What do you guys use to wash your hands?
« on: November 02, 2011, 03:03:59 PM »
I've seen the guys in my buddy's shop using dehazer but that seems like a bad idea.

What do you guys... soap and water surely doesn't REALLY get any ink off your hands.

Anything that has a sandy texture or rated for auto body/auto mechanic use. That orange stuff works well and we just started using this stuff made by castrol that says in doesnt require water or a towel, but I use both anyway and it really does a good job getting the ink off. I forgot the name of the stuff though.

Yeah, I'm familiar with similar stuff for work with cars/oil.

Lots of waterless stuff in the oil field.  Was wondering if there was something else but I guess I'll just go for that.

we use Gojo Multi Green.  i buy it in 5000 ml containers from MSC

we have tried other soaps but the ones with pumice seem to clog up the drains.

i wait for a sale - once in a while they have a 35% or a 45% off... 

we use "lunch lady" style polygloves - also from MSC...  although annoying to wear sometimes, they are quite inexpensive.

soap...that is because we use gloves when using ink and whatnot...cost analysis is cheaper to use gloves than have an employee spend 5 minutes trying to get their hands clean to touch white shirts or the black shirts after using white ink...we use the food service gloves for fast stuff and then the doctor style of gloves for longer projects...

For those using gloves...

Are you guys just that good while printing not to ever get ink on you?  Or do you where gloves during that time also and wipe them clean (being gloves they clean easier?) or do you guys just dispose and glove up again?

I hate gloves.  My personal analysis is they make my hands sweat like a whore in church.  And that is a verifiable fact.

I use them when dealing with harsh stuff.  My cost analysis is it takes less time to wipe ink off handles and the outsides of buckets than it does to clean it off your hands.

You know me, I'm a sissy... I hate being dirty so I don't mind gloves... besides, I don't really ever sweat.

My buddy makes fun of me all the time because I wear nitrile gloves while working on my car. :)

As mentioned above, soap.  I use gloves because I hate wasting time washing my freaking hands.  Also it never fails that once I get ink on my hands and I have to take a leak.
