So what is the best method of removing gloves if you have been handling items that pose a risk for spreading contamination?  We've listed a few of the best below.  Here are a few best methods that can be used:

Without realizing, you may have intuitively used the inside out method in the past to remove your gloves. 

1. Pinch part of the cuff of the glove with the fingers of your other hand and pull the glove inside out, peeling it back away from your skin until it slides off the fingers. 
2. Since the inside of the glove is facing out and it is as clean as your skin was on the inside, you can use that surface as a barrier to pinch the cuff of your other glove and peel it away from your hand--cuff to fingertips--then discard of both gloves in an appropriate manner. 
3. Be sure to wash your hands afterwards to remove residue or stray contaminants.

1. Similar to the inside out method, you begin with pinching the cuff of one glove with the fingertips of the other to pull it away from your wrist.
2. Then peel the glove down the hand, turning it inside out as it reaches the ends of your fingertips.
3. Hold onto the discarded glove with your gloved hand.
4. Next, use your index finger of your bare hand to slide between the cuff of your glove and your wrist and begin to peel the glove away from your hand.
5. Again, peeling the glove back until it reaches your fingertips.
6. The first glove you removed will be safely balled up on the inside of this glove, and both are readily disposed of without multiple contamination sources.
7. Discard the glove ball and wash your hands thoroughly.

The glove-in-glove method is often recognized as industry standard--and might be one of the safest.

1. Fold the fingers of one of your hands (not over your palms--don't make a fist).
2. Pinch the gloved palm of the opposite hand with your gloved hand.
3. Using your gloved hand, you may have to roll up the opposite gloved hand (as seen in step #3).
4. Peel the glove of the opposite hand off
5. Roll it into a ball with your solo gloved hand.
6. Carefully place a finger under the cuff of the other glove
7. Slowly peel your hand away over a garbage.

The most important part is to limit your contact with the contaminated surface of your gloves before going on to do anything else.  This includes scratching your nose, shaking hands with someone, writing something down with a pen, opening a door, or even eating a sandwich.  You might be surprised to see how people conduct themselves and seem totally ignorant of how they go about their day while wearing gloves.  If you are cleaning up a hazardous site, or even scrubbing out a toilet, you need to be aware of your surroundings and the potential for cross-infection while wearing gloves.
