Recently I did a lot of work on our truck and car. Routine maintenance stuff including oil changes, transmission fluid change in one, and brake work. My hands looked a lot worse than the fellow pictured here for several days.

When your husband looks like this, it’s understandable to worry he will make a mess in the house. If he’s proven he will do that then take preventative measures. Have orange hand cleaner and paper towels to hand him as he walks in the door.

But please see beyond the mess and thank him for the work he did. A bit of appreciation will make him feel good and it might actually increase the odds he will try to avoid making a mess.

~ Paul – I’m XY, and orange hand cleaner is a fantastic thing!
