Yes, I love tools!
No, I’m not a guy…
Of my husband and I, I’ve always been the mechanically inclined half. He handles the yard work, the litter box, the heavy lifting and reaching high things, and I do the tech-y things, the cooking, and build and fix stuff. In fact, my wedding shower had a power tool theme! I got so many awesome gifts. He would likely be appalled at the thought of being covered with grease…or engine oil…or anything like that. I’m perfectly fine with it and can tune up a lawn mower with the best of them. Fortunately, I have Dawn dish soap to thank for the super easy clean up of both me and my tools.
Make quick work of those messy jobs with a little Dawn and some hot water.
Wheels and Tires:
-
To remove grease and oil from car or bike wheels, add a teaspoon of Dawn to a gallon of hot water.
-
Dip a soft sponge into the bucket, and squeeze out any excess suds and water.
-
Scrub those hubs until all grease has been removed from the metal surface.
-
Rinse with clean warm water, and dry with a soft towel*.
Check out the difference in the left and right sides of my hubcap. Sparkly clean with very little effort!
You’ll get the same awesome results with your tools!
Greasy Tools
-
Add a teaspoon of Dawn to a gallon of hot water.
-
With a dishrag or sponge, scrub away the grease and oil (do not soak hand tools*).
-
When clean, thoroughly rinse them under running water and dry them with a towel right away.
* Soaking could lead to etching on certain materials.

I guess my hardest tool to clean are my garden tools. They take a beating. My hand trowel gets the biggest work out. I will say that is the tool that is my hardest to keep clean.

My hardest tools to clean are my hands after I have been working on a greasy motor. Dawn does great on them too.

I’m not sure about hardest tool to clean because with my Dawn everything is easier to clean.
For me, I guess the hardest tools to clean are my garden tools. They get pretty grimy & cruddy looking!
One of our hardest tools to clean is hubbys car tools, they get greasy when he works on the car an they are messy, we use Dawn to keep them clean and fresh now he wishes the car would quit needing work…brakes are next.

Greasy wrenches are hard to clean.
I hate cleaning my can opener. Not exactly a tool, but there are so many nooks and crannies, often greasy.
Oh I would have to say the hardest tool for me to clean would be the pooper scooper shovel! lol
i have to say my painting tools … brushes , bucket etc and my Son in Law Truck/Car Tools
