(Time: 30)
It can be tricky to get pesticide-soiled gloves off and safely out of your way.
To take off your gloves when you're done working with pesticides, peel one glove off by holding the cuff. Then, with your ungloved hand, hold it wrong-side out as you peel off the other glove by the cuff.
When you're finished, both gloves will be wrong-side out and the contaminated surface will be on the inside.
Now seal the soiled gloves in a one-gallon plastic bag. And they'll be safely out of your way until you're ready to wash or get rid of them.
