Solvent-free orange hand cleaner formulated with natural walnut shell grit to lift and remove ingrained oil, grease, and grime from hands on wet or dry application. Unlike surfactant-only cleaners, the walnut shell abrasive works mechanically to loosen heavy soiling before it is rinsed away, without blocking drains or pipes. Made in Great Britain and supplied as a 2 litre refill cartridge compatible with MedWash dispenser systems.
How walnut shell grit lifts ingrained oil and grease without harsh solvents
Standard liquid soaps and surfactant-only hand cleaners struggle against ingrained oil, grease, and carbon soiling that has worked into skin creases, nail beds, and knuckle lines after a shift handling machinery, plant, or construction materials. Repeated scrubbing with an inadequate cleaner either fails to fully remove the contamination or relies on solvents that strip the skin's natural oils, leaving hands dry, cracked, and more vulnerable to irritation over time. This refill cartridge combines a solvent-free surfactant base with natural walnut shell grit, physically breaking down heavy soiling in a single wash while remaining gentle enough for daily use.
Key Features
-
Natural walnut shell grit: Provides mechanical scrubbing action that breaks down ingrained oil, grease, and carbon soiling that surfactants alone cannot shift.
-
Solvent-free formulation: Removes heavy soiling without the skin-drying effects of solvent-based cleaners, reducing the risk of cracked or irritated hands after repeated use.
-
Effective on wet or dry hands: Can be applied at the point of contamination even where washroom water access is limited, then rinsed off once work is complete.
-
Fast-acting formula: Breaks down soiling quickly, reducing time spent at the wash station during busy shifts.
-
Pleasant orange fragrance: Leaves hands smelling clean without an overpowering scent, suited to shared welfare facilities.
-
Drain-safe grit: Walnut shell abrasive rinses away cleanly, avoiding the pipe and drain blockages associated with synthetic or mineral-based scrubbing agents.
-
Made in Great Britain: Manufactured and formulated in the UK to consistent quality standards.

Who is this for
This hand cleaner is used by groundworkers, mechanics, and plant operatives whose hands come into regular contact with oil, grease, and heavy site or workshop soiling that standard soap cannot remove. It is equally suited to fabricators, welders, and general site operatives working across construction, vehicle maintenance, and manufacturing environments where a fast, effective clean is needed between tasks or at the end of a shift.
Typical applications
-
Removing ingrained engine oil and grease from hands after vehicle or plant maintenance work.
-
Cleaning hands after handling bitumen, tar, or other heavy adhesive site materials.
-
Washing hands mid-shift on sites with limited water access, using the wet-or-dry application method.
-
Removing carbon and soot deposits after welding, fabrication, or cutting work.
-
Cleaning hands before eating or entering welfare and canteen areas after heavy soiling tasks.
-
Preparing hands for barrier cream or glove application as part of a wider skin safety regime.
-
General workshop and garage hand cleaning after mechanical repair or servicing work.
How to use
Step 1: Dispense a small amount of product directly onto wet or dry hands.
Step 2: Work the cleaner into heavily soiled areas including nail cuticles, wrists, and the backs of the hands, massaging thoroughly.
Step 3: Continue massaging until visible soiling has lifted and the walnut shell grit has worked through ingrained contamination.
Step 4: Rinse off with plenty of clean water.
Step 5: Dry hands thoroughly with a clean towel or paper towel before continuing work or applying barrier cream.
Common mistakes
-
Using too little product on heavy soiling: a light application is sufficient for daily grime but heavily ingrained oil and grease needs a fuller amount worked in for at least 20 to 30 seconds before rinsing.
-
Rinsing too quickly: the walnut shell grit needs sufficient contact time and massaging to lift ingrained soiling fully; rinsing immediately reduces cleaning performance.
-
Applying near the eyes or face: this product is formulated for hand use only and is not recommended for facial application.
-
Skipping the moisturising step afterwards: repeated washing throughout a shift can dry the skin over time; following with a reconditioning cream helps maintain skin health.
-
Using on broken or highly sensitive skin without checking first: patch test on a small area if skin is compromised or unusually sensitive.
Safety
Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water. Not recommended for facial use. This product is not a substitute for appropriate PPE where chemical exposure protection is required. Individual users with known sensitivities to natural nut-derived ingredients should check the full ingredient listing before use, as the product contains walnut shell powder.
Maintenance
Store the cartridge in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Check the dispenser nozzle periodically for residue build-up and wipe clean to maintain consistent dispensing. Replace the cartridge once empty; do not attempt to refill or reuse an empty cartridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this hand cleaner remove ingrained oil and grease after a full day on site?
A: The walnut shell grit provides mechanical scrubbing action that works through ingrained oil, grease, and grime that surfactants alone struggle to shift. Combined with the solvent-free surfactant base, it is formulated specifically for heavy daily soiling in construction, workshop, and industrial environments. For very heavy contamination, allow a fuller application time of 20 to 30 seconds before rinsing for best results.
Q: What is walnut shell grit and why is it used instead of a synthetic scrubber?
A: The abrasive in this formula is Juglans regia shell powder, a natural walnut-derived grit that provides physical scrubbing action to lift ingrained soiling. Unlike synthetic or mineral-based scrubbers, walnut shell grit rinses away cleanly without contributing to drain or pipe blockages over repeated use. It also breaks down more gently on the skin than harsher synthetic alternatives, reducing the risk of irritation with daily use.
Q: What is this hand cleaner NOT suitable for?
A: This product is not recommended for facial use and should not come into contact with the eyes. It is not a substitute for PPE where chemical exposure protection is required, and it is not intended for use on broken or highly sensitive skin without a patch test first. Anyone with a known sensitivity to nut-derived ingredients should check the full formulation before use.
Q: Why choose this over a standard liquid hand soap?
A: Standard liquid hand soap relies on surfactants alone and struggles against ingrained oil, grease, and carbon soiling common in construction and workshop environments. This formula combines the same surfactant cleaning action with natural walnut shell grit, providing mechanical scrubbing power that removes heavy soiling in a single wash rather than repeated attempts with a standard soap.
Q: Which dispenser is this cartridge compatible with?
A: This is a 2 litre cartridge designed for the MedWash 2 Litre Lockable Dispenser (JLMWDP2L-WHT) and forms the Step 1 Clean position in the MedWash Hand Protection Centre (JL100025). It is not compatible with MedWash 1 litre or 750ml dispensers, which take a different cartridge size.
Q: How long does a 2 litre cartridge last, and how should it be stored?
A: Cartridge life depends on the number of users and frequency of heavy soiling on site; a busy welfare station with regular use typically depletes a 2 litre cartridge faster than a lightly used one. Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, and check dispenser stock levels weekly to avoid running out mid-shift.
Q: How quickly can I get replacement cartridges delivered when we run low on site?
A: Order by 7pm for next-day delivery nationwide. CMT Group operates its own fleet of vehicles covering over 95% of the UK mainland, with live order tracking, real-time ETAs, and What3Words integration for delivery to a specific site entrance or welfare cabin location without a postcode. VIP same-day delivery is also available.
Q: How do I know CMT Group stocks genuine MedWash refills that fit our existing dispensers?
A: CMT Group holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, CHAS Elite accreditation, and Crown Commercial Service Supplier status, reflecting a consistent standard of product sourcing and supply chain quality control. As the direct supplier of the MedWash range, CMT Group ensures every cartridge matches the correct specification for MedWash dispenser systems, avoiding compatibility issues from third-party alternatives.
