File Gloves Plus was started in 2006 by Audrey House, Miriam Selzer and Tracy George to fulfill the need for hand protection for the professional office worker. The inventor, Audrey House, discovered the need for using gloves while doing high-volume paper filing for a large corporation. One of the greatest problems was not being able to grab papers fast enough because the fingers would get a thin layer of ink on them, making it less able to pick up paper. Additionally, her fingers would be black on the ends by the end of the day, and she wanted a way to keep the ink and germs from coming into direct contact with her hands. And, with high volume paper filing, paper cuts are a constant annoyance. To solve her dilemma, she started out by using existing garden gloves and then quilting gloves, but found that they were not able to grasp paper well and were often bulky to work with. Thus was born The GRABAROO'S ®. Little did Audrey know at the time that her file gloves would also become the best quilting gloves for free motion quilting. Additionally, GRABAROO'S ® are great for cashiers, post office employees, librarians, medical staff workers, and anyone who works with paper.
