Good hand cleaner

[PhillipM]

I mean sometimes I have to resort to a stainless pan scourer, that's when it reminds me to buy more of the BH stuff

Ill admit elbows are a problem, but arms are no challenge for the stubble.

Stubble is the best scrubbing media for the hands, have no need for grit, sugar, abrasives, oats and things in soap, pointless rubbish.

Whoever thought it was ok to put plastic beads in soap, any manufacturers that did it, should be getting heavy fines on account of the environmental polution, in my opinion. The monies to be used to clean up some of this mess.

Personally i don't like to rub my dirty hands/arms on my face...

I agree, I can't believe that responsible companies would sanction it.

Yep, or slice some cheese!

Best I ever used was Comma Manister lemon but that was years ago and I bet its changed these days.
The beauty of ecover is every supermarket has it.

I still use it and don't think it's changed except for the grit stuff which is now a volcanic ash rather than plastic.

In fact, I had a couple of 3ltr tubs delivered only the other day.

I rate it as a hand cleaner and Mrs RWD3M doesn't object to the smell!

Fried chicken works well also. Is that available over there? No one ever mentions it.

Time to revive this thread please - just on the dregs of my 4L Swarfega Power - which I find good enough but it no longer seems to be available at a reasonable price - i.e. £20.
A lot has changed in 5 years - and ingredients aren't what they once were - so are the above recommendations still good - or do we have a new favourite?

The lidl hand cleaner is very good. It's more of a dry paste, very effective

Stoko solopol is (or was, it’s been a while since I’ve used any) quite a “dry” paste, it was very good at removing heavy ingrained grime.

Pink Stuff

£1.50 in most supermarkets

Oliva Pure Olive Oil Soap

£1.68 in Holland and Barrett

We have Zep at work, don't know how much it costs but it's pretty good.

Lidl or bardhal hand cleaner best I've ever used and eco friendly as they don't use plastic micro beads.

 

[dobbslc]

I thought micro beads were banned now? But you never know what the Chinese are still using...

 

[arther dailey]

washing up powder with a tad of fairy does me .

I think the natural stuff is still ok, eg pumice - plastic ones I think are banned.

Damn - I was there tonight as well- I try not to go too often so I can avoid tool temptation. Is it just labelled as hand cleaner in the normal cleaning aisle, or something else?

Loctite 7850 or there's a Gojo product which is basically the same. Much better than Swarfega, it absolutely reeks of orange (D-limonene presumably).

 

[fizzy]

Best I have ever used was lava hand cleaner. Green gunk with pumice in it. 2nd best comma manista lemon
