Ryonet sells this stuff.. Its from CCI.. Its a handwash.. It's good!! It doesnt get it out from around your fingernails and stuff but, it does do wonders!! It has pumice (I do believe) in it.. It works great!! A good alternative to always wearing rubber gloves.

One brand name soap is called lava, but there are other good soaps too - a liquid soap with a grit in it will clean you up quick. You can also get a stiff hand brush - it's rough to scrub your hand with one, but it does the job and even gets ink out behind your nails and such.

For a quick easy hand cleaner sprayway make a product called crazy cleans. its actually disposable scrub sheets for your hands. It works pretty well on getting plastisol ink off you clothes too.

I agree with the others.
Also, ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES when cleaning!
There's a lot of chemicals in use and they will cause you damage if you don't take precautions.
Good luck with your venture

Wear gloves, but I totally agree on the CCI handcleaner. It smells a lot better than the orange stuff too!

Buy the CCI handwash. Gojo's pumps are often crappy and you have to manually scrape out the last 25% of the container. Also, Nazdar sells these new things called "Ultimate Clean Up Cards." They are cheap and an easy way to keep ink from getting on your hands in the first place. We just got some at the shop this week and I haven't worn gloves since.

Jenn, been doing this for 20 years, get the cleaners from your ink suppliers.
they cost a bit more but save you time and money in the long run. John

i spray just the smallest amount of ink remover, that I use on the screens, onto my hands and rub it around and then wipe it off and then wash my hands with regular soap to get the remover off.

I would have to agree the orange lotions from auto supply stores work amazing. I don't even use water. I keep a large jug next to the press and a rag. Check my hands regularly and if the need arises a few squirts and rag off. Bingo I'm ready to go.
