There are no chlorocarbons on the shelves, I think.

Is there something else I can use (perhaps from the auto parts store or
the hardware store)?

Here, for example, is a picture of all my experiments (all of which
failed)!

I've never heard of actually washing work gloves.  If I were you I'd use
the cheap leather-palm ones and just throw them away when they wear out

big holes in the fingers (repairable with duct tape, of course) long
before I'd consider washing them, but I'm not dealing with poison
oak/ivy, either.

I've got some nice goatskin gardening gloves, but they're too good to
use :-)  I used to turn them inside out (like the rest of the dirtbags)
and use them for motorcycle gloves.

What does turning goatskin gloves inside out actually do for you?

I'm curious.
