Default BEST HAND CLEANER FOR LEAD AND POWDER REMOVAL

After a few blood tests that showed a slightly elevated lead level I decided I would be more through washing my hands after a shooting or reloading session. I tried about a half dozen hand cleaners like GoJo, Lava, Goop, etc. and discovered that the old standby, 20 Mule Team Boraxo Hand Soap still beats them all out. It does a fantastic job removing all lead and powder residue as well as grease, oil, paint, etc.

Boraxo is a little difficult to find in the stores these days, but I found that they sell it on Restock-it.com in a five pound cardboard box for around $8.00. I still have some of the older round containers that used to be sold in the stores and have been refilling them with a funnel. GREAT GREAT product and is also available in Heavy Duty version if you REALLY get dirty. Just thought I'd pass this along...........
