Industrial Hand Cleaner and Heavy Duty Hand Soap Product information

ClickCleaning stocks industrial-strength hand cleaners designed for workers who deal with serious contamination that regular soap can't handle. If you work with oils, grease, paints, adhesives, or other stubborn substances, you need hand cleaners that can actually remove the contamination without destroying your skin in the process.

Regular hand soap just isn't up to the job when you're dealing with petroleum products, industrial adhesives, or ingrained dirt and grime. You need cleaners with serious cleaning power, but modern industrial hand cleaners have moved beyond the harsh, skin-stripping formulations of the past to provide effective cleaning with skin protection.

Our industrial hand cleaner range focuses on proven performers: Scrubb Orange heavy duty beaded hand cleaner for serious scrubbing action, and the
DERMEX Mechanic Soap Skincare System that combines powerful cleaning with comprehensive skin protection.

Scrubb Orange Scrub Heavy Duty Beaded Hand Cleaner provides the aggressive cleaning action needed for stubborn contamination whilst incorporating skin-friendly ingredients. The beaded formulation includes fine abrasive particles that help mechanically remove ingrained dirt, grease, and other
contamination that smooth soaps can't shift.

The orange formulation isn't just about pleasant fragrance - citrus oils are naturally effective at breaking down petroleum-based contamination like oils
and greases. Combined with the mechanical scrubbing action of the beads, it provides comprehensive cleaning for hands that regular soap can't help.

The 1-litre container is sized for workshop use where multiple people need access to heavy-duty cleaning. It's large enough to provide extended service whilst remaining manageable for practical use in industrial environments.

The beaded texture provides controlled abrasive action that removes contamination without being overly harsh on skin. Modern beaded cleaners use spherical particles rather than sharp grit, providing effective scrubbing
whilst minimising skin damage.

DERMEX Mechanic Soap Skincare System represents a comprehensive approach to industrial hand care. Rather than just removing contamination, it's designed to clean, condition, and protect skin that's regularly exposed to harsh industrial substances.

The system approach recognises that workers in industrial environments need more than basic cleaning - they need protection from the cumulative effects of repeated exposure to solvents, oils, and other potentially damaging substances.

Professional mechanic and industrial environments create specific challenges for hand care. Petroleum products can strip natural skin oils, solvents can
cause drying and cracking, and abrasive materials can cause mechanical damage. Standard hand soaps aren't formulated to address these challenges.

Effective industrial hand cleaners combine several cleaning mechanisms: surfactants to break down oils and greases, mild abrasives to remove ingrained contamination, solvents to dissolve stubborn substances, and conditioning agents to protect and restore skin condition.

The cleaning process for industrial contamination typically requires more time and product than regular handwashing. Apply the cleaner to dry hands first, work it in thoroughly to break down contamination, then add water to create lather for final cleaning and rinsing.

Skin protection becomes critical with frequent use of industrial cleaners. Look for products that include moisturising and conditioning ingredients rather than harsh detergents that strip everything from skin. Your hands need protection from both contamination and the cleaning process itself.

Water temperature affects cleaning effectiveness with industrial hand cleaners. Warm water helps activate cleaning agents and makes contamination easier to remove, but excessively hot water can drive solvents deeper into skin and increase the risk of chemical absorption.

Application technique matters with heavy-duty cleaners. Work the product into dry hands first to break down contamination, pay attention to fingernails and creases where contamination accumulates, use adequate scrubbing time to allow the cleaner to work, then rinse thoroughly to remove both contamination and cleaner residues.

Personal protective equipment should still be the first line of defence against contamination. Industrial hand cleaners are for removing contamination that gets past gloves and protective measures, not for replacing proper protection during work.

Skin condition monitoring is important for workers using industrial cleaners regularly. Watch for signs of excessive drying, cracking, or irritation that might indicate the need for different products or additional skin protection measures.

Storage considerations for industrial cleaners include keeping containers sealed to prevent evaporation of active ingredients, storing in temperature-controlled conditions to maintain product consistency, and ensuring easy access in work areas where contamination occurs regularly.

Cost effectiveness includes not just the product price but also the effectiveness at removing contamination quickly. Products that require multiple applications or excessive scrubbing time end up costing more in labour time and skin damage than effective cleaners that work quickly.

Environmental considerations include proper disposal of used cleaning materials and contaminated rinse water, which may require special handling
depending on the types of contamination being removed.

Professional applications for industrial hand cleaners include automotive workshops and garages, manufacturing facilities with oil and grease exposure,
maintenance and repair operations, printing and paint operations, construction sites with adhesive and sealant exposure, and any workplace where workers regularly handle substances that regular soap can't remove.

Regulatory compliance in some industries may require specific hand cleaner formulations or skin protection measures. Industrial facilities should ensure their chosen hand cleaners meet relevant health and safety requirements for their specific operations.

Training on proper use of industrial hand cleaners helps maximise effectiveness whilst minimising skin damage. Workers should understand application techniques, appropriate scrubbing time, and signs that indicate they need additional skin protection measures.

Industrial Hand Cleaner and Heavy Duty Hand Soap FAQs

When do I need industrial hand cleaner instead of regular soap?

Use industrial cleaners when you're dealing with petroleum products (oils, greases, fuels), paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, industrial dirt and grime, or any contamination that regular soap can't remove effectively.

If you find yourself scrubbing for ages with regular soap and still have contamination left, or if your hands feel greasy or sticky after washing, you need something stronger.

Are beaded hand cleaners safe for regular use?

Modern beaded cleaners like the Scrubb Orange use spherical particles designed to be gentle whilst providing scrubbing action. They're much safer than the harsh grit-based cleaners of the past.

Use them when you need the extra cleaning power, but don't use them for every wash if regular soap will do the job. The beads help remove stubborn contamination without being overly abrasive on healthy skin.

What's the difference between industrial hand cleaner and regular soap?

Industrial cleaners are formulated to handle petroleum products, adhesives, paints, and other substances that regular soap can't touch. They include stronger surfactants, mild solvents, and often abrasive particles.

Regular soap works fine for normal dirt and general hygiene, but if you're left with greasy or sticky hands after washing, you need something stronger. Industrial cleaners are designed for contamination that won't come off with normal washing.

How do I use beaded hand cleaners properly?

Apply the cleaner to dry hands first - this is important because it allows the cleaning agents to work on the contamination before being diluted. Work the product in thoroughly, paying attention to fingernails and creases where contamination builds up.

Add a small amount of warm water to create lather, continue scrubbing for 30-60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. The beads do the mechanical work, so you don't need to scrub as hard as you might think.

Is the DERMEX system worth the extra cost?

If you're in an industrial environment where hands take a real beating from oils, solvents, and harsh conditions, yes. The system approach provides cleaning, conditioning, and protection rather than just removing contamination.

For occasional use or light industrial work, the Scrubb Orange might be sufficient. But for daily exposure to harsh industrial conditions, investing in proper skin protection pays off in comfort and long-term skin health.

Can these cleaners remove paint and adhesives?

Yes, both products are effective against many paints, adhesives, and sealants. The solvents and surfactants help break down these substances whilst the mechanical action removes them.

However, some specialized coatings or adhesives might need specific removers. These cleaners work well for general workshop contamination but aren't magic solutions for every possible substance.

How often can I use industrial hand cleaners?

Use them when you need them - after exposure to contamination that regular soap can't handle. Don't use them for routine handwashing as they're stronger than necessary for normal hygiene.

If you're using industrial cleaners multiple times daily, make sure you're also using appropriate moisturiser or barrier cream to protect your skin from the cumulative effects.

Do these products have any safety concerns?

They're designed to be much safer than the harsh industrial cleaners of the past, but they're still stronger than regular soap. Avoid getting them in eyes, don't use on broken or severely irritated skin, and always rinse thoroughly.

If you experience persistent skin irritation, try using them less frequently or switch to gentler alternatives. Some people are more sensitive to industrial cleaners than others.

What's the best technique for removing stubborn contamination?

Start with dry hands and work the cleaner in thoroughly before adding water. Let the cleaning agents work for 30-60 seconds before rinsing. For really stubborn contamination, you might need a second application.

Don't scrub harder - let the product do the work. Excessive scrubbing damages skin without improving cleaning effectiveness.

Can I use these cleaners on other parts of my body?

They're formulated for hands, which have thicker, more resilient skin. Don't use them on your face or other sensitive areas unless specifically indicated on the product.

For contamination on arms or other areas, dilute the cleaner with water or use gentler alternatives designed for body use.

How should I store industrial hand cleaners?

Keep containers sealed to prevent the active ingredients from evaporating or deteriorating. Store in moderate temperatures - extreme heat or cold can affect the consistency and effectiveness.

Keep them easily accessible in work areas where contamination occurs, but away from food preparation or eating areas. Make sure containers are clearly labelled to prevent accidental misuse.
