Pro tip: A weird trick for getting rid of that stubborn coolant smell on your hands
Honestly, I was ready to give up. After every shift, my hands smelled like rancid coolant for hours, no matter how much I scrubbed. My wife kept saying it was gross. I tried the usual stuff, dish soap, the orange pumice cleaner, even a baking soda paste. Nothing worked for more than a few minutes. Then, last Tuesday, an old timer at my shop in Dayton saw me scrubbing and just said, 'Use coffee grounds.' I thought he was messing with me, but I was desperate. I grabbed a handful of the used grounds from the break room, rubbed them on my wet hands like gritty soap for about 30 seconds, and rinsed. Ngl, the smell was totally gone. It sounds crazy, but it actually worked. Has anyone else found a weird fix like this for shop grime?
