I've found that before doing greasy mechanical work, if I squirt a bit
of diswashing detergent on my hands and rub them together, then wipe
them off, it leaves soap in the pores and makes it a whole lot easier
to get any further grime off them later that day.

That also works well when installing fiberglass insulation.




Pre-treatment with spray-on aniti-perspirant blocks the pores and helps
keep the glass strands from catching onto the skin in the first place.
