Brush and dawn dish soap. Gojo or another hand cleaner with an abrasive. Also know that grease can stain your hands and if so you won't get it off because there's nothing to get off anymore. Hope you aren't a chef.

D-lead works really well. It's cleaned my hands spotless after being soaked in hydraulic fluid, grease, and dirt.

Hand wash the dishes in the sink. Your hands will be clean.
Use dishwashing soap, Dawn as mentioned above. Warm soapy water. Let your hands soak for 5 or 10 minutes. Scrub, rinse. Clean. Should get the grease under the nails as well. |

If all else fails KOH (potassium hydroxide) dilute solution then follow it up with an acid to deactivate the solution acetic acid(vinegar) works. It will get into your cuticles and under your nails and break down the grease. Many times your spray degreasers will have potassium hydroxide in them and they work well.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dawn. Yea, dish soap and a sponge for scrubbing is good in a pinch. However, I’ve become partial to wearing latex gloves. Even latex under a nice mechanic oriented work glove is great too. |

Pro tip, before greasy work begins, rub hands with Dawn like you would with lotion. Let it dry. Makes grease removal easier.

I occasionally use mineral spirits to get nasty stuff off of my hands on job sites. Soak your hands with it, scrub, then wash hands well with soap and water afterwards.
Downside is it can dry your hands out a bit, but nothing too extreme. |

If you don't have any Goop, GoJo, orange stuff, etc. handy, try hand lotion.
Next time you work on a greasy thing, apply hand lotion before you touch the grease. It makes cleaning up a whole lot easier. |

I have a bar of Lava and a bottle of Gojo. Between them, they have always worked. Might need a stiff brush of some kind to get stuff from around your fingernails.

Time is the only thing I've found to be 100% effective, especially when dealing with nastiness that's been cut with a solvent. That shit gets into every crack and crevice on my hands.

Pro tip, using Dawn for grease removal will lead to dermatitis. Don’t do this ^^^^^ We had guys in the shop wash their arms and hands every day with Dawn. They all ended up with dermatitis. It sucks all the oils out of your skin. |

It makes cleaning up a whole lot easier. I was thinking about using a vegetable oil before hand. Lotion ought to work - that really thick stuff for badly cracked hands should be good. Maybe I should just get better gloves, too. No shit I am scraping at it with a pocketknife blade and it's not working. |
