Do any servicing or maintenance on your bicycle, and unless you don a pair of nitrile gloves first, you'll end up with hands covered in oil and grime. Muc-Off's Nano Grit Hand Cleaner suspends tiny grit in a paraben-free formula that effortlessly cleans hands.
To use it doesn't feel quite as aggressive as Swarfega, but does work at least as well. Muc-Off have included conditioners to look after your skin, and it leaves a not unpleasant scent on your hands after washing. They haven't used any nasty chemicals to produce it, so people with sensitive skin should be just fine.
The large tub lasts for ages, you only need a small scoop for well oiled hands. The vivid pink nicely echoes the company's trademark colour, and the smell emanating from the opened tube isn't at all offensive or overly strong.
The 500ml tub is good value for money. I've been using it frequently for the past few weeks and my hands still feel, well the same as they did before. Only now it's far easier to scrub the oil and dirt off my hands after I've been tinkering with the bike in the garage. It's far easier than trying to scrub hands clean with a brush and bar of soap.
Verdict
Effective hand cleaner for the home mechanic.

Carex and caster sugar does
Carex and caster sugar does the same as this for a fraction of the price. You just have to combine the two as and when required.
If you use the cream moisturising types, you’ll have lovely clean soft hands and you get a choice of what you smell like.
Absolutely, works like magic
Absolutely, works like magic jack! Though I prefer fairy as it soapier helps if you got really dirty hands.
I use my own brand of hand
I use my own brand of hand cleaner – used coffee grinds and washing up liquid. It does exactly the same thing and is far less expensive.
Tried and proven Swarfega
Tried and proven Swarfega Heavy Duty Hand Cleasner is half the price of this … Muc-Off are good, but uncompetitive. Something that works even better on tough dirt is Cif Cream … just wash your hands with Cif to remove the tough dirt (if required) and follow with soap … removes grime better than any hand cleaner.
