Sugar scrub

Kate's sugar scrub is yummy, but if you just have to clean up after repairing an engine, my dad taught me this years ago.

Place a squirt of dish liquid in your dry palm. Add a spoonful of sugar. Scrub. When you're done scrubbing, rinse with water. Liz

the sugar scrub I was taught was:

a spoonful of sugar on the palm of the hand and add a small amount of almond oil - scrub and rinse and you hands are all soft and smell of marzipan! (not good when on a diet LOL)

It works, but leaves your hands very dry, which is what I needed to counter.

When I was doing my own bike maintenance, I would take any available clean grease -- olive oil, Crisco, whatever I found in a used skillet

-- rub it into my hands until it was black, wipe it off with a paper towel, then wash as usual. (Works on paint, too.)

Out on the road, grease and paper towels alone would suffice. After getting oil all over my toolkit, I switched from a one-ounce dispenser bottle of olive oil to a screw-top lip-salve box of original-formula Eucerine -- a hand cream that you could slice if it weren't so sticky.
