Favorite "garage hands" soap?

AJAX Ultra w/ Grapefruit . Like the smell as well . Also use window cleaner w/ ammonia and 70% rubbing alcohol . Window cleaner works great for cleaning up motor oil , breaks it up , helping clean out oil drain bucket , oil pan , drive , etc. . Rubbing alcohol 2nd to oil cleanup and does well with pine pitch on your hands , bottom of shoes , etc..

I’ve been using Zep Orange from the orange box. In a pinch, a two-step cleanse with WD-40/Pam first then Dawn works well too.

A 2QT container of Fast Orange I bought in the early 2000's has served me well all these years.

I really like pinerite soap. It's dry and granular but gets activated when you add water.
Pinerite soap
Plus it's made locally so it supports local business.

I prefer "free soap" it has a special lather to it.

This stuff works amazingly to clean dirty / greasy hands! Don't know why, but it's just great! I have one in the bathroom sink to clean my hands after i'm in the garage working on something

Robot or human?

Pro Soap Industrial hand cleaner. Tried them all, this is by far the best. Only thing that gets grime off your hands better is carbon tri-chlorathene, an extremely "hot" grease cutting chemical that was used in the die casting industry to clean dies until it was banned by OSHA for being an extreme skin carcinogen.

Fast Orange, even use the stuff on grease stains on my clothes...scrub it in with my wife's toothbrush. Then RUN!!

While cooking a few nights ago I got a few spots of olive oil on my shirt . Dampened a paper towel with 70% rubbing alcohol and applied it to them . Look to be gone .

I prefer a soap called Zolex. It’s a green paste that comes in a tub. As a heavy equipment mechanic, I struggled to find something that would work excellent and didn’t hurt the wallet. I got it on Amazon.
As for a laundry detergent, Fast orange detergent works amazingly well. Took all the grease and oil stains out and got rid of all the hydraulic oil smells. I usually got that at Advanced Auto parts.
