Hello all! Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
I posted this question on another forum before I realized that this might be the "proper" place to post
I just can't be the only one out there that has a problem with knees that don't come clean. It seems like the dirt "stains" my skin. I have tried everything (including household bleach). Any hints would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried table salt? It is a great exfoliant, but will dry the skin if used repeatedly. My knees don't get dirty becuazse i wear jeans, but I am always taking off my gloves, then forgetting to put them back on, so I get dirt and grass/weed stain on my hands, and the salt works. I also use old toothbrushes, as fingernail brushes always seem to disappear.

Hope this helps! i am sure there is something you could do to PREVENT this, let me think on it. I have heeard of scraping your fingernails across a bar of soap to keep out dirt, maybe if you rubbed some thick cream, like udder balm or MK EENC (that thick pink stuff), it would keep the dirt from getting way in the skin, then wash it off with the soap. It would also get kinds sticky, and maybe you would get more dirty...

Would you like to be the guinea pig and try this, then let us know how/if it works? *GRIN*

Udder Cream will help to get the dirt out. Use it after you have washed, rub in a good amount and wipe the excess off with a paper towel. Also, using Borateem hand cleanser will help.
