Title: Clean hands Post by: smithymc on May 22, 2016, 06:20:44 PM I think I put something up before about which gloves people wear.
I would like to add, which hand cleaners do we rate? I have just finished a huge tub of beaded Suprega, which was great, but I appreciate the environmental concerns over micro beads, which are about to banned in cosmetics. So where next? I bought a tub of Stanley hand cleaner , which has beads by the feel of it, but it's hopeless. What's better?

Got my hands clean OK after my oil change etc.
Title: Re: Clean hands Post by: Kevo on May 23, 2016, 11:39:04 AM +1 for Swarfega Orange, also if you go to Lidl deals they have them a fair bit cheaper.

+1 as well for Swarfega Orange, bought my self dispensing bottle ages ago and still going strong. Was not aware of the micro beads, just assumed it was some sort of sand in it. Having many years ago used the original Swarfega, it is a lot nicer to use and nicer odour.

Title: Re: Clean hands Post by: mangocrazy on May 23, 2016, 10:01:03 PM I've used Swarfega Orange and it's pretty good, but the best cleaner by far I have used is made by Wurth. The downside is it only comes in a big 4 litre bottle that really needs Wurth's own dispenser (extra, of course) to work as intended. It uses ground pumice stone, not micro beads so not sure how environmentally friendly (or not) that is.

The likes of swarfega and other proprietary hand cleaners don't seem to get into the lines on my hands at all Title: Re: Clean hands Post by: Hawk on May 27, 2016, 09:45:13 AM It is - but I find that modern cleaners just don't do the job (and my granddad who was a mechanic always used petrol to clean his hands). I try and use gloves now but I don't like the lack of feel and so my mitts often end up filthy. I've got a pot of Manista on order to see if that works Title: Re: Clean hands Post by: mtulloch on May 28, 2016, 12:30:31 PM Swarfega orange or kitchen cream cleanser for me, which ever is at the front of the utility room cupboard! ;D
