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. Jo |

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. "Jofirey" wrote in message ...

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. |

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. Jill |

Jill- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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.
