Never realized that.

So is that the WD 40 companies claim to fame? Aerosol general purpose lubricant/cleaner/water displacer... and soap?

lol

The soap is aimed at the same people who use WD-40... mechanics and other people who get greasy hands.

Oh, I'm not.. we've had a bar of Lava in the house as long as I can remember.

My dad started using it in the 70s when he went and lived in the wilderness for 3 months. It was the only soap he could find that washed dishes well in cold water, and he's used it (to wash dishes) ever since.

I just never realized it was made by WD-40.. lol

Lava's okay, but I prefer the citrus based hand cleaners. Takes off nearly everything, and is less harsh.

GoJo orange pumice rocks. The only problem is I can't find anybody that sells the one gallon size for the wall mounted dispenser around here. I have to mail-order it. Luckily, I only use one container a year.

Yeah, I agree. The hand cleaners are better than just lava soap, they just make the grease melt away..

Lava still rocks for certain things though..

Why shocked? lol..

Drove his '62 VW Bug up into the Blue Mountains of Northeastern Oregon and camped out with his girlfriend of the time for 3-4 months in the early Spring of '74.

He brought a pound of weed, and quit smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and popping speed cold turkey. Says it was one of the best things he's ever done for himself.

Good times.. lol
