See?

With the hundreds of DIY and craft projects I have done over the years, I have learned a few tricks to some behind-the-scenes occupational hazards like, how to get glue and paint off skin. Lava Soap is my go-to.

I have used Lava soap ever since I can remember.  After all, it’s been around for over 100 years (OK, I’m old but not that old)! I actually keep a bar in our downstairs bathroom next to the garage. My husband uses it after working on his Jeep or changing the oil in the cars. I use it during and after doing my DIY and craft projects.

I even have a special soap dish I keep it on! I found this one while antique shopping.

Lava Soap for DIY and Crafts

Lava soap contains pumice and pumice is a by-product of volcanic activity, hence the name Lava Soap. It’s heavy duty and honestly the best out there. It’s great for removing grease, grime, oil, ink, paint, glue, resins, caulk, and more. It also now comes in a liquid form as well. Sure it’s great for auto enthusiast, but like I said in the video, it’s not just for Dudes who work on cars!

Thank you so much to Lava Soap for sponsoring this post!

    I remember my dad always have that in the garage growing up. Since I am a very clumsy crafter, I am thrilled to know that I can get paint off my hands with Lava!

      Me too, Tara! It was always in our garage growing up. Today, at first we had it for Mike, but then I started using it for me. Good stuff…

    My dad always had a bar of LAVA by the utility room sink next to his workshop. I’m slapping my forehead that I didn’t think to use LAVA to get the gunk off my hands after working in MY workshop. Duh!

    This is such a lifesaver! Because let’s be honest, who uses gloves? Can’t wait to try it.
