INOX Mint Grit Hand Cleaner is a safe, non-toxic cleaner formulated to remove and dissolve tough grease, oils, tars and soils – effective with or without water. The soft scrubbing abrasive Cenolite (a silica and alumina lightweight aggregate) gently removes ingrained dirt by massaging the skin, while the macadamia and vitamin E oils moisturise and condition as you clean.
INOX Mint Grit Hand Cleaner was developed to meet the demanding needs of Australian workers who require effective hand cleaning without access to water facilities. The biodegradable formula contains no petroleum hydrocarbons or solvents, making it safe for use in workshops, food preparation operations, restaurants, farms and garden nurseries, as well as domestic environments.
INOX Mint Grit Hand Cleaner combines powerful cleaning action with skin care benefits that traditional industrial hand cleaners cannot match. The unique formulation is mild enough for daily use whilst being tough enough to handle the heaviest industrial contaminants, setting it apart from harsh solvent-based alternatives that can damage and dry skin with repeated use.
