Yes: IF the gloves stay intact, they are excellent protection for cleaning. But I have had many gloves with small(or large) tears in them during a job. How about you? Double gloving is very wise when cleaning biohazards.

I have had several internal hemorrhoids removed and now I have to wipe excessively to get clean. Sometimes an hour or two later, i wipe again but very little. No blood, no pain no urge to go.
