Girlie tip of the day

When you've been working on your bike, get the grime off your hands with exfoliating facial scrub! Then you don't smell like swarfega for the rest of the day... you smell like apricots instead

Any of those cleansers that contain the little scrubby beads or ground-up scrubby stuff would do. I used Dove "gentle exfoliating daily facial cleanser" and it worked really well (it's also not too expensive and available at the supermarket.)

Washing your hair will degrease that little bit left on your hands too...

Works really well and often cleans under the fingernails.

But wouldn't it leave a nasty chickeny residue?

I have several pairs of gloves for different bike jobs: latex, vinyl, and mechanics glubs. But I often can't be bothered using them so I get growled at.

Or you could try dishwashing liquid and sugar - works a treat!

Jif or washing (clothes) powder, are scented as well ...

The trick with Jif is to wet your hands, place a small bit on your hand, wipe in until dry then add a dribble of water then it really soaps up and gets the stubborn dirt off, then wash off.

Don't get either in your eyes
