Permatex 25218 Fast Orange Pumice Lotion Hand Cleaner

Used Fast Orange for years and haven't found anything better. The light pumice and lanolin cleans just about anything on your hands without burning all the little nicks and scratches. Just about the only place it doesn't clean is under the nails and a little knuckle brush takes care of that. Works for latex paint but struggles a little with primer like Kilz. The trick for this is to coat your hands first and then wipe off before painting. Even primer cleans after wards. Nice orange smell. Dinged it 1 star because the pump sometimes gives up before all the cleaner is gone. Needs to be cleaned once in a while but always forget. A gallon lasts a long time and highly recommended.

We use Permatex orange hand cleaner in our printing studio at the University of Nevada, Reno where I teach book arts. We do a lot of letterpress printing, which means that everyone gets printing ink on their hands. The Permatex is like magic, removing the ink and giving the students and I clean hands. Highly recommended.
