What do you use to wash your hands?

Hello... Just wondering what eveyone uses to clean their hands before putting them in your reef tank. (If anything at all) Let me know... because I find that using some soaps is pretty bad.

 

I use to wash my hand and then I stop. Then I used to go in with bare hand, and now I ware glove.

 

I don't use any soap at all. I wash with water only and dry my hands with a clean bath towel.

 

No soap. just rince and dry. But i wear gloves most of the time.

I work in the construction field so I get pretty dirty. I use soap to remove oil, gas etc. then rinse very well with water. I have no problems with that regimen-I think I am going to invest in gloves though(purple and orange) ones available online at Marine Depot etc.

 

I usually wash with dish soap, if I hadn't washed them in a while. I wash my hands a few times a day usually so, unless I've been into something, I just go in. I keep wanting to get some good gloves, but haven't done that yet.

 

Thanks for the input. I noticed that when I used "Soft Soap" or another soap that contains moisturizers, my red slime algae would come back. I am going to continue using dish soap. That seems to rinse well and have no ill effects.

 

Ditto. I rub my hand clean with pure tap water, then dry it with a towel. ;D The only time you need to use soap is if you grabbed something oily, etc, etc. But even if I did, I wouldn't put my hand in there until I took a shower.

 

I never use soap on my hands if I am going to be in my tank....unless I have lotion or something else on my hands then I wash with soap and rince well.
