Best Hand Cleaner!

My mum came back from her seaside holiday in St Annes bearing the gift of Swarfega. It's a funny thing to be given as a pressie, especially when you're expecting a stick of rock or an ornamental dog made out of seashells. Mums specialise in weird, I suppose. She didn't even wrap it. :-)

Does Swarfega really work, anyway? I went through a third of a pot at the weekend and my hands are still boggin'. My fingernails are particularly offensive. Scrubbing underneath them with a nailbrush dipped in Swarfega had minimal impact, so I'm off to Lidl tomorrow to look for that W5 stuff.

From the seaside?! Weird. I'm pretty sure mine came from Finchley Road Homebase or something like that..

I think she couldn't bare the idea of me going to meetings/work with my hands/arms/legs covered in bike goop anymore.

Swarfega works for getting the stuff of my hands, but the only thing that gets it from under your nails is a good sharp knife or the "scrapey under the nail" bit of nail clippers.
