dirty hands

[greenstar]

I find washing my hair gets the remainder of the dirt out of my nails/cracks in my skin where my eczema has flared up, either that or give both of my wee lads a good scrubbing! That might be a problem when they grow up.

I recently started using using Ecover hand wash stuff, it smells lovley and has left my hands softer than my normal bar of soap, still use a nail brush though.

Any barrier cream would help. ...My hands a leathery ne'er clean mess tho! sorry definately not the man to ask. However id go with soap and grit rather than washing up liquid. Someone brought me some gardeners soap that is quite good.

Prevention is better than cure, wear marigolds. If I'm not down the lottie covered in soil and muck, I'm in the workshop covered in steam oil and grease. I use industrial hand cleaner and sharp sand. It shifts 90% of the dirt off but turns your skin into Rhino hide. It'll work, but I don't think it's the result you want!

They do a heavy duty tube of gritty cleaner stuff too which is brilliant. OH uses it on garage dirty hands too.

Yesterday I lit the garden incinerator bin thing (after checking no-one had their washing out of course) and started burning rubbish. I had a heap of cardboard to burn so ripped it into small its and popped it into the chimney hole. Today I have bright orange, kipper like hands, no matter how much I scrub them they look like I've been smoking 1000 fags a day, and they stink.

My granny used to recommend making pastry as a way of cleaning hands Her rhubarb pie was very tasty though!
