Frequently Asked Questions

Is Swarfega safe for daily use?

Yes, Swarfega products are dermatologically tested and formulated for regular use by tradesmen who need to clean their hands multiple times daily. Modern Swarfega formulas contain moisturisers and skin conditioners to prevent drying, though following with a quality barrier cream is recommended for very frequent washing.

Which Swarfega product is best for removing oil and grease?

Swarfega Original and Swarfega Orange are specifically designed for heavy-duty oil and grease removal. Both contain natural scrubbing agents that lift ingrained dirt effectively. For lighter soiling, Swarfega Refresh foam formulas provide gentler cleansing with excellent grease-cutting performance.

Do I need water to use Swarfega?

Traditional Swarfega formulas work best when applied to dry hands, rubbed thoroughly, then rinsed with water. However, Swarfega also offers waterless wipes and spray cleaners for situations where water isn't readily available on job sites.
