Default What is your favorite hand cleaner?

We are almost moved into the new shop, and I made sure the hand cleaner dispensers from our old shop just happened to disappear....

I want to go with Cherry Bomb by Zep. I've used it a few times before and I really liked it.

What is your favorite hand cleaner? I'm tired of orange scent and my hands are so dried out they are cracking and bleeding. Any suggestions? Pro and cons please!

Simple Green hand cleaner works ok. It does have pumice in it, but it's not as harsh as the orange Gojo. I tried regular Gojo, but it slimes up the sink really bad. So Simple Green it was.

Tide powder works great but its not real nice if you have fresh cuts/gouges on your hands.

If you are not looking for a bulk dispenser I am supplying my field techs with Dynatex. It can be used with or without water, no pumice and it doesn't seem to leave a oily residue like most waterless. This stuff comes in a 15oz. bottle and kind of smells like bubblegum.

If you are looking for bulk and like the Cherry Bomb, I believe that Permatex is making M80, smells and works like Cherry Bomb. Uses the same dispenser but a lot better price.

Is it in a white bottle and green dispenser? I believe that stuff is called Kresto and its made in Germany.
