  I'll give it a go - I'll have to ask the wife where she keeps the washing powder!
  
  I have found shampoo works just as good (particularly Loreal Lumino) but getting to a stage in life where I don't have too much cause for shampoo :-(

  Hello!
  I use soap and hot water and a hand/nail brush...works for me...the brush gets muck out from under the finger nails too without using tools to dig it out!!!
  A Pumice stone is good for keeping the callouses at bay too I find.
  Using a good moisturiser stops the cracks especially in the Winter.
  
  Have a nice clean hand weekend.

  Stuart - Daz didn't do the trick and I am sure it removes some of the natural oils from the skin!
  
  I should really use barrier cream every few hours.

  fairy liquid and some sugar,the gritty sugar gets into all the grooves of your hands. if you look at all thge mechanics hand washes,swarfega etc,they all have the grotty texture know,but all kitchens have washing up liquid and sugar,use an anti-bacterial if you want.
  i issued all our guys with vaseline intensive care cream to stop sore hands in the winter months,no complaints yet.

  My wife will be getting worried that I am taking too much interest in cleaning products from the kitchen :-)

  I like the idea of a heated hand unit!
  
  We use sanitizing hand gel in the vans as no need for water - it disinfects the hands which is always a good thing before having lunch but wouldn't say a great remover of the imbedded dirt. Gloves and barrier cream must be the best option.

  I have finally found the one!
  
  Loctite 7850 hand cleaner (Cat number 29620) not to be confused with their super glue :-)
  
  My hands have never been this clean and soft for ages!

  Loctite hand cleaner is excellent, but expensive.
  
  This is what I use at home: http://www.cromwell.co.uk/SOL7801202G and is just as good as the
  Loctite!
  
  My wife also uses it as it is a powerful cleanser but does not wreck your skin either :)
