Workshop soaps differ from conventional soaps in their unique formulation, specially designed to meet the demands of professional environments. These products incorporate specific components that give them superior cleansing properties while preserving the integrity of the skin.

The composition of these soaps generally includes powerful surfactants capable of effectively dissolving grease and oil . Some formulations also contain microbeads or natural abrasives that facilitate the removal of even the most stubborn dirt. Long-established manufacturers such as Deb, STOKO, and Arma, now all three part of the SC Johnson group, have been developing comprehensive product lines for years to meet various professional requirements.
We can cite as examples historical products such as Arma paste soap, Swarfegat or Suprega soap and the Solopol and Kresto lines which have made hundreds of thousands of users satisfied to have an adequate solution.

What is a workshop soap?

Workshop soap, also called industrial soap or workshop soap, is a hygiene product specially formulated for deep cleaning heavily soiled hands in professional environments . Unlike conventional soaps, it has enhanced degreasing and cleaning power to effectively remove grease and oil, grime, paint, glues and resins, metallic dust, and stubborn industrial dirt.

Its composition is designed to offer powerful cleansing while protecting the skin from the harsh effects of frequent washing . Its formula typically 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
The workshop soap comes in different forms: gel, cream, paste or liquid.

Hand drying in the workshop should not be neglected!

After using a workshop soap, it will of course be imperative to put in place a hand-drying solution for users.
The most common solution is the hand towel dispenser with a single-use paper hand towel.
You can also opt for industrial chamois -type wiping rolls installed on a wall-mounted or floor-mounted dispenser , or even a mobile one.
The last option is the installation of an electric hand dryer, preferably with forced air, while taking into account the number of users.

Why choose a workshop soap rather than a classic soap?

Context-related advantages

From the moment your core business is closely or remotely connected to a dirty industry such as a garage, a mechanical workshop, a printing company, a construction industry... the solution of specific soap with or without microbeads but specially formulated for your environment is essential.
Thanks to its specific formula, this workshop soap quickly and effectively removes even the most stubborn, ingrained dirt. Its degreasing power allows for deep cleaning of heavily soiled hands without excessive scrubbing. It therefore offers enhanced cleaning power compared to traditional soap.
Despite its powerful cleansing action, Atelier soap preserves the skin's natural balance. Its emollient and moisturizing agents counteract the drying effect of frequent washing, thus limiting the risk of irritation and chapping. It therefore protects the skin's epidermis by taking into account the conditions and frequency of use.
The effectiveness of workshop soap allows for quick hand cleaning , reducing washing time. This represents a significant time saving and therefore a considerable increase in productivity in a professional setting.
Some workshop soaps contain antiseptic agents that effectively eliminate germs in addition to 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 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 - Use a protective cream during work to reduce the need for hand washing
2 - Wear disposable or reusable gloves appropriate for your activity. It should be noted that glove manufacturers have made significant progress in this area, offering specific disposable mechanical gloves in black or orange.

Workshop soap: frequently asked questions

Will a workshop soap be suitable for my skin?

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

Soap with or without microbeads?

Microbeads enhance the mechanical cleaning action, making them ideal for stubborn dirt. However, for frequent use or on sensitive skin, opt for formulas without microbeads. SC Johnson, with the integration of the Deb and STOKO ranges, now offers a wide selection of microbead-free soaps with comparable effectiveness. You will, however, need to choose a cartridge system, as this is where the selection is most comprehensive.
