@ mattty ~ Swarfega is good, but this W5 thing is something else!
Comparing to the Swarfega, you need far less application (plus swarfega is well pricey)

Kitchen Gun is the best. BANG, BANG, BANG!
But cheers for the rec. on that Lidl stuff, it's about time I got some proper stuff to clean my hands after bike maintenance.

Surgical gloves, or just get some barrier cream (e.g. Sudocrem) rubbed into your hands before doing dirty stuff.
Sudocrem is mainly for cyclists. Babies can get to the back of the line.

actually lol'd at that. True. Thank god for that stuff.
Weirdly enough, last time I saw my mum she just gave me a giant pot of swarfega! Winner!

cheapest handcleaner going:
- turn on taps, but don't get your hands wet
- squeeze a good-sized dollop of fairy liquid onto your dry hands
- rub it in everywhere
- wash your hands under the tap
that gets rid of most grease.

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.

Washing-up liquid plus sugar. The sugar is abrasive enough to lift the dirt...

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.

Salt's not so good if you have any cuts or grazes though...

or if you are at risk of cardiovascular disease.

Salt's good if you wanna make the cuts into nicely raised scars...

what a fantastic jumper
For ages I been looking for something that can shift dirt fast, and now I believe I've found it....and its from LIDL!
500ml tub
I totally recommend this and for performance-over-price its truly special
(I got mine for £1.50 and after a month of use its not even 3/4 of the way down!!)
Wood flour-based and only needs a pinch with some water to get the grubbiest of mitts clean..BARGAIN!
