Zep Cherry Bomb Hand Cleaner: Amazon / Walmart
Whenever I run out of hand cleaner, it’s a good opportunity to try out new ones. I’ve mostly gotten the orange-type of hand cleaners, but I noticed this cherry-scented one that gets lots of good reviews. This is Cherry Bomb from Zep, and it is a pretty well known industrial hand cleaner that a lot of people seem to like.
I tend to prefer the orange-scented hand cleaners instead, but if you prefer cherry-scented products, then this might appeal to you. Like my kids… they use this hand cleaner instead of regular hand soap because they like the scent so much.
Cherry Bomb is what I’d call a mild hand cleaner, as it comes out with a more fine grit to it. It is more gentle on your hands for this reason.
Even though this is what I’d call a gentle hand cleaner, it still does a good job of scrubbing grease and oil off your skin. Sometimes, it might take a second pump to get everything out. The viscosity feels like it is a lotion with the fine pumice, so you need to work it into your hands a bit to get the dirty gunk off the skin. It’s a little bit slippery, which I believe is to leave your skin feeling somewhat soft afterwards.
As you can see, it does a great job scrubbing away oil and grease, which is the primary purpose of an industrial hand cleaner. It tends to leave a bit of a slipper film behind like lotion does, which may appeal to you if you like this. Personally I don’t, so after I use Zep Cherry Bomb to clean off the heavy oil/grease, I follow up with some regular hand soap afterwards to leave my hand completely clean and grease-free.
