I should remember this be just can't.

Middle grandson is learning auto mechanics and now has a part time job
working on cars. Accompanied by the sort of grease that goes along
with such endeavors. Now fortunately while he is messy by nature, he
isn't dirty. But he is coming home covered in grease, and I need to
remember some of the things that help deal with this. (His employer
doesn't send their shirts out to a laundry as most auto shops do.
Guess he's single, because most wives won't allow them in the house or
in the family laundry)

What is the best hand cleaner for getting rid of grease while still
keeping some skin on your hands? I got some Lava soap today, but I
think I remember something better. What about for laundry? I know
the grease isn't coming out of his stuff, but I'd kind of like to not
get it on everything else.

To bring it back on topic, I'm quite sure Molly, Jake, and even Kayla
would prefer clean scritches to greasy ones.

I remember my dad used to use this stuff called "Gojo". It was
specifically for cleaning grease/oil and
had kind of a thick cream texture. I think you can buy it anywhere
automotive products are sold;
I did a quick google and came up with this info:
http://automotive.gojo.com/products/index.asp

I remember also it had a really weird, distinctive smell to it. I
still remember that smell though I haven't
seen the product in years.

"Goop" is a popular hand cleaner.

I don't know what laundry soap would be good.

My son uses something called "Goop". We use a pre treat and era. When I do
his laundry, I throw a cup of white vinegar in with the soap. His wife has
finally decided that is a good idea. If nothing else, it helps keep the
washer clean.

Find some Goop brand 'waterless' soap. It removes grease extremely
well. I use it with a little water and a small brush. Then use the Lava
to finish cleaning.

You can use it in the laundry, too.

Be sure to get the Goop brand. There is another brand, GoJO, but it
SMELLS, and if you use it on clothing, EVERYTHING will STINK like that
brand of 'waterless soap', that's in the washing machine.

For hand washing, Fast Orange brand also works well; but I've never
tried it on clothing. When my hands are REALLY greasy and dirty, I
always use the Goop first, and Fast Orange second.

When I did really dirty car work, I used to wear a pair of coveralls
over old clothing, so I could take off the coverall, and all the grease,
oil, and dirt are mostly on the coveralls.

That's the kind of thing I needed reminded to do. Otherwise you are
liable to get residual greese from his laundry of our nice stuff.

To me Gojo always smelled like bananas. In fact we called it "banana goo"
when we used it at the radio station to get ink off our hands from changing
the ribbon on the old AP (Associated Press) wire. (God, that was a long
time ago... does anyone still do "rip and read" newscasting? lol) Anyway,
it works great and doesn't make your hands feel like you've been scouring
them with steel wool.

Yes, that's what it was! It smelled banana-ey.
And yes, I *do* remember "rip & read" at the newspaper! Only we
subscribed
to UPI, not AP. I also remember the bell that would sound when
particularly
hot breaking news was coming in, and we'd all gather around the
machine.
Eisenhower became gravely ill on a Saturday night as we were putting
together
the Sunday a.m. edition; UPI sent the obituary, only he wasn't dead
yet and we
waited to hear that bell until the wee hours before we finished the
front page; until
the editor finally said the official words, "Let's put this puppy in
the sack." we
finished up without the story.

Thanks. You would have thought I could have remembered the name of a
product like GoJo wouldn't you?

Off to the auto store.
