A Friendly Soap Bar (for mucky mechanics!)

Friendly Mechanic’s Soap (made in Northumberland) is also sold in packs of 12. Free from palm oil, it contains grease-busting lemon oil, exfoliating pumice stone and is scented with cedarwood, patchouli and tea tree oil.

As this soap contains essential oils, it’s best to avoid during pregnancy/nursing, if you’re a female mechanic (girl power!) Also keep away from babies and pets (due to citrus oils).
