This woman is a national treasure.

I agree wholeheartedly. She has taught me so much. An excellent teacher!!
she is internatonal, i love her.
Agreed
Couldn't had said it better! Wow, so true!
Salt doesn't just clean your hands it will also communicate to you the location of even the tiniest of cuts.
I love me some Acetone.. Call it the cutfinder 3000
@@classclown14
And just to cover all the bases you should be smoking when using the acetone.
Hilarious but true
I was building in Israel and took a day trip to the dead sea and yep salt found every nick slice cut and it hurt until the “healing properties “ kicked in haha
Lol, "communicate" ... ha!
When I was little, if my hands got really dirty dad would help me wash them in gasoline. Later when I lived with my mom she would wash your hands in acetone. Really it's amazing that I'm still here.
Lol
My dad would do the same thing to his own hands. 😁
one of the only youtubers that has a deep understanding of the content presented. Gotta love knowledgeable people with enough heart and soul to share with everyone.
3:20 lol that cracked me up
She started talking about the coffee break, and I had to make a cup of coffee. :)
So true
Same lol
Salt is a great cleaner. If I say a nasty curse word, I wash out my mouth with a double salted Margarita.
Oh you dog you
@Fred Sanford I was gonna type Bad Bad Bad, but yours is better. :)
🤩 Sounds like the absolutely best Cure/punishment! Thx I needed that😇
That's some shit.....!!! ooops,.....where's the Tequila?
Lol
Wow incredible information, once again Grandpa Tom, age 70,learned a new trick,thanks
Tom Burgess
Another grandpa Tom (but the call me Buggaah, long story), also 70's learned something. So thankful for great tips like these.
You're never too old to learn something new.
Tom Burgess FAO the author. I am not affected by the awful tools that come from your "Harbour Freight". However, after watching one of your videos on the crap bench grinder, I have to say I was surprised and disappointed with you. You are seriously going to bride dumb asses (who cannot work out whether a tool is good/bad from harbour freight) into paying for your patreon.
That is some sort of bullshit! You really should be ashamed! It isn't like it has required you a lot of work or time to compile a list of shit tools from harbour freight.
The simple advice is this, don't buy harbour freight. Buy decent tools, not cheap Chinese imports. Good tools cost good money, only idiots buy from harbour freight, unless you get off on disappointment, avoid! Buy second hand quality tools rather than shit new ones.
make sure to use hot water not cold or you can burn your hands seeing as i already knew this trick and didnt realize the place i was working at had no hot water at the time freezing cold water blasted my hands and i got chemical burns so be safe people
70 and using you tube lol
My step mother advocated washing hands with salt when they get stinky (from cooking fish, using garlic, etc.). I never thought I’d hear that I’d hear carpenters using it too.
Daniel Coe I swear my smelly feet never smelled again after I swam in the extra salty Gulf of Mexico. Not kidding. I live closer to the pacific, less salt.
True. Whenever I go swimming in the ocean, all the cuts and contusions on my body are magically healed and my skin looks better overall.
Please research the term "flesh eating bacteria".
I don’t know if you read comments on older videos, but here’s my tip as well: before going out to work on any messy project my husband applies lotion to his hands. Don’t think you have to slather it on, because that might get on your project, just apply a normal amount you’d use to moisturize your hands. This fills in all the little crevices in your skin so grease and grime can’t fill them, so washing up is much easier. And it prevents those permanently stained fingers that he used to struggle with. Thanks for the great advice about salt!
I'm late to the party here: Barrier cream is best for this! 😊
I use coconut oil. just a little on top part and fingers, so nothing slips out of my hands and no grease gets on projects.i will now use the salt trick when done for the day. I only used salt after stinky jobs but will use it daily now
2022. Thanks for the tips
2023 thanks
After all the years doing construction of all types and mechanic work I can't believe I've never heard about using salt...This is awesome...Thanks Leah!!!!
“I wanna hold your hand,” Leah! 😊
I served on sea duty in the Navy for two years in the 1960s. The deck force (the infantrymen of the Navy) would be constantly be removing rust from the exterior of the ship and priming and painting. Their hands were full of oil based paint at the end of the workday. After they cleaned their brushes they would take a glob of Vaseline and mimic washing their hands with it. The guys would sit around the Boatswain’s locker and talk while they worked the paint off of their skin. It’s something I do every time I paint.
Thank you for sharing this! 🙂👍
Any kind of vegetable oil, and even lard and tallow, work on removing most stuff from skin, not just Nanny'hands. Vaseline is a petrochemical so not very good for skin.
When my youngest son suffered from allergies on his bum, my pediatrician suggested I use castor oil after every diaper change, besides changing to cloth diapers full disposable ones. It worked like a charm! I continued to use it on their eczema, my dry skin, and now, add it to my homemade soap.
Salt is a great abrasive for us humans, on hands and teeth, but doesn't disinfect like soap. And if you use homemade soap with a good superfat, it won't dry your skin.
Crisco, or other vegetable shortening, is another one. It can be for used even on face, and near eyes. It’s very easy to wipe off. I have used it to remove makeup. It’s clean and no fragrance or additives.
@@iluminameluna Since you mentioned Vaseline, I have found it to be the best way to soften & renew your leather or pigskin gloves when they get so dry & stiff. I wash gloves 1st, then put them on & rub plenty Vaseline between your gloved hands. Sometimes, after drying (never in dryer) & shrinkage makes them too tight to put on, just rewet & then put on & rub vaseline between gloved hands.
Love your personality! You seem to be a caring person. Thank you for all you do.
I'm glad you learned this, Leah, since you're holding all of our hands through our home projects!
There is a good reason why Leah has over half a million subscribers!! Very soothing tone, informative always..rich experience...like the lead elephant has a mammoth knowledge base to guide the herd 👏👏
It’s official! This is just the greatest diy channel...ever! I have learned how to install a toilet and keep my hands pretty. It’s a one stop shop 👍🏻❤️
Salt is also used to clean a seasoned pots and pans, especially cast iron.
Wow I never thought about using it for that too!! Thank you!
Yes, I was gonna say, my grandmother used to use salt on pans.
Baking soda works too in a pinch.
So, salt should be used for stripping the seasoning off your cast iron. It not good to use it for cleaning. Best way is to get your pan HOT to burn off what ever sticks. When a cast iron is properly seasoned, not even fried potatoes will stick. If you keep scrubbing them with salt, you will never get a perfect non stick surface. Once you get the pan hot enough to incinerate the sticky leftovers, let it cool for a minute, for safety, then just wipe off the carbon stuff. Pour a small amount of canola or vegetable oil, not olive oil! And wipe with a paper towel The heat tolerance of crappy oils will not burn off at the high temps. Let the pan cool slowly to absorb all that oil, thus filling the porous surface and continuing to add to that beautiful gloss! Bottom line, if you gotta scrub you pan then it’s not good and seasoned yet, and scrubbing with salt just keeps your pans from progressing. Just what has worked for me...
@@jaw3895 Thanks JW for info!
"Like dissolves like" is a saying in chemistry so yes using oils to disolve other oils can work
Yeah, like cheap cooking oil.
You beat me to it. I just posted the same factoid.
@@patrickdaly5068 i was just a bit faster - about 2 years :p
@@marshwetland3808 I agree--Save the expensive oil for cooking. But, even though it's also expensive, a little coconut oil on hands after washing is better than most hand creams I've tried & goes a lot further since it's not watered down & no harmful chemicals.
@@Slinkygal It's cheap compared to some things I use. It's all right. I use so much sunscreen on the backs of my hands every day that I don't need any oil. I just reapply sunscreen. Thirty years later, my hands don't look like dead lizards hanging from my arms - yay. And no skin cancer.
Leah,
You truly are a pleasant soul! Your video's are a fantastic resource. Thank you for sharing.
The most helpful and practical video I've seen in a while... and I use CZcams for several hours every day.
Another Great reason to watch your SeeJaneDrill videos - practical, useful, helpful information that can be used "right now". Excellent.
Two things: 1) Leah, you are awesome! Last year, I started my own handywoman business and discovered you videos while researching some conundrum. Your knowledge, clarity, videography skills and downright approachability are exceptional. AND with the salt tip I can go tango dancing again without feeling embarrassed over hideous mitts. But back to the work at hand, I feel like I've found a new mentor. Keep it up. I'm singin' your praises.
thank you
You have the best personallity. I really appreciate all your instructions. Keep up the good work
Cheap and natural solutions... Thank you Leah!
I've been using their note pads for years in geocaching, great products.
Good tips on the hand cleaning Leah, I have Psoriasis and harsh detergents and chemicals irritate my skin and cause redness.
Being a welder and mechanic, salt works to a certain extent but I find that any grease cutting liquid dish soap works well and adding salt would word even better. Thanks for the tips Leah, I'd be happy to hold your lovely hands.
how do you live with it?
I have lupus, Sjogren's, and don't have my thyroid, so I have really sensitive, dry skin. Oh, and allergies!
In 2014 I started researching ways to stop the irritation from using commercial soaps, detergents, and other stuff, on my skin.
The result was that I began making my own laundry soap, rinsing my clothes with vinegar, brushing my teeth with salt and cinnamon, and making my own soap and salves. Best thing I ever did. And it's cheaper too, even when making high quality products.
I make a soap, as do many other soapers, for when I work on dirty projects, like cleaning fans, the kitchen grease collectors, or paint. It has salt as an abrasive, but other soapers use sand, pumice, or activated charcoal. Those materials, combined with some great oils, make for healthy, clean hands. 💦 👐🏻
Great tips! Thank you, I will try this for sure!
Since this comment is 3 years old, whats the current state?
It makes sense. Gotta love this lady Jane the way she explains things she doesn't miss a beat.
Leah... You absolutely ROCK!
Great tip with the salt - i'll give it a try. I always use olive oil to clean my hands after working on motors. Sometimes i combine that with sand if they are really dirty with grease and oil. also, sometimes I like a bath rather than a shower but i never use soap - I mix olive oil with essential oils into the water as its filling.
This is a very interesting video, thanks. The only time I used salt was years ago to get rid of fish smell from my hands after I cleaned up some lake basses.
My Grandma Nettie taught me to wash my hands with mustard after cleaning fish. Sounds weird, but works amazingly well. No fish smell at all.
My wife and I watch your educational videos all the time and we love you you're awesome!
Leah, great tip for cleaning hands. You have such a warm personality and it shows. Thank you for your help and God bless you.
👋🏽 I hold your hands! Great vids. Keep them coming.
It might actually be ingredients like the notorious Sodium laureth sulfate in the soap that were ruining your skin. You can get all sorts of SLS-free soaps made with salt + olive oil. However I wouldn't rely on just salt to properly sanitise your hands for stuff like preparing food or first aid.
I'm glad I have read comments especially on seejanesdrill channel
It is just a pleasure to watch your videos. You have helped me gain the confidence to do minor house repairs and given me so many tips. My house is a better house because of you! Thank you.
I love your conversational style. Every video is so educational.
Great tips, Olivoil also helps to get tar and tree sap off of your hands!
yes, olive oil is great!
For years I've used olive oil to remove gum from my kids hair. It works great each and every time!
Leah! My oh my Leah! Two brilliant tips! Thank you ever so much!
You know what? Especially when you advised us to use oil to remove oil based paints from our hands, I just thought:
"Pure genius! I use water to wash off water based paints. So it only stand to reason that one could use oils to remove oil based paints! Genius!"
Thank you Leah, and please keep on bringing these great ideas to your channel for all to see and learn from.
I've been watching you for a while now, Leah. This was the best video yet. Not just for the info, but I love your personality! Thank you for the video.
Great tips Leah. Thank you very much.
I used Write-in-the-rain notebooks when I would go yo sea, they are great.
Leah, you come up with another good one. I have used that Lava soap before but I’ll definitely do salt now. Thanks everyone else with all the good tips too. I when I go to Buffalo Wild Wings or any place that serves wings or bar-b-que I ask for lemons. They know me now so I don’t have to ask anymore!
When I was a boy 40 years ago, they would automatically bring lemon and hot water to wash hands after eating ribs. It was a treat in of it's own. 👍
@@LitoGeorge
There was a waiter at a restaurant nearby who would place the finger bowl with great dignity and with a perfectly straight face intone "your lemon soup Sah"
According to him, about 8 out of 10 would argue that they had not ordered it and tell him to take it away...
I'm not sure about the statistics but I did witness this happening more than once...
Ha - good story. Tx
I love your advice Leah! Thanks!
Leah, thank you so much for all you do. It is our pleasure to support your wonderful channel.
Thanks Jim. The pleasure is ours!
I've always had to use bacteriocidal soap for surgical procedures. The soap and water, together, form micelles ( an aggregate of molecules in a colloidal solution) , to remove the dirt and grease. The salt is acting like the pumice in Lava Soap.
I found at night and weekends working in my shop and outside. With wet gloves on all day on the weekend and getting cuts and dry splits that were painful, I found Just For Hands. A lady pharmacist came up with it and it's the only thing I've found that is non greasy and works like a miracle over night. Heals cuts and stops the burning.
If you ever drop a egg on the floor, sprinkle some salt on it and it'll come right up.
Love your channel. Just great tips and tricks and advice and experience.
Stay away from antimicrobial soaps as they are known endocrine disruptors
@Dr Mark, where can we buy Just For Hands? Amazon doesn't have it.
O'keefe's Working Hands is great for splits.
Cant find this "Just for Hands" !
And, Penicillin doesn't cure everything.
Oil works great to clean up spilled paint too if you catch it right away.
I'm too cheap to use olive oil though... that's for cooking LOL
I have horses, and hard well water in my barn. I've always used salt to scour the slimey growth out of the sides of the horse's water buckets. Works amazing, and no worries about leaving soapy residue behind. You can get it in bulk dirt cheap from your local wholesale clubs.
I will also add that straight baking soda right out of the box makes a great hand scrub for greasy hands too!
I find the info in your videos quite valuable. And they make me feel good. Especially when you say what you say at the end. Your kind words are encouraging, and inspiring. And what more could anyone ask for? Not much, if anything at all...
So thank you! And I wish YOU the best, for helping US, do it ourselves. ❤
I'd be proud to hold those hands.
First view and comment. Yayyy!!! I subscribed to your channel 3 years ago only because I needed to do one thing. I now find myself watching just because you are so informative and make everything look so easy. Keep up the good work. !!!!
Same here. I have always done stuff for myself and so have a fair bit of experience but Leah still has a few lessons for me :)
NubianKiss ThaGoddess she's great. 👍
Hey, thanks very much!
I'm a professional tradesman.
Leah is great
Wow! Great tip. Rite in the rain you rock.
Oh! So adorable! Hearing your voice makes me feel like being pampered :)
Great tips Jane, greetings from México
Great lips mane ,eating at texaco
Thanks for the tip Leah! I'm going to purchase some of those notebooks. I'm a cop and a notebook I can take notes with in the rain while at crime scenes or interviewing people would be super helpful. Many times in 22 years of this job I've been out in the rain writing on regular paper, never turns out well
Thanks Leah. I absolutely love your videos and am learning from you every day.
Thanks, Leah. Another great video. You have the heart of a teacher.

Lemon & Salt for Stinky Hands like after cutting Onions or Fish.
Jonny DIY You can also use something stainless steel (506) that will get rid of onion smell😃
Yep I rub my hands on my stainless steel sink and no more stink
If your fish smells, don’t eat it, it’s not fresh
My grandfather's way, he learned in Sicily as a kid, to clean oily things off your hands was also olive oil!! My grandmother used olive oil as a remedy for many health related things, too. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways! 😉👍
Thank you for everything you do! Awesome tips!!
Thanks Leah. That's some good information. I'm going to try this tonight
I wanna hold your hand!!! 🙂
Oh, let me hold your hand!
Yea you...got that something...I think you'll understand.
Well Lennon and McCartney were inspired by Sasha's method when they wrote "I want to hold your hand".
Me too! 👍
@@lizwynaco2222
😂😂😂👏👏👏🌈
I believe that baking soda works in the same way.
Leah, you're AMAZING! We LOVE YOU!
I love your videos. I appreciate your encouraging approach, as well as your ability to share your vast experience with humor and clarity and thoroughness.
Leah, I'll hold your hand any time, any day.

Salt... That makes sense!! Thanks Leah! I've been gone because my Dad passed away and slowly i'm coming back. I appreciate you Leah!
Naudi K so sorry to hear about your dad. Welcome back!
I am sorry for your loss. I'm glad you're back.
I've been a carpenter and master carpenter boatbuilder for 38 years. a lot of this stuff I know, also, there's a lot of things here I never new. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that the main reason for the popularity of This Channel is Leah. 😃 This woman is pure gold. Great tips, cool tricks, and that soothing voice. I'm a subscriber. 👍
Thanks for the cool tip Leah you are a fountain of extremely useful information and I’m grateful
My grandfather taught me his trick of using 20 mule team borax instead of soap, it works great too!
20 mule team borax is good stuff but is getting harder to find. I had to order it on line, couldn't find it in any local stores.
I have two huge boxes of borax, it is also great to get rid of ants, mix it with a bit of sugar, tears up their insides
Good to know!!! :)
Borax is mildly toxic (as are many soaps), can burn you and cause birth defects and potentially cancer due to hormonal disruption, don't use it on yourself... Hiwever, it is a great ant / pest repellent though and is generally considered safe as a detergent for clothes as it's highly soluble in water, but you may want to avoid it if you have one if those 'water efficient' clothes washers.
Coffee Grounds good for cleaning Dirty Greasy hands, but wash outside because the grounds are BAD for plumbing.
Jonny DIY
"grounds are BAD for plumbing."
You got me to google to check this out. I had no idea that coffee grounds block plumbing. Thanks for posting that Jonny.
I'll never forget when I was visiting the kid, he was dumping coffee grounds down the sink, said 'good for the plumbing' months later he said he was digging up the septic tank
What? Really? Ive been dumping all my coffee in the sink everyday for 2 years now. Plumbing still good.
@@darfboony824 that's cuz its only bad for people who has septic tanks
A quick mixture of liquid dish soap and powdered laundry soap is REALLY good at cleaning hands of the grimiest, and cuts through most everything.
Absolutely incredible!! Thanks you so much, Leah!
🙂
Thank you, Leah! Wonderful video,
Yah , but my doctor told me to cut down on the salt :-)
renoguy25 Washing is not ingestion. And what your doctor should actually be saying is for you to cut down on the refined table salt, not salt in general. What is portrayed as an overuse of salt is actually mineral/electrolyte imbalance. If you ingest high amounts of sodium & not enough magnesium, your body can't properly absorb potassium, which is necessary for proper muscle function. Your heart is a muscle organ. Not enough potassium & your heart can't beat properly & struggles. Blood pressure goes up & you may experience edema in your extremities. You'll find if you just replace refined table salt with real pink Himilayan salt or real sea salt, whatever issues you are dealing with will either be alleviated or fully eradicated. Natural salts contain many different major minerals, including many trace necessary trace minerals, which work in synergy for your body's health.
Also, be aware the lack of adequate iodine in the diet can cause the edema which is sometimes blamed on salt intake. Sometimes undiagnosed hypothyroidism can precede & precipitate so called cardiovascular issues. The body has a unique balance for health. The body starts out balancing itself, but the standard modern diet is not providing all of the essential building blocks needed, thus the body struggles.
WatchingMyLifeFlashB way to take the fun out of a joke buzz kill.
@@WatchingMyLifeFlashB I believe it was a joke😐
My 20 year old grandson goes to mechanic school and works at a car dealer his hands are stained from oil and grease. He will not wear gloves what can he get to clean his hands. When he comes over to eat with us his hands look terrible and it is very embarrassing to me he does not seem to care. His nasty hands seem to be a badge of pride to him. I hope you can help. Thank You
Mr. DroCro in many cases you really can not feel fine adjustments and little things to work with if you wear gloves. But yeah, he might kind a proud of it that his hand tells about what is he doing. Once the oil and tint goes into the small cracks, its not possible to clean it. It takes time to comes off with the skin itself.
Mr. DroCro You are right about he not being lazy. Thanks for your comments.
If you won't wear gloves, there's not a lot you can do. Auto oils, and solvents can dry the skin, and dry skin really holds onto the oily stains. Try to not use the harshest hand cleaners. Some professional mechanic hand cleaners( GoJo) have lanolin. That helps. It helps to moisturize your hands with hand lotion containing petrolatum. Also rub it into the fingernails and cuticles. Am no mechanic, am a farmer...often greasy. I am curious to try the salt thing, but I suspect that's more for removing dirt, and paint and adhesives from hands, rather than motor oil.
Duke Makedo Thanks for the comment and the tips.
Baking soda and a little hand soap will remove all of the car grease off
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences, you are very down to earth. I Learned something every time I watch your channel.
Léa, please show us pictures of you when you were younger .
Autumn Dewoody what's wrong with my question? I'm just curious.
