Aren't fingernails great.
Scrubbing the roasting tray, a saucepan with burnt-on
food... or cleaning kitchen surfaces. There's always a little
bit of grime that is best tackled with a fingernail scrape to
get it off.
I wonder if we evolved fingernails just for cleaning. No
other animal has
them - they have claws or hooves or such,
which all have distinct functions. But primates (as far as I
know) are the only animals with fingernails. Probably
mutual grooming - removing parasites etc. - there might be
an interesting bit of research that links the evolution of
fingernails with brain development and social interaction.
Anyway - about these gloves.
These are just like normal household rubber gloves but
have built-in fingernail-like blades of tough plastic at their
tips, to get at that little bit of dirt more easily. Maybe with
an embedded abrasive. Additionally, little scrubber-like
pads on the fingers - ideally replaceable - to scrub with.
That's all.
Not entirely dissimilar to...

Could have those green scouring pads fitted to the knuckles (I find it easier to scrub hard with clenched fist rather than finger tips). Then they could double as hallowe'en outfits as well. |

I'd like a pair with an adapter for threading needles. Also, a
thimble. [+] |

I wear gloves in the lab for... lab reasons and the fingernail
inhibiting nature of the nitrile gloves we wear is irritating.
It's surprising how often we manipulate small objects with
just the end of a nail. I think it's because small/light things
can stick to skin, but the hard smooth nail not so much. So
it'd be great to replicate it on a glove. |
