A Safe Way To Clean Greasy Hands if You Have Dermatitis

Mark discovers a chemical free way of cleaning his hands that's way cheaper and better than the $20 professional hand cleaners most mechanics use - check it out and see if it will work for you

[@juergenscholl2843]

In addition to wash your hands with dish soap, before starting to work I rub in dish soap on my hands. After 15 seconds it becomes dry and it avoids oil, grease etc penetrating that deep i to the skin. Works well for me.

Excellent tip Juergen - thanks

[@AutomationDnD]

Yup, I heard of that.... never tried it yet tho.... def SHOULD give it a whirl

[@mizzprezli]

juergen scholl Letting dish soap dry on your skin is sooooo incredibly harsh & leaves skin dry & cracked.

[@bittupbttkc7731]

Excellent tips

[@fazer12779]

Just use olive oil and paper towel (kitchen roll)

[@carquestions]

I'll give that a try - hope it's not too expensive - Cheers!

[@arthursmith643]

Dawn dish detergent and transmission fluid.

[@samwis41979]

Use left over coffee grounds mixed with soap much kinder than a scrubbing brush and works as well

[@brendaliu2373]

[@salldarling]

I have a friend whose been mechanic all his life. That guys hands has so much engrained oil in his hands and he cannot remove it. His skin is split at the finger tips. He uses dish soaps to clean his hands sugar also. Aswell as trying professional cleaners. Nothing I see online suggests how to help him and his level of need.

[@carquestions]

Best advice - He needs to wear gloves at all times at this point if he wants his hands to heal - Cheers Sali!

[@salldarling]

@@carquestions he does lol 😆 I've never seen hands so bad. I cannot describe to you how bad his hands are.

[@robertwfrench]

I use dish soap and table sugar, works great!

[@carquestions]

Table sugar? That's a new one! Thanks for the tip

[@Lulanda93]

Nice method. I have always used Mean Green hand scrub you buy on amazon, I got hooked on it because it knocks poison ivy out like you wouldn’t believe. Also it seems very chemical free and smells like fresh squeezed limeade.

[@carquestions]

Thanks for the info - cheers!

[@thomasniner001]

Dawn dish soap and a cheap dollar store hand brush.

[@carquestions]

Always use what works for you

[@cruzangel841]

I use Down, Vel and Palmolive no remove this grease

[@carquestions]

Good to know

[@PistonAvatarGuy]

I second this. I just wash my hands normally with a good dishsoap, and if they're really bad I'll use an old washcloth.

[@carquestions]

Whatever works best for your hands - is the best

[@TushhsuT]

My farther was always using just a clean motor oil. Oil will dissolve all black car-dirt, which mostly oily, and after you just clean hands with soft paper and after wash out rest of almost clean oil with all you want - dish soap or normal one.. Dish soap is actually quite aggressive, so I try to avoid it. Never tried, but olive oil should work in same way and will even care of skin.

God bless you sir, awesome video

[@carquestions]

Thank you kindly Pro - Cheers From Canada!

[@FroztiProductions]

The dirty oil gives me hives and the washing dries and cracks the skin. It's hell cuz I love cars.

[@carquestions]

[@cruzangel841]

How many cost send this prodruct to Caguas Puerto Rico?

[@carquestions]

[@doncosmic6946]

But you don't realise that your bacterial protection layer of the skin is getting scrub and no more protection. There are many good product that has dermothologicaly tested for skin protection.

[@carquestions]

But you don't realize a basic dermatological fact - when you get hazardous oils on your skin they go right through it - so scrub off the layer and let it rebuild in a clean fashion

[@doncosmic6946]

carquestions : From a medical practitioners view, more you scrub the skin more it damages the inner layers and letting more rooms to penetrate hazardous substances in which end results would be somewhere closer to bone cancer. Therefore rubbing off the protective layer is not very advisable thing to do though it regrows.

[@carquestions]

Nonsense surgeons "scrub" for minutes prior to any surgery -

[@ISLAMITALEEM1]

Great

[@carquestions]

Thanks

[@danielsmith489]

Try baby oil then soap

[@carquestions]

I love the pad! scrapes the stuff right off - wouldn't baby oil be more messy and expensive?

[@nathanbeaner928]

Just wear gloves

[@FroztiProductions]

I'm so sensitive that even trace amounts gives me little hives, which always seems to make contact even with gloves. I also sweat profusely with gloves and that makes it worse.

[@jethro9341]

Would go thru an entire case doing one engine r&r lol

[@peng2732]

I know a lot of people who use gasoline

[@carquestions]

I used to as a kid - not a good idea or use of gas
