Lets talk hand cleaners

Back in the day, I used brake cleaner, carb cleaner, WD40 and dish washing liquid.

To be truthful, dishwashing liquid is usually closer to hand and gets most of my useage.

Suprega Plus is pretty good, and I don't use it enough.
 
I use orange hand cleaner. Canadian Tire house brand, on sale, is 7$ for a gallon. It works really well.

I don't like GoJo as it has petroleum in it and stinks after like you washed your hands with diesel.

I step into the shower and have the pump bottle of orange hand cleaner on the floor. I wet my hands and arms and pump 6-7 squirts on my hands and rub it up and down my arms and wash my hands with it before I start up the shower.

It is amazing the amount of dirt that comes off your arms. I hate showing up to work the next day and noticing grease on my elbows from the day before, regular bar soap doesn't get it off at all.

What do ou use ?

ZEP Cherry Bomb, best in the business. AA has it at the commercial desk.
 
Any liquid laundry detergent. Works as well as, or better than, anything else. And you've already got it, so it's dirt-cheap.
 
Stoko brand
Kresto for oil grease and grim
Cupran Special hands down the best hand cleaner for oil base paints dyes and stains

FAST ORANGE!

Pumice hand cleaner.

I used it first and everything else has always been "Is it like Fast Orange?" I maybe saw ZEP Cherry Bomb once ever, and Gojo seems popular.

Not even close.
 
Washing up liquid and a small handful of granulated sugar.

You have to put the sugar first, is better than you may think, a very mild abrasive cleaning action.

Works aswell as the proper stuff and smells better than most of them.
 
If they are extra dirty I use ATF to get the deep dirt then almost any cleaner I can find. The best I ever had was
Vibra-clean.....haven't been able to find it for years. It must have been too good so the EPA outlawed it.
Smoky
 
I use nitrile gloves and dial hand soap. You guys are loading up your liver with all of those chemicals...
