Swarfega Orange Hand Wash, Solvent-Free Heavy Duty Hand Cleaner with Natural Scrub and Moisturisers, Gentle on Skin 450ml Pump (Pack of 3)

I always used to use Swarfega but I decided to give this a try after Swarfega's habit of turning runny. It turns out this is far superior because it smells far better (beautifully orangey - smells good enough to eat) and has a grainy ingredient that feels just like sugar granules that help to scrape off the grime. It breaks down the oil as quickly as Swarfega but, unlike Swarfega, it then lathers up like soap when you come to rinse it off so the job is all done in one. To top it off, it leaves your hands smelling as if you've washed them in normal soap (and a good quality one too). A simply wonderful product!

After an eternity of waiting to get my car back from a repair shop, I was absolutely itching to get under its bonnet and service it. Oil levels? Check. Air filter? Check. Brakes? Check, check, check and check. You get the idea. After a while tinkering, unscrewing, screwing and happily playing around in the dirt and grime of an engine that's done almost 100k miles in its lifetime, I went to wash my hands. Unfortunately, I only had fairy liquid and some flowery branded hand-soap to go for at the time. The fairy was useless. Whilst it might be good for cleaning up dirty dishes and cooking oil, engine grease and grime laughs in its face. The other hand-soap was OK, but it took FOREVER to get it all off.After a bit of searching for the orange hand soap my fellow mechanical tinkerers use, I FINALLY came across Swarfega, a garage classic and ordered one. It cuts through grease and grime like you might wash your hands after eating a particularly messy kebab. It contains granules to help scrub out the toughest of materials embedded in your skin and leaves them feeling pretty fresh indeed. I don't know whether these are the same plastic micro-beads that are destroying our oceans and waterways, but I can certainly vouch for their effectiveness in cleaning just about anything you could encounter when working on a vehicle.Good points- Highly effective against most vehicle lubricants, grease, grime and anything else that gets your hands dirty.- Easy to use.- Smells just-the-right-amount-of-manliness to keep most guys happy, and appease their partner(s) that they have sufficiently washed their hands.- Gives a very satisfying scrub.- Easily identifiable in the kitchen.Not-so-good points- If you keep it in the kitchen, make sure your partner approves first!- Does take a little longer with stubborn stains and particularly thick grease, but your hands still feel pretty good afterwards, unlike tougher solvents that dry your skin out.OverallIf you work with anything mechanical and get yourself dirty, you need a bottle of Swarfega Orange.

Keeps hands clean and moisturised

Actually, I wanted tufenega, but I couldn't find that. So I had to make do with this instead.This actually works perfectly well need to give it a good scrub and your hands come up all clean and fresh smelling

So good the wife loved the smell and used it when we ran low on normal hand wash. I will definitely buy again and I can’t wear gloves so my hands get grubby and this stuff just shifts the grease and grime. Thanks for a great product.

Great product. Pleasant aroma. Does the job well. Reasonably priced.

I've tried other hand cleaners but find this is the best one,very little needed to remove oil and grease.

very good for cleaning dirty hands
