I find the scrub brushes are too hard on my skin.  Wouldn't even dare
use a green scrub pad!!!  I use soft toothbrushes for my teeth.  I
always save old toothbrushes.  They're useful in the kitchen for
cleaning hard-to-reach places.  Included in that is under and around
my fingertips.

I confess that I (B) don't do much auto work.  So I don't have the
issue of greasy dirt.  I do enough cooking that I wind up with stinky
stuff (garlic, lovely!!! but only before and during dinner) on my
skin.  Then I grab a tablespoon of lemon juice and rub it in before
washing my hands.
