I have used gunk hand cleaner with Boraxo. Lately, I just use Palmolive dish and hand soap with a scrub brush. I always thought Lava stank too much for my delicate sensibilities. Sometimes solvents are the only option, or WD40 works pretty good, followed up with dish and hand soap. When solvent will only do, I re-hydrate my hands with Utter Butter utter cream.
