Weโve been doing a lot of mechanics tool reviews lately as well as working on some personalย vehicles and even a lift truck. Whetherย youโre upgrading your Ford F-150ย truck or working withย construction tools you tend to get dirty. Manyย solutions on the market are petroleum-based. These solutions work really well (as anyone who has poured gasoline on their hands can attest to), but they damage your hands over time andย leave a residual smell (as well asย a host of other issues). Muck Daddy industrial hand cleaner is a solution to all of that.
Muck Daddy Industrial Hand Cleaner Features
Muck Daddy claims it tookย aย team of biochemistsย over 10 yearsย to develop Muck Daddy industrial hand cleaner to be a newer, better way to clean your handsโor just about anything else in the shop. The formula cleans really wellโsomething we can attest toโand actuallyย conditions your hands. It also doesnโt smell like gasoline, which is a huge bonus. In fact,ย theย effective ingredient of Muck Daddy, Myralene, isย derived from 100% sustainably-sourced sugarcane.ย The Myralene solvent is derived from Amyrisโs renewable hydrocarbon building block, farnesene.
Muck Daddy industrial hand cleaner is available as hand gel or convenientย wipes. The hand gel is in a 13.5 ounce bottle, and the hand wipes are in containers that hold 70 wet wipes. You can also get a gallon container as well as 2- and 3-packs. Retail pricing for the various packages are as follows:
- Hand Cleaner with Pumice (13.5 oz bottle) โย $8.99
- Hand Cleaner with Pumice (gallon) โย $39.99

Some Tech Info on Farnesene
Farnesene is produced through fermentation of sugars by yeast. Target genes are selected to change the yeastโs metabolism, converting the yeast from an ethanol-producing organism into a hydro-carbon producing organism.ย Amyrisโs platform provides three distinct advantages over the existing sources: first, it efficiently produces compounds that canโt be made by chemical synthesis;ย second, it replaces compounds typically derived from plant sources that canโt be extracted reliably; and third, it replaces compounds made from petrochemicals, with renewable compounds.

Muck Daddyย industrialย handย cleaner continues the trend of more eco-friendly industrial hand cleaners which forego more caustic chemicals in favor of safer, more organic technologies. As a result, Muck Daddy is a greatย replacement to or alternative to hand cleaning solutions like Green Kleen, Fast Orange, or Citri-scrub. We actually like the almost neutral smell even better, and the ability of the hand cleaner to cut quickly through grease and oil is remarkable.
While the squeeze bottles are fantastic to keep by a hose bib (where you can wash off), the 70-count wipes container worked equally well, and you can use them anywhere to get clean quickly without needing to rinse off. The wipes were our preferred shop solution, while the smaller 13.5 ounce bottle is a great product toย bring to the jobsite where you can rinse off before you leave. For mechanics or anyone greasing equipment or doing maintenance, this is ย great solution for keeping clean. The included pumice gives you a nice abrasive to help in the cleaning process, but Muck Daddy is creating a smooth version without pumice for less strenuous cleaning needs.
