If you’re a mechanic or auto tech, you know how tough hand washing can be on your skin. No matter how much you scrub, grime and dirt can linger. Fortunately, Tub O’ Towels is ready to help. Our heavy duty wipes cut grease and grime while leaving your hands soft and smooth. In fact, they were actually developed as hand wipes, and it was only later that we found out how good they are at cleaning surfaces as well.
Hand Cleaners for Mechanics (The Not So Good)
Trying to clean grease and grime off your hands is an age-old problem, and numerous hand cleaners have been developed. While some work pretty well, they can be tough on your hands (loaded with petroleum distillates) and take a long time to remove all of the mess. Here are the basic types of traditional hand cleaners for mechanics:
- Citrus-based cleaners: The theory is that citric acid can cut through grease and grime. While there is a reasonable scientific basis, it takes a lot of product and a lot of scrubbing to get through the mess that mechanics deal with every day.
- Pumice-based cleaners: Pumice is a rough-textured volcanic rock, and adding it to a hand cleaner provides friction to help the cleaning process. Pumice-based cleaners work well, but the grit can leave hands chapped and sore.
- Pastes and gels: There are a lot of pastes and gels on the market, generally with fruity scents. These chemical concoctions are good at removing grime but can be drying and can leave residue behind.
- Gritty home concoctions: Many mechanics mix up their own hand scrubs from such combinations as sugar and dish soap or powdered laundry detergent and olive oil. These concoctions can leave hands dry and chapped, and often contain chemicals that should not be ingested.
- Gasoline: We've heard some people do this, but DO NOT USE AS A HAND CLEANER!
Mechanics Hand Cleaner (The Better Solution)
Although the hand cleaners detailed above work fairly well, they can be messy, drying, and hard to use. Tub O’ Towels wipes offer a better solution. Featuring our special Bond Buster™ technology, our heavy duty wipes also contain skin conditioners such as aloe, lanolin, and vitamin E. Here’s all you have to do:
- Grab a Tub O’ Towels heavy duty wipe.
- Wipe your hands thoroughly, allowing the wipe to lift away the mess.
- Use additional wipes if needed until your hands are entirely clean.
Pro Tip: No access to water? No problem! Tub O' Towels are solution-soaked wipes that don't need water to clean. Prefer a traditional hand cleaner? Try our Tub O' Scrub walnut shell hand cleaner, which features walnut shells as the abrasive instead of pumice. No water needed for Tub O' Scrub either!
