Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
Amen! Boraxo for the tough stuff, then Lava for the less-tough stuff.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
WD 40 is really good to kill wasps. Keep the red tube attached to the can for accuracy and results .

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
I was told that WD-40 is fish oil. I know it eventually evaporates so not good for oiling a clock. Good to spray on you razor blade after shaving to keep the corrosion down and prolong the life of the razor.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
If I walk back into the house with grease on my shoe, I use WD40 to clean the tiles but for hardly anything else. To clean dirty (greasy) hands, I use a waterless hand cleaner, then ordinary soap. I don't recognise the brands of cleaners you guys have been talking about.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
I use Stoko Kresto. Once you've tried it you'll never use anything else. It just works

I try to use more human friendly cleaners. The snap on stuff is incredible it expensive but you only need a toothbrush worth full or less and is leave your hands clean and soft. the gallon container would probably last my entire life. |

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
I won't use WD-40 on my hands- it's too smelly for one thing-- I can't find my old stand-by, Boraxo, in any store around here for a year now. My mechanic son gave me what he uses at work- Snap-On creme hand cleaner with water - it works super well and smells even better. A little goes a long way.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
Water Displacer #40 is a solvent that is proprietary to the manufacturer. I would have to look at the product safety data sheet to see if in contains something that is a health hazzard. I've known several people that used it for arthritis and claimed it helped. There is very little lubricant in the stuff so it's only a very temporary protectant against corrosion. It does displace moisture as advertised. I clean my motorcycles with it rather than get them wet.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
Best and cheapest hand cleaner is plain oil. Rub it on and it lifts dirt, grease, etc. I now fill it in a empty used hand cleaner squeeze bottle. Follow up with soap and water.

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
Directly from the WD40 Interweb...
“WD-40 MULTI-USE PRODUCT CURES ARTHRITIS!” NO WAY. Myth: WD-40 Multi-Use Product cures arthritis. Fact: This popular headline, appearing at least once a year in the tabloids, is completely FALSE. WD-40 Company does not recommend the use of WD-40 Multi-Use Product for medical purposes, and knows no reason why WD-40 Multi-Use Product would be effective for arthritis pain relief. WD-40 Multi-Use Product contains petroleum distillates and should be handled with the same precautions for any product containing this type of material. |

Re: WD40 as hand cleaner
Yeas ago people pitched an industrial solvent MDSO for arthritis. Turned out to be a REALLY bad idea.
