Sometimes, I find it very difficult to clean up my hands after

seem to work very well. Is there anything better. A powder or
different soap or whatever.

Thanks

back in my mechanic days, my magic formula was a paste of Borax (NOT
boraxo) and Ajax dishwashing liquid, used with a hand brush. I'd
follow that with a small amount of vaseline. It got my hands clean and
the vaseline kept the skin intact - without it, my skin got so dry it
would crack.

I'll second the brush. I find using a small brush more important than
the kind of soap. If I know ahead of time that I'll be getting my hands
really dirty I'll set out a ~5 gallon bucket of water, my brush and bar
of soap. By the time I'm done the water is warm and the mess I always
end up making, washing my hands and arms will be outside not
in.

A small brush similar to these:

Some sort of hand cream/lotion is a must too, especially after using a
brush...
