What is a workshop soap?

Workshop soap, also known as industrial soap or workshop soap, is a hygiene product specially formulated to thoroughly clean very dirty hands in professional environments . Unlike conventional soaps, it has enhanced degreasing and cleaning power to effectively remove grease and oils, sludge, paints, glues and resins, metal dust and stubborn industrial dirt.

Its composition is designed to provide powerful cleansing while protecting the skin from the damage caused by frequent washing . Its formula generally contains:

Powerful surfactants to remove dirt
Emollient and moisturizing agents to protect the epidermis
Microbeads or gentle exfoliating agents for deep cleansing
Antiseptic ingredients in some cases
Workshop soap comes in different forms: gel, cream, paste or liquid.

Hand drying in the workshop should not be neglected!

After using workshop soap, it is essential to set up a hand drying solution for users.
The most common solution is the hand towel dispenser with a single-use paper towel.
You can also opt for industrial chamois type wiping reels placed on a wall or floor-mounted or even mobile reel .
The last option is to install an electric hand dryer, preferably with forced air, while taking into account the volume of users.

Why choose a workshop soap rather than a classic soap?

Context-related advantages

From the moment your core business is directly or indirectly linked to a dirty industry such as a garage, a mechanical workshop, a printing works, a construction industry, etc., the solution of a specific soap with or without microbeads but specially formulated for your environment is essential.
Thanks to its specific formulation, the workshop soap quickly and effectively removes even the toughest dirt, even encrusted ones. Its degreasing power allows for deep cleaning of very dirty hands without excessive scrubbing. It therefore offers enhanced activity compared to traditional soap.
Despite its powerful cleansing action, the workshop soap preserves skin balance. Its emollient and moisturizing agents offset the drying effect of frequent washing, thus limiting the risk of irritation and chapping. It therefore preserves the skin's epidermis by taking into account the conditions and repetition of use.
The effectiveness of workshop soap allows for quick hand cleaning , reducing the time spent washing. This represents a significant time saving and therefore productivity gain in a professional context.
Some workshop soaps incorporate antiseptic agents that effectively eliminate germs as well as dirt. This helps improve overall hygiene in the workplace.
The different textures and packaging of workshop soaps adapt to the specific needs of each work environment: cans with pump for workshops, cartridges for wall-mounted dispensers , individual pots for construction sites, etc.

Do you prefer to limit the use of workshop soap?

To limit the use of soap and thus reduce the frequency of hand washing, there are two options:
1 - Have a protective cream during work which will reduce the need for hand washing
2 - Wearing disposable or durable gloves that are appropriate for your job. It should be noted that glove manufacturers have made significant progress in this area, offering disposable gloves specifically for mechanics in black or orange.

Soap workshop frequently asked questions

Will a workshop soap be suitable for my skin?

Most workshop soaps are formulated to suit all skin types. However, if you have very sensitive skin or dermatological problems, it's best to choose products specifically designed for fragile skin. For example, some offer a formula enriched with vitamin E and emollients and containing wheat germ oil.

Soap with or without microbeads?

Microbeads enhance the mechanical cleaning action, making them ideal for stubborn stains. However, for frequent use or on sensitive skin, opt for formulas without microbeads. SC Johnson, with the addition of the Deb and STOKO ranges, now offers a wide range of microbead-free soaps with comparable effectiveness. However, you should opt for a cartridge system, as these systems offer the most comprehensive range.
