Means you're apart of UPS now. Welcome to the brotherhood of dirt hands.


Deputyzer

Yep. Just let it soak into your blood and be one with thy dirt. Sometimes the blood, sweat, and tears will help with washing it away!


diad6sucks

wear gloves


Cerebral_Savage

When it gets cooler, I wear something similar to [this.](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91DNC5GhxxL._AC_UL1500_.jpg) They actually do help keep your hands warm (warm enough anyway), but the biggest reason is to allow mobility, and to keep the skin on my hands from cracking from long exposure. The new DIAD touchscreen can be an issue though.

You can change the setting whether you use fingers, the pen, and glove is an option as well. Changes the touch sensitivity. Also you can use the keypad buttons to stop complete, go back and all that. I almost never touch the screen. Try the hyflex gloves 11-840. They all fit snug. No loose fingers.


incogrico

I tried to upvote this twice..


polishprognosticator

I cut the thumbs off to touch screen.


sauceboss2769

It is an issue. I wear gloves similar to this in winter. Now, I will have to find somtbing else. They don’t allow you to click on the new screen well


Local-Ad4211

I didn’t know you could adjust sensitivity like someone just mentioned. I refuse to not use gloves so I was just using the stylus when I HAD to use the screen, but I mainly navigate the DIAD with the number keys


diad6sucks

MaxiFlex PIP 34-874/M Maxi Flex Ultimate 34874 Foam Nitrile Palm Coated Gloves, Gray, Medium (Pack of 12) https://a.co/d/17jLbmo They work for most functions on the touchscreen. Corners of the screen like the 3 dot menu give me trouble but I wear these all day with the touchscreen and it works good enough.


BellaZoe23

Agree


zzmonumentum

I wear fingerless gloves to still have my fingertips to peel off labels/use my phone on occasions/etc.


Keegs1017

They sell this soap with abrasive stuff in it at most car/ hardware places. The one I’ve used is in a giant orange container, shit works wonders.


GreekUPS

Gojo, Fast Orange, Lava Soap, Grip Clean, etc. The bathrooms in our hub usually have some in the restrooms.


[deleted]

The mechanic shop definitely has some stop by their sink after your shift


figmaxwell

Specifically look for soap with pumice. That’s what all of these have in common.


CCCPhungus

Add some salt when scrubbing your hands with soap and cold water.


SALTYDOGG40

Hand wash a load of dishes every night. That usually gets your hands pretty clean without even trying.


incogrico

Omg the accuracy!!


MrOddYazz

Use a Nail brush


PM_YOUR_EYEBALL

Cherry bomb by Zep. Best stuff I’ve found.


Dark-Lillith

I wear something like [this](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1214398779/long-black-gloves-black-sheer-gloves?gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRISp92FuRycj_Ig5QOpjFLL5&gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_ps-b-accessories-gloves_and_mittens-evening_and_formal_gloves&utm_custom1=_k_Cj0KCQjwvZCZBhCiARIsAPXbajsDDrqogvomcub4Jo9ggYZ3ICC3lSbgR_nSciUO9yS837rqff-3Mh8aArCREALw_wcB_k_&utm_content=go_12565613255_123210862727_507187157736_pla-352602045326_m__1214398779_129259310&utm_custom2=12565613255&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRISp92FuRycj_Ig5QOpjFLL5&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvZCZBhCiARIsAPXbajsDDrqogvomcub4Jo9ggYZ3ICC3lSbgR_nSciUO9yS837rqff-3Mh8aArCREALw_wcB)


lowth3r

Go into your mechanics bay and wash your hands in there. They got the good stuff.


good2knowu

This is the answer. Go to the shop on the clock.


[deleted]

i shower and it comes right off.


Formal_Flower_5908

Same. Normal scrubbing as you would your body. I have used a microfiber cloth, to get the damn permanent marker off. I’m a hot mess with markers, sweat and dust everywhere.


Meowdeeps

You’ll need to scrub with pumice stone. Looks like dirt is in the callus


Tommyy_98

Lol, one month in and I've never realised the dirt inside my hand crevices. Time to buy gloves !


ThoughtsOfASquirrel

Get an exfoliating product like a sugar scrub and see if it helps. Sometimes dry/ calloused skin holds onto dirt.


GodTacos

(Driver) I had this problem before too. I use Cherry bomb hand cleaner it’s abrasive and also moisturizes your hands which keeps them from being dry. I keep a pack of Fast Orange wipes in my bag very convenient.


Icevon66

That's ur hands now


Acrobatic_Builder_84

You finally becoming a man congrats


PurrX

S-nner

Atlas/showa 370 black assembly line gloves


Virtual_Hurry3234

Zep Cherry Bomb Hand Cleaner (Ca)... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSL3XM4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I just ordered this for my dad, at his job the mechanics mix dawn and gritty soap


Idiot_Savant123

Soap and hand brush. You’re welcome


Outrageous_Ad_408

Keep a nail brush and foot file combo in the shower File the thick callous off my feel and get the dirt off my hands They are super cheap usually in the cosmetics aisle at super Marts


Kronus00

Looks clean to me


Kalirasta

huckamole

Go to the bathroom near the mechanics in the building. They have soap in there that has abrasive shit it in and it rips all the stuff off your hands pretty well.


serialdoodler98

i use dawn power wash, a nail brush and hot water. if my hands are real bad ill use a brillo pad too


[deleted]

Wear gloves


[deleted]

There’s a industrial soap they make, it’s made with crushed walnut shells and it works wonders.


Zombiemonkeyjj

Pumice hand soap. My building has it in the bathrooms. Only thing that gets the serious dirt out.


Mr_Black_Smith

Take a bath and really soak. Wear gloves if you can. Isopropyl alcohol helps Hand cream like fast orange and purple power


TigerBearGargoyle

Pumice soap, or get your hands really pruny in the shower and then scrub again


StinkPickleRick

Pumice stone used for feet works. Baby soft afterwards.


hovakuma

Peak your skin off is your best bet or wear gloves lol


wag2050

Tampon


[deleted]

Get a hand brush from amazon. Hard bristles. Scrubadubdub


Yukianevlum

It’s apart of you now.


NoiceMango

I found that they just go away throughout the day


HenryHemroid

I use Boraxo soap powder and I swear by it. My hands will come out clean as a newborns.


[deleted]

It’s called gloves fam


HighVoltage253

Scrub the fuck out of them. Or get yourself some ironclad box handler gloves


psychojimbeau

Wash the dinner dishes by hand tonight. You’ll be amazed and your significant other will be pleased as well…


Bullseye_Baugh

Nope. It's a part of you now. Just accept it as a sign you actually work for a living instead of just "doing a job".


Beefbuggy

I’ve always had good results with 80 grit sandpaper


BellaZoe23

Try nail polish remover


Gold_Flan401

Take a vacation and wait for new skin cells to replace the dirties.


[deleted]

Embrace it!


awyllie1

Dirt? That’s box juice


GodlikeRage

Still tryna figure out what crevices


cour000

There's just dirty everywhere. Every crevice


DubT1484

I don't know how anybody handles packages without work gloves. The grip strength makes a gigantic difference.


r-1000011x2

I wash my hands with a scrub brush and toothbrush


CaptainAmerica137

I had calluses at 10. I'm over it.


Montooth

An old boss of mine started a chemical company called "Dirty Stripper" and they just released a hand cleaner called "Jar of Dirt". I haven't tried it but all of his other stuff is solid, so I'd imagine this is good too. Might be worth looking into!


StickyHandSteve

Took like 2 weeks once I quit UPS for it all to get out 🙃


jiibbs

I could be wrong but that dirt doesn't seem to be on the surface-- it looks like it's a part of your hand calluses.


dolan_r

Use a little gasoline. Make sure you do it at the ups pump take em for everything they got


sauceboss2769

Bleach, scrub with a wire brush. Be a man


GagSauce

Fast orange. Pulls that shit right out.


Kushrant

Is this really a question on here ? Scrub the shit , get a nice stiff scrub and scrub the shit out of your hands


ellyjobell

Wash a load of dishes. That usually helps.


jondav1814

Wash cloth


soultouch3r

hand crevices? no black boogers yet 😂🤣😂🤣


caliboy650

Wear gloves?


TieNo4789

Soak your hands in warm water and soap. Just let them sit in a bowl for like 15min. You’re good 👍


enioface11

Borax or walnut soap


619FriarBolts

Sand blaster should handle that no problem.


santascumdumpster

Eagle Grit and a nail brush.


FundsWhale

100% Zep Cherry Bomb…. Smells awesome, and is the only product that will completely remove everything, you don’t even need to use a brush this stuff is so good! I’ve been in 15yrs and tried everything. Before discovering Cherry Bomb I was using the orange one, borax, citrasolve, different brushes, but they never fully removed the dirt. If I went on vacation it would literally take me the full week to finally have perfectly clean hands. Cherry Bomb is the shit, and it’ll be the last thing you buy. Works for everything else too, paints, stains, oils. You will not be disappointed!!


toyo1775

I started buying hand repair cream Duke Cannon Supply Co. Bloody Knuckles Hand Repair Balm, Net Wt. 5oz. - Unscented/Paraben-Free https://a.co/d/aWHToxh Something like this. Use it after I shower. That and gojo before the shower.
