If your hands look like you’ve been rebuilding a carburetor bare-fisted, you’re in the right place.

We’ve all been there. So we put together a no-BS guide on how to actually get your hands clean.

Whether you’re covered in grease, engine sludge, or mystery shop goo, here’s how to win the war.

→ WD-40 (Seriously)

Spray it on, rub it in, wipe it off, then wash.

This old-school trick loosens oil and grime like a champ.

Bonus: You probably already have some lying around.

→ Baby Oil or Olive Oil

Oil vs. oil? Sounds backward, but it works.

Rub in a small amount, let it sit, then scrub with soap. It cuts through grease without cutting up your skin.
