Whenever you use fast Orange, goop or lanolin based, use the paper towels before you use the water! The water, unless very hot, makes the lanolin stiffen up/congeal. You get much more of the dissolved dirt off if you first wipe everything with paper towels or rags before final washing with soapy water.

As a child my father would use wd40 or gasoline to clean our hands after working on the car. I wouldn’t recommend using gasoline but I do still use the wd40 if I have a lot of grease. Working as a technician doing oil changes we used orange gojo and dish soap. The key is to put on a good lotion. I would use carmex and lotion on my forearms to prevent the oil from absorbing into my skin. People take for granted the wisdom and information you share. Thanks for the videos. Much respect. It’s a privilege to learn from masters like you. Imagine how much time and hassle we could have saved if we had access to smart phones and videos like these back in our youth. On the shoulders of giants we stand. Forever grateful to those who came before me. Have a wonderful day everyone.

I had a similar childhood and gas was my degreaser when I was younger.

Yeah I started using Tub O Towels last year I really like them they seem to take sh*t off fast orange won't touch. I use the towels on my face it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. In the past I'd use brake clean to clean my hands probably not the best idea 😂 I've tried carrying fast orange in the truck it just doesn't work. Seen something on the net try WD-40 I never use the stuff its no damn good for a lubricant or penetrating oil. Damn does it clean it takes grease off painted surfaces on excavators and it takes grease off your hands. Now I carry WD-40 just for a cleaner I'm not burning through cans and cans of brake clean.

I don't do mechanics, but rather painting and furniture restoration, although I occasionally do some household repairs that involve grease. I wear gloves whenever possible, but when my hands get dirty from solvent-based paints or stains, WD40 works best for me. It doesn't irritate my skin (I'm a woman, so I have delicate skin) and then a good wash with warm water and soap finishes the job perfectly.

Thank you for your review of all of those products. I enjoyed the video. I have used Gojo for quite a few years and find it very effective. It also comes in a large jug with a pump. I build decks and often get sap on my hands and Gojo is quite effective at removing it. For those of you who may not have hand cleaner like the ones in the video, WD-40 is a very effective sap remover and it’s probably sitting somewhere in your house. It’s good at removing a lot of nasty dirt from hands. Even paint.

Scott, started in the 70’s using powdered Boraxo with old concrete round slop sink with the foot bar. Then went to LAVA pumice soap. This too was with water rinse. Graduated to Goop, then Go-Jo with the wall mounted dispenser, no water needed. Then to the Fast Orange, that I really liked. Problem with all was always using shop rags or shop towels. So seemed like double the expense to me. Recently upgraded to Tub O Towels. My new go to and favorite. Really cuts the grease and an all in one. I do occasionally use the Nitrile gloves, but guess I’m a little old school and just don’t get the feel with them on. I prefer working bare handed. Gloves are great, just not for me. My overall pick is the Tub O Towels. Thanks for the interesting content.👍👍

That dust trick with the pitch/sap... literally learned that myself in the field just a few months ago. 2x4 oozed a bunch on my hand, I rubbed it in saw dust instead of trying to clean it right away.. discovered the dust absorbed right into it and it felt dry / no longer sticky, so was able to resume work w/o spreading it everywhere and feeling that terrible stickiness, but then discovered just normal dish soap and water took it right off (when mixed w/dust). Usually it's a bear to wash off. I don't know why/how I didn't figure this out earlier. But thanks for sharing the tip for anyone else who hasn't found it yet.

I grew up in the NW Louisiana oilfield riding in the truck while my dad worked. He always used gasoline and taught me the same when I went to work for him in my late 20s. We used to use raw gasoline, straight from the source, and later we used more store bought gas with ethanol. I have no doubt that both are bad for your skin, and dad and I both have dealt with some skin conditions over the years, although sometimes it’s the only thing that will do. I strongly preferred the raw gasoline (called casing head gas) to the modern stuff. Both versions have the advantage of being cheaper than all the hand cleaners you can buy. These days I really like mule wipes /tub o towels over gas. The towels are sturdy enough that they can be saved after you clean your hands and used a few more times for wiping off parts and such. But they are expensive. 😢

If oil and grease are the main issue, the best and cheapest solution I have found is to use Dawn dish detergent with a bit of baking soda. It works like magic. Add a bit of water, work it over like a paste then rinse with warm water. The Dawn breaks down the grease and the baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to remove stubborn stains (similar to pumice in Fast Orange).
@44R0Ndin
@44R0Ndin Ай бұрын
That's a fantastic idea, and you might not know one of the reasons why. Baking soda is a base, just like lye is. You know what lye and other bases do to oils when they come in contact? Saponification! The baking soda, to a small degree, is not only a good abrasive, but when combating greasy soils it actually breaks down those oils into MORE SOAP, which I can only imagine helps the process along even faster than if you were to use an inert grit. Do be careful to not leave it on too long tho, it'll probably start doing that to the natural oils in your skin too.

I use the Fast Orange and water and I like the Tub of Towels too. The Tub of Towels is great for cleaning tools.

Butter, who knew? Always used kerosine, but I'm going to try butter. Thanks for that tip!

TKO by zep is a great option it has the stone in it to clean off I am a toolmaker a small piece of dirt can ruin a precision part so clean is very important. sometimes the stone soap isn't enough on its own, you can use a bit of powdered soap dry on the hands to pre clean before you go in with the stone soap.

I had Gojo for some time and it worked well. But now I just use dish washing detergent and that is good enough. Those cleaners are good for when you are out on the 4x4 trail and don’t have a lot of water.

I use a small spray of full strength Simple Green. I always have it in the garage to clean most anything including my hands. Follow up with dawn when I get in the house.

Fast orange is what my father used so I've always used it without thought. Glad to see it win this competition, although that gojo looked pretty good too

Not just pummus but some have diatoms in them as well. I use the orange abrasive handsoap called D-Lead, works great to take all that off. Seems similar to some of these.

I prefer the Tub O towels. They stay on my flatbed year round, and I’ve never had them dry out. And if the towels aren’t too dirty when they dry they make pretty good grease zerk or oil level checking towels

Dove dish soap. Cuts grease great & is kind to the hands. I always used Lava or Boraxo, but ran out one evening and my wife had a bottle of Dove in the kitchen sink. I was amazed how quickly it worked, especially around the fingernails. My dad always used Lava soap, so I did too. We tried the jelled cleaners - the supply house even gave out sample cans, but we didn’t like the feel or smell.

In the workshop I installed a water tap (cold only). Fast orange is the go to. But growing up and being a hands on learner I used to use my mother's dish soap (dawn) and a spoon of sugar for some grit. Always did the trick and it's much cheaper than F.O. But fast orange is better for long term use and skin health.

When your brand can release a video and 24 hours later, there are 19k views, 1.5k 'thumbs up', and 350 comments, all watching a fellow wash his hands, you know you're onto something. Great video. Good information. Thank you.

Full bore is the best hand cleaner I've ever used. It's like sand. Almost all pumice. Just put a quarter sized dollop in your palm, a little bit of water and scrub. Takes grease right off your hands. Works good for cleaning roofing tar off your hands too

Super Soap is my go to, surprised you didn't have it in the mix. Also a little borax plus any detergent (dish soap, or powder laundry detergent) will get your hands clean.

isopropyl alcohol will take sap off and provide a nice sting if you have any cuts on your hand. I also use it when I spill gas on my hands because I don't like smelling like gas all day after a spill. Thanks for the vid!
