Yes, the glove is machine washable for easy cleanup after food preparation. We recommend air drying it to maintain the integrity of the cut-resistant fibers.
Yes, the glove is ambidextrous and designed to fit comfortably on either hand. This makes it easy for both left-handed and right-handed children to use.
