How to Wash Your Hands After Working in the Garage: A Proven Method

28.03.2023 13:17

Any car enthusiast knows that getting your hands in order after repairing a car is quite problematic.

The task becomes more difficult if there is machine oil on your palms.

As a rule, garage craftsmen use solvent or gasoline as a means of removing dirt, but such compounds have two disadvantages at once: they emit an unpleasant odor, and they also dry out the skin.

Instead, it is worth resorting to the help of a good old friend - laundry soap.

However, simply rinsing your hands by rubbing them with a bar of soap is not enough. To quickly and easily say goodbye to dirt, you should prepare a special product.

Grate a bar of soap using a coarse grater and pour the shavings into a suitable container.

Add water – enough to slightly cover the crushed mass – and leave for 24 hours.

After the specified time, add sifted sand to the resulting cleaning paste – approximately ¼ or even 1/5 of the total volume of the prepared paste.

For aroma, you can also pour in a little fragrant liquid soap. In a pinch, dishwashing liquid will do.
