Good cleanliness and hygiene is important for the efficient operation of any bodyshop and 3M is a company that is leading the way in this sector with practical high quality products.

New to the market is a heavy-duty hand cleaner made from natural ingredients aimed at bodyshop operatives requiring a deep clean that’s gentle on hands.
Natural Heavy Duty Hand Cleaner by 3M effectively removes ingrained dirt, oil and grease, as well as paint residue and inks in one wash. The cleaner contains zeolites, soft volcanic minerals that attract and trap dirt making it easy to rinse away, as well as active natural plant surfactants. These ingredients provide a thorough clean without stripping natural oils from skin, meaning it doesn’t dry out hands and removes the need to use an additional moisturiser after washing.

Available as a wall-mounted dispenser with 2kg refills, a 4kg bag-in-box system or a 4.75kg portable Jerry can with pump, the cleaner is quick and convenient to use. Jason Halliwell of 3M says, “We’ve conducted extensive trials with customers who have praised the moisturising qualities of the cleaner, as well as its ability to remove all types of contaminant from paint to grease.”

3M also offer two convenient hand wipe products.  These wipes are pre-impregnated with a specially formulated cleanser which will remove common bodyshop soils such as oil, wet or dried paint, grease, grime, ink and adhesives. Smooth on both sides, the Professional Handwipes leave hands clean and moisturised and have an anti-bacterial agent for additional long-lasting protection in the work environment.

The wipes are also available in a heavy duty version with a textured surface on one side that provides a scrubbing action for the removal of harsher dirt and stains.

The Professional Handwipes and the Heavy Duty Textured Handwipes from 3M contain 150 and 100 handwipes per tub respectively and are available in packs of four tubs. The tubs are distinctively designed for easy selection, with the Professional version in red, silver and blue and the Heavy Duty in orange, black and red.
