What are the best heavy-duty hand cleaners for mechanics? 

As a mechanic who works with their hands and finds them constantly greased with auto solvents and other grime, you'll want to invest in a heavy-duty hand cleaner and a brush. What ingredients should you look for when buying mechanic hand cleaners? Read on to find out more.

Due to the chemical makeup of industrial hand cleaners, which may cause rough skin over time, look for natural ingredients with conditioning properties, such as jojoba oil, aloe vera, and lanolin. At the same time, check the ingredients for potential allergens.  Many hand cleaners have citrus, lime, and fruity scents so choose a fragrance that suits you best.

What else can be used to remove oil and grease from hands?

In addition to the properties mentioned above, what sets these cleaners apart is that they contain abrasive materials, like pumice, which are gritty and help scrub tough stains and grease from your hands. In addition, waterless hand cleaners, as the name suggests, do not require dilution to lather and work effectively. For best results, consider buying a hand and nail brush to work the cleaners effectively and help reach between fingers and under nails.
