Hand cleaning

What's the best hand cleaner, because every time I wear gloves they split and I finish up with as much crap on the inside as on the outside!

Swarfega/Tufnega have their limitations!

Gentlemen and ladies, I look forward to your comments! raise:

I reckon swarfega is hard to beat!

deb lime with the bits in it is at work, and it gets everything off,

but swarfega and tufanagea ive found just takes a bit of time, hot water and about 3 goes u shud be laughing

ive always found washing liquid as good as anything....

parrafin

Gets right in the creases

Tbh my hands are pretty calloused and cracked and I have been know to use a little sandpaper before going out to dinner

I find the products by Stoko - SOLOPOL and NEOPOL - are superb!

My colleagues & I use them every day in work as well as when we habitually tinker with a variety of cars, tractors, steam rollers and other assorted machinery - they remove anything & everything plus they are solvent free and contain a moisturiser to keep your hands in top notch condition.

One very satisfied user.

Comma manista, leaves your hands smelling of oranges and has gritty bits in it for helping get rid of the ground in bits

i use brake cleaner in a spray bottle, melts all the ****e off nicey , then if yer poofy yer can wash them again with washing up liquid or hand wash to soften them up ,

.......gloves?

gloves are either thin so they rip , or thick so you cant feel what yer doing and end up dropping little bits on the gravel drive or in the grass...... about the only time i wear them is doing an oil change.

Try nitrile gloves rather than latex, or before you start rub a squeeze of washing up liquid into your hands and under your nails until it dries this acts as a barrier cream.

Wd40's good

Washing-up liquid mixed with salt, followed by a sponge scourer for the stubborn bit's (does'nt trash your hand's like metal scourer's!).

I've always used washing up liquid and washing up powder. mixed. Granted you gotta grit your teeth a bit when scrubbing but it does the trick!

Many thanks to all of you for your comments.

I can now get my delicate digits back to being as clean and soft as they were when I was all at sea!
