When removing gloves, it is inappropriate to remove your mask and gown before removing your gloves. The correct order in removing protective wear is: gloves, mask, gown, eyewear or goggles, cap, shoe cover. Washing your gloved hands reduces the number of microorganisms that could contaminate the hands. When you remove your gloves, first use your gloved, dominant hand to remove other glove by grasping it just below wrist. Pull this glove down over your non-dominant hand so that it is inside out. Hold the removed glove in your gloved hand. With the first two fingers of your ungloved hand, reach inside the glove without touching the outside of the glove. Pull the glove down (inside out) over your hand and remaining glove. Discard the gloves in a waste receptacle. Remember the technique of glove-to-glove and skin-to-skin contact in removing gloves.
