Deb Solopol Lime comes in a 2 litre cartridge compatible with SC Johnson’s 2 litre manual dispensers. Whether you are cleansing your hands of dirt and grease after a long day of work or have to clean your hands regularly during the working day, you want to be using something that cares for your skin, not damaging it like some cleaners.

Solopol Lime is made without the use of solvents and uses natural cornmeal as a scrubbing and exfoliating agent to remove ingrained dirt without harming the skin, with the added advantage that this is fully biodegradable, with no microplastics in sight.

Solopol Lime is also created with skin conditioner and moisturiser as part of the formula.

What are the differences between light, medium and heavy duty hand cleansers?

Different types of dirt and grease have different levels of difficulty to remove, with how long the skin has been in contact with the substances also having an impact.

Heavier duty hand cleaners are designed for more ‘hard set’ dirt and substances, such as used car oil or soot, which are more likely to stain.

So why not just use a heavy duty cleaner every time? While heavy and medium duty hand cleaners are designed to minimise damage to the skin, excessive use, especially where scrubbing is needed, may cause some irritation over time. The best way to care for hands is to use the lowest duty hand cleaner that will do the job each time, and to use soap or hand wash where appropriate.

Are Hand Cleaners only for Industrial Environments?

Deb’s Medium Duty Hand Cleaner, and others in the range, are designed for heavy duty work environments, but that doesn’t just mean manufacturing and workshops. Janitorial staff and cleaning staff often need to get their hands dirty when doing a deep clean of a kitchen or food manufacturing area, for example.

Tradespeople such as plumbers, roofers and electricians often keep a heavy or medium duty cleaner to hand in their vans to clean up after a dirty job, such as working in older homes, lofts and cellars, for example.
