Method of cleaning metal mesh gloves

A method of cleansing a metal mesh glove of the type used in the meat processing industry and which is constructed of metal strips having crevices and spaces therebetween which have particles of meat, fish and the like embedded therein, said method comprising:

• rotating a pair of elongated rollers toward and in counter-rotation to each other about elongate axes to define an entry slot between said rollers, said rollers and axes extending substantially parallel to each other, and said rollers comprising a plurality of bristles extending generally radially therefrom;
• providing a flow of cleansing fluid onto at least one of the rotating rollers;
• and
• removing the particles of meat, fish and the like embedded in the crevices and spaces in the metal mesh glove by inserting the metal mesh glove into the entry slot between the rollers so that the rollers simultaneously exert inwardly and downwardly directed forces on the metal mesh glove, and said cleansing fluid flushes and removes the particles from the glove and the rollers.
