So every time I do heavy work in the garden I am left with hands, forarms, and chest (I usually work without my shirt on since it's plenty warm in there) all sticky. My usual routine is to wash my hands with a Brillo pad doused with rubbing alcohol and then regular handsoap. This still leaves my hands a little tacky at the end though! For my body the only thing I can really do is take a shower. I use a shower puff thing to vigorously scrub my chest and arms with Dr. Bronners. peppermint soap. It works pretty well.
Forever I've been looking in local stores for liquid Lava hand soap. I purchased it one time years and years ago and only saw it again once ever (it was actually in somebodies house who I found out later was a grower too). Today I finally found the Lava bar soap and bought some of it so I could at least try that out. I'll report back on how well that works.
So what routine do you guys use for removing the stickyness that I'm sure we all deal with? Another person told me to use gasoline, which I haven't tried yet but I imagine would work well also. I am trying to stay away from the more volatile stuff like iso or gas for the day to day work, although I see nothing wrong with them for end-cycle harvest days. The thing is I'm fooling around in my garden on a daily basis and don't like to dry the shit out of my hands and get a face full of fumes more than necessary.
