Product Features and Directions for Use
Dreumex Classic Hand Cleanser is a safe, effective hand cleaner for use on all types of skin and is unlikely to cause any problems with dry hands or dermatitis. It will deal with a wide range of oils and greases, quickly and effectively. Dreumex Classic melts rapidly under the influence of body heat and the liquid then easily penetrates the dirt and oils. Severe soiling by fibre-glass resins, or dirt under the nails, may require the use of a brush. Apply a small amount of Dreumex Classic to the hands and work in thoroughly using a rubbing action to loosen all oil and dirt residues and rinse away in warm water. Ensure hands are dried thoroughly after use.
