Are your hands very dirty after a day of DIY or gardening?
In general, the first instinct is to wash them quickly with soap.
But watch out!
Washing your hands too often with dry soap can in the long term damage them and make them rough .
Not to mention that not all stains disappear!
Fortunately, my grandmother has an economical and very effective trick for washing her hands.
The very simple trick is to replace your classic soap with baking soda. Watch:
1. Moisten your hands.
2. Take baking soda in your hands.
3. Rub them gently.
4. Rinse your hands.
There you go, your hands are now perfectly clean :-)
You will thus find very soft and very clean hands in a few seconds.
However, be careful not to abuse this washing technique because the bicarbonate is quite abrasive. Use it 3 times a week at most.
Kitchen, garden, DIY or public transport, we always find a way to get our hands dirty!
If you get your hands dirty daily, use liquid black soap.
