Extreme Green Power Hand Scrub, 16 oz Jar (Formerly Mean Green) - Removes Oil, Grease, Dirt, Filth without Harsh Chemicals

My son has habitually dirty hands even though he washes regularly. He is a tow truck driver and his hands are a ness. This is the first time in years his hands are not stained and dirty. This stuff works!

Works great

I most say i tried everything this stuff works great, i do mechanic on cars and hvac aswell it takes everything off. Only thing is your gonna need a nail brush aswell to get underneath the nails but this is the best soap just have your hands wet, and it feels so gritty.

I use this everytime I do yardwork, It may be for mechanics, but it does a great job of eliminating oils left by poison ivy.

Every time I use this to scrub down I don't get poison ivy...the times when I think I can get away with the scrub down I tend to get it

Five stars for treating poison ivy. It was the most affordable of the three products that worked best for controlling symptoms of poison ivy. The other two were Zanfel and topical Triamcinolone 0.025% (prescription strength). I also tried hydrocortisone, both prescription and OTC - it was less effective. I did not try OTC Triamcinolone.Effectiveness compared to Zanfel:Both Mean Green and Zanfel provided immediate and lasting relief from itching. To compare them I applied Mean Green to one affected area and Zanfel to another. Mean Green provided somewhat better relief, but in hind side I realized that I may have used less Zanfel than Mean Green. Zanfel is 50 times more expensive, so I was stingy with its applicationEffectiveness compared to Triamcinolone:Both Mean Green and Triamcinolone provided 5-6 hours of relief. Mean Green acted immediately, Triamcinolone took 10-15 minutes to start working. Mean Green provided slightly better relief. Triamcinolone relieved itching, but the skin still felt sensitive to the touch. With Mean Green the skin felt just smoother than usual.Availability:Zanfel and Triamcinolone were readily available in the local pharmacy. I could not find Mean Green in a local store, so I had to wait for the Amazon delivery.Convenience:To apply Mean Green or Zanfel you pretty much have to be in a shower. You may be able to apply them over a sink if only your hands or forearms are affected. Triamcinolone is much easier and faster to apply. This matters if you wake up from itching in the middle of the night or if you need relief from itching at work.Other:Using Mean Green and Triamcinolone together provided the longest lasting relief - enough to sleep through the night.Does it actually cure poison ivy?Not from my experience. The itch would always return 5-6 hours later, and I still have some redness and itching 3 weeks after the first symptoms appeared. Mean Green is a cleaner so one would expect that it works by removing poison ivy from your skin, and should therefore speed up the recovery. However I did not observe this, I even suspect that the mechanism of action is different - for example Mean Green seemed to work for eczema itching.

I’ve used this for years especially for poison ivy and now these durn GA fire ant bites. Ordering another as I’ve shared my first one with several people who were needing. It’s the only thing so far to stop my fire ant itching.

I have had poison ivy for 3 weeks now, and I've used every kind of cream and salve and lotion available (including prescription strength) as well as a round of steroids, and I STILL have this horrendously itchy, patchy red rash all down my legs. Nothing gave me relief from the itch, and I would wake up at least twice a night scratching at it. I had read about this scrub and all the positive reviews for how well this helped poison ivy. I was desperate and decided to try it anyway, even tho my rash is 3 weeks old and the plant oil is long gone.Listen, I didn't expect much, but this stuff is shockingly good - I scrubbed my legs down for a good minute or two while in the shower with about a quarter sized dollop and the itch was GONE as soon as I rinsed. The rash looked angry red right out of the shower (of course it would, you just scrubbed at it for a couple minutes) but a little while later it's calmed down a lot - the bumpy rough texture has also smoothed out noticeably! It's slightly drying, but that's what you want for a rash.I think this would have been super effective at removing the plant oil if I had used it right at the start, but if you currently are suffering from weeks old poison ivy rash and haven't found anything else to help, I HIGHLY recommend using this. I'll edit my review after a few days of using this product to give a final verdict, but so far I am really pleased.Edit: I'm now several weeks out from the initial contact and my rash is all but healed, this stuff is an absolute lifesaver.
