The PROFIRS 0RS4L-P hand cleaner is a professional workshop-grade hand washing paste designed for removing heavy dirt, grease, oils, petroleum residues, varnish, and other stubborn contaminants. Although listed as a “hand sanitizer,” its description and formula show that it is primarily a heavy-duty hand cleaning paste rather than an alcohol-based disinfectant.

Formula & Cleaning Action
This hand paste uses mild detergents combined with natural abrasives, including perlite and pumice, to help lift and scrub away heavy grime. This makes it especially useful for mechanics, agricultural workers, workshop staff, and anyone dealing with oil-based dirt.
The formula also includes glycerin and emollient ingredients, which help reduce the drying effect often associated with strong hand cleaners.
Performance
The PROFIRS paste is designed to remove:
- Grease
- Used oils
- Petroleum-based dirt
- Varnish residues
- Workshop grime
- Hard-to-remove stains from hands
It is applied to dry hands, rubbed in thoroughly until the dirt loosens, and then rinsed with water. This method is effective because the abrasive and detergent action can work directly on the contamination before dilution.
Packaging & Ease of Use
The 4 L plastic container with pump dispenser is practical for garages, workshops, service stations, farms, and industrial workplaces. The pump makes dispensing cleaner and more controlled than open tubs, especially in shared work areas.
The large size is also economical for frequent use.
Skin Feel
For a heavy-duty cleaner, the inclusion of glycerin and protective ingredients is a positive feature. It should be gentler than very harsh solvent-based cleaners, though users with sensitive skin should still avoid overuse and rinse thoroughly.
Safety & Storage
- Keep out of reach of children
- Avoid contact with the eyes
- Store at room temperature
- Protect from direct light
- Rinse thoroughly after use
The product contains fragrance components such as limonene, linalool, citral, and preservatives including methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, which may irritate sensitive skin.
