    grease smell

    Anybody got a good method to remove the smell of bike grease from your hands? Seems to last about 2 days for me.

    Goop!

    Get "Goop" hand cleaner from your local automobile parts store. That's what my DH uses when he works on cars. His is the Orange Goop. Works great. When you open it and grab some, you will imediately know why it's named goop!

    Another auto mechanic tip - use a heavy lotion like Curel on your hands before getting them greasy. If your hands are dry to start with you'll absorb the grease deeply into the skin and soap won't get it out.

    We use Swarfega or Laurel's Best Hand Cleaner

    Both come in a pot and you scoop some out and wash your hands... it is grainy and works well on grease and oil and other mucky stuff...

    I have an idea that Swarfega also comes in a bar...


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".
