House & Home Hand wash

@Simon Hampel

Took a little while but the cogs have gone full circle:

Protectoline
MSDS

 

How 'bout shampoo? Try one for babies ...?

 

Simon my daughters have sensitive skin and dermatologist recommended Cetaphil used everyday in place of soap. It's not hugely expensive from chemist 500 ml pump

 

You can buy the bars at Woolworths and Bunnings, according to my quick google search.

 

This sounds like Fast Orange. Citrus based hand washes are very aggressive. Try something with a pumice base. I'll check the brand of ours tomorrow. I have to wash my hands like 40 times a day (getting to OCD levels, but required) with it. Best hand cleaner I've used in over 20 years in auto industry.
Sounds silly but coffee grinds work surprisingly well too!

 

We use this, dermaveem or qv oil too but in this instance it's not going to be good enough to get the dermeze grease off their hands.
So it needs to be something soap free and somewhere between this and auto mechanic soap which is going to be OTT for the issue I think.

 

Or maybe buy a big box online? Imperial Leather Handwash Kitchen Hands Lemongrass Antibacterial 250ml - Kogan.com

 

Yeh we use the Dermaveen soap free stuff. Works quite well,
Not sure on how well it will cut through a thick grease though.

 

Can you glove up for the application? Disposable gloves are cheap

 

You can get it from Bunnings too Sim. Block or liquid form.

Solvol

Edit - just saw that @Perp beat me to it.

 

I am susceptible to dermatitis too. When it was very bad, the only hand wash I could use was sorbelene cream. I had it quite badly when my children were little--very painful. The doctors then found that my pancreas doesn't break down the lactose in milk. Now, as long as I stay off dairy, I am mostly fine.

For greasy clothes, one cup of ammonia in the wash could be helpful. Ammonia (I believe) breaks down into mineral salts, so it doesn't leave nasty chemicals behind. Also, trying putting simply dishwashing detergent on the clothes before you wash them.

I love orange oil for removing sticky residue, but it is very strong. I react to it and it leaves my skin quite red. It even gets off polyurethane expanding foam from your skin. Just make sure to rinse it off completely.

 

This one is made by Johnson-Johnson ,kills bacteria without water,i think it was developed for professional hospital dental use,but it works..

 

70% ethanol - wow - you'd get drunk off that.

 

Might put a few drops in the next home brew stout i make..

 

Ok so we use Dreumex. Pumice based, my pick. Also use Wurth hand cleaner in a Fine form. Though the Wurth does have a slight citrus element.

 

@Simon Hampel Have your tried your local health care shop? They have a lot of natural hand washes, detergents etc with no alcohol or chemicals and suitable for dermatitis.
