WD40 as hand cleaner
 

Wondering if I am the only one that uses WD40 for cleaning the grease off my hands?

I use sawdust, then soap and water.

Go-jo or such
Then lava soap
I think wd-40 stinks and stays with you
I’ve also started using rubber gloves alot especially when into parts cleaners

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
 

I use borax and dish washing soap.

BTW, WD-40 makes a good under arm deodorant too! :-)

I don't use WD40 for much of anything.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
 

I use dish washing liquid and a worn out scotch brite pad.

Yeah, you're the only one. :D

I’ve used wd-40 for cleaning greasy hands, it also helps arthritic hands! Mostly use it for cleaning bugs and tar off of paint

I think that Dawn dish soap and warm water is easiest on your hands and is inexpensive , works very well especially with a small brush. Gojo is good but if you tend to use water to remove it and the dirt rather than a paper towel or a rag, sooner or later you will be needing to clean your drain as it can gum up the drainage path.

Dawn dish soap & a scrub brush works for me.

I like Tub o’Towels. Great for removing oil/grease/dirt from hands and other objects without water. I do use WD40 as a solvent when cleaning machine parts that the water-based parts cleaners struggle with.

Boraxo! Keep them mule teams moving!

I have never used WD-40 BUT automatic transmission fluid works well for the worst oily grime that I have gotten into. Then clean with hand cleaner.

BTW, penetrating oils like PJ Blaster do a good job of cutting into the grime on parts before cleaning with something else. I suppose WD-40 would be similar to this.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
 

I can't help to think those things are pretty good at penetrating your skin, too.....from there, who knows where the chemicals go?

I buy it by the gallon. Hand cleaner- yes! Tar remover-yes. Pentrating oil-yes. Displaces moisture and leaves a protective film.

I use Eazy Off oven cleaner a lot
Especially on things like latches and regulators
Spray on put in the sun, wash off in 30 minutes or so.

If WD40 does what it is supposed to do, displace water, what is it doing to the moisture in your skin?
