Please help me! I was cleaning tools and pots. I found that soaking in dishwasher granules works great. I stupidly bought a granule bar, and used it with my hands to scrub. Now no matter what I do (wash and dry) the skin on my hands is completely sticky! Nothing gets it off. Help! So far I have tried soap, Goop Off liquid version, carpet spot cleaner and hydrogen peroxide. Is there somebody out there that works with glue or tools or something that can tell me: How do I get this sticky stuff off? I'm going nuts! Thanks! Signed, the cure is worse than the problem :-( ......

Great, now your keyboard is sticky too, LOL! Seriously, try butter or maybe oil, then wash with regular bar soap. If that doesn't work, there is a product that is called Fast Orange that you'd be able to buy at any hardware store, or problably Wal-Mart. But then you'd have to drive there and your steering wheel would get all sticky, and you'd have to ask the cashier to get your wallet out of your pants for you. . . !

The best sticky stuff remover I have run across is called 'goo-gone' it smells like oranges (overpoweringly so) but it takes off sticky stuff from stickers without damaging paint or finish. It can take gum out of clothing/upholstery. It's fairly cheap, and most stores carry it.
For washing your hands - get some mechanic hand cleaner like gojo or fast orange, they have grit in them to get the worst of the grease off, and leave your hands smooth and unsticky.

Spray some glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol onto your hands and rub it in all over, then rinse off with plain water. Both will cut the sticky substance, the alcohol will burn if you have a scratch on your hand

Garages & mechanics always seem to use Swarfega (a stubby red pot with a black lid).
It's a green gel like stubstance.
Your local big supermarket should carry it, failing that, try a branch of Halfords.
And if it's good enough for mechanics...!
