are also latex and powder free. This means I can get in and clean a lot faster and pain free.

    They’re durable, comfortable and great for any domestic cleaning or gardening (which I am still putting off ????).

  • Durable gloves

    Absolutely love that these gloves are durable and strong, nothing worse than putting on gloves and having them rip. Very comfy and easy to put on, use them to clean around the house and a bonus they are powder free! Would recommend and will definitely be buying some more very soon!

  • Excellent heavy-duty latex-free gloves!

    I really loved these Vileda Ansell General Purpose Nitrile Gloves! They were super-durable and very versatile. I love that they are puncture-free, so they can be used with tough cleaning jobs, such as the bathroom, but are just as effective during food preparation. These are excellent latex-free nitrile gloves that are also powder-free, which is a huge bonus! I highly recommend these gloves and would purchase them again in future!

    These gloves are excellent for handy jobs around the house where you don’t want to get your hands dirty. I used these gloves when I had some cleaning to do using some cleaning products because I hate the smell of these on my hands. It worked perfectly.

  • Surprisingly hard wearing

    What can I say!? I have been totally blown away by the quality of these gloves. I thought they would be thin and flimsy, easily damaged, hence why they're disposable. They are quite the opposite however, extremely sturdy and long lasting. Great for inside activities as well as outside activities. I am so in love with these and willingly highly recommend to all my friends and family

  • Very surprising

    I have to admit, when I read the description for the black gloves, I didn't believe it. It claimed them to be great for gardening. They just didn't look strong enough for outdoor use. So I put them to the test straight away and was very surprised. They did indeed last a few hours of potting, weeding, planting, pruning, mowing etc in the garden. They're so comfortable to wear, they didn't get in the way of me doing anything. Often I find I need to remove gloves for fiddley jobs, but not these. I've happily recommended to a few people already. I'll definitely buy again

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.


While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

    Reply

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
