Chimney sweeping is a messy job; it always has been and always will be. It's in its nature. But as time has progressed, there has been the development of more and more protective gear to protect the skin from contact with the dirt and ash. Chimney Sweeping gloves are an important way of protecting the hands. Having the right thickness and durability is important as chimney sweeping gloves come under a lot of pressure.

Wearing the right type of protective gear is important for a chimney sweep. They have to encounter dust, soot, dirt and all manners of unpleasant things when they are sweeping a chimney. It is why we hire people in rather than doing it ourselves. Although chimney sweeping as a profession has been around for generations, the development of protective gear and equipment has come on vastly in that time, meaning it is a more pleasant job now than back in the day of sending small boys up the chimney.
Chimney sweeping gloves are just as important as the breathing gear and the suits. The hands are the part of the body that may very well come into contact with whatever is up there - from soot to a dead animal. Chimney sweeping gloves means the sweeper does not have to wear more than one pair, for they are more durable than normal gloves and are made to withstand the rough environment they are working in.
The correct cleaning gear - including chimney sweeping gloves - not only protects the sweeper, it protects the house and the room as well. Protective clothing can be removed as soon as the sweeper is out of the chimney, keeping the person clean to move through the rest of the house without bringing the remnants of the chimney's debris with them. The same is true for chimney sweeping gloves.
