Swarfega Original Classic Hand Cleaner - 275ml by Deb

Das Zeug hält was es verspricht! Die Hände werden SAUBER - ohne, dass es sich nach Chemie anfühlt.

Nous ne nous sommes jamais passés de ce produit, car il est inestimable non seulement pour les mains, mais aussi pour l'élimination des graisses et des huiles sur les vêtements. Une seule précaution à prendre pour réussir à utiliser ce produit : ne pas introduire d'eau avant d'être certain que l'huile ou la graisse a été entièrement dissoute par le Swarfega. A chaque fois que j'ai proposé ce produit, j'ai dû empêcher les gens de se mouiller les mains avant de l'utiliser, si vous le faites, cela ne fonctionne pas.

Happy to order this from the UK! It was recommended as a gentle cleaner for vintage sewing machines, and it did not disappoint. Would definitely order again - thank you!

Swarfega is a bit of nostalgia for me! My dad used it when we were kids for cleaning our oil covered hands if we'd been messing with our bikes, and he always had it about for cleaning his own hands after dad-jobs. It also got stains out of clothing and marks of other items. When it arrived it was just as I remembered: a smell I always loved, and the beautiful green gel that somehow does this weird little 'vibration' in the pot! And it cleaned as it always did. However ... I bought it again to see if it could tackle a specific job; and it does! I have an Apple watch in yellow and my previous light coloured strap suffered from picking up stains - in particularly biro ink - and no matter what I tried (even having trawled the internet) nothing seemed to be able to clean it properly. So, I'd wondered about Swarfega ... and it cleans it beautifully, getting off all the grime (including ink, although sometimes you have to leave it on for a while). If you want to try it, firstly set your watch to exclude water (you're not going to wet the watch, but it just protects it). Then, take an old toothbrush and gently apply Swarfega to the strap with the brush; don't get it on the watch. If you've got a bad stain on the strap just leave it for a while with the Swarfega on it. Then, carefully rinse both parts of the strap (don't wet the watch) and wipe with a tissue/cloth ... your grime should be removed! Then, press the crown of the watch to run the expel water function and you're done. So, apart from the usual 'hand-cleaning' that Swarfega has always done brilliantly, it should hopefully help clean your watch strap! (**Do accept your own responsibility if you choose to try this: try a test spot in an area not visible first and accept this is like an internet recommendation - you do it at your own risk. Because it worked for me it may not for you).

I'm over 60 now so have used this since I was a kid helping my dad with car and workshop stuff. It's always done the job required, cleans off oil dirt and more. There's a bit of nostalgia in this product for me. If I smell it it takes me back to days long gone. Not sure if there's something nowadays that outperforms Swarfega original but the very fact that I've used it for over half a century and it's still available means a lot. It just works!
