A while back, okay almost 20 years ago, a friend worked at Jorgenson Steel in Denver.? You know how that mill oil on steel is...?? He and I and a roommate started a floor cleaning business and did the floors there at night.? They had a hand cleaner in the locker rooms that from what I recall was a green powder, not a liquid, and it worked with or without water and did not leave your hands slippery, greasy or stinky at all.? I'd forgotten about it until recently and cannot recall the name but it was amazing.? Anyone have any ideas on what it might be and if it's even still made?? It was not a typical household brand, more like an industrial supply type product you'd never see on a store shelf.
I see Mean Green that looks like a crumbly paste, but it looks different.? Any ideas?

I believe you are referring to MP7. I believe it is now called Green Clean.

Hope this helps.

Green Clean is the name of a face cream but if you type in Green Clean MP7 you get a link to handcleanexpress.com.? The downside is 21 pounds of it is $345.00!? (About $16.00 a pound) But they will sell you a sample for only $5.00.
I use Boraxo Powdered Hand Soap but that does require water.

Sadly, Boraxo powdered hand soap has been discontinued.
If you want any of the last of it, check Amazon or ebay and
gasp at the prices being asked. Apparently there aren't enough of us old-timers to keep the
product's sales afloat.?

I believe this was used by a local LARGE machine shop and a heavy equipment outfit I had dear with as well ?

The Greenclean looks very similar to what I remember (for whatever that's worth) and I ordered their sample pack of the three products to try.? Shipping was more than the $12 sample pack!? Once I get my work area slab in front of the shed/shop done and a roof over it, I am looking at installing a laundry sink out there anyway.? Already ran pex partway over there.

Yeah, have used what we call Agent Orange for years and years.? It works well but I was looking for the other product.? I did buy some stuff at O'Reillys called Joe's that also works very well and can be used without water.

I keep a tube of waterless GoJo in my truck. It wipes off well.

Zep "Cherry Bomb" is my current favorite.?? Use it like a waterless hand cleaner, and then rinse it off. If you wet your hands first, it doesn't stick well enough, and most of it just goes down the sink.? Smells nice, and seems to really get the grease out of the pores. I don't tend to like waterless cleaners - they leave a strong chemical smell behind.? ? -Tom ?

In a pinch use clean motor oil. ?Follow up with clean rag then regular soap and water. ? ?I’m sure it’s toxic and whatnot but it sure works good. ?Glycerin hand lotion works also. ??

For years I used Goop as it does not contain any abrasives leaving my skin less chapped. It's a product made by Critzas Industries in St. Louis, MO. For a while it was hard to find until Harbor Freight started carrying it again. You start it out without water just rubbing your your hands and once it gets runny with grime it's easy to rinse off. For years my favorite pumice based hand cleaner was Lava which I used for any remaining post Goop hard to remove stains on my skin. It is almost impossible to find any more, at least for reasonable cost. It used to be made by Lever Bros but since some other manufacturer took over and jacked up the cost. Fast Orange is effective for cleaning hands but the abrasive is very coarse, almost sand like so I only use it when my hands are extremely grungy.

I use dawn with boraxo.? Put some dawn on, then a hit from the push type boraxo powder dispenser.? Works great with warm water.

My preference is for Goop as well. Seems to be milder on the hands and just effective. I've never cared for the soaps that have abrasives. Always seemed to me they took off more skin than grime.

I buy zep “Wild Cherry” at Walmart, abrasive as well but seems to work better than the orange product.
