Obviously I wash them, scrub them, soak them in the bath...but still they smell of neds. Does anything get rid of the smell - I don't mind it but work colleagues are not too keen!
How to get clean smelling hands?!

Lakeland Plastics (and other stores) sell an aluminium 'soap bar.' Bought one ages ago (about £7). Rub it all over hands under cold running water and hey presto no nasty niffs. Works with raw fist, onions garlic to

I believe lemon juice is supposed to be good.... would sting like HELL if you had a cut though! Not sure where I heard it either...

I use Swarfega - it gets rid of the horsey smells but it's not that pleasant a smell in itself either - so I then go over them again with a lavendar hand wash.
Lemon juice is good for garlic fingers after you've been chopping it, never thought to try it on smelly horsey hands though!

Boots has a really good coconut hand scrub (actually not sure if its a boots home brand or not?) Think its called Handluscious or similar. Its a really good way of getting the ingrained dirt out of your hands and nails, and leaves them smelling great. They also have an almond and honey hand cream in the same range which is pretty good.
Only thing that I have found that works anyway

like GeeBee suggests, one of the metal soap bars are awesome.... but a teaspoon will do just as well!

I've remembered where I heard of using lemon juice to get rid of smell! Grissom said it in CSI once! Yes my brain is random.

I put a hand cream on just before i get down to stables so that the smell kinda sticks to the cream rather than get in grained in my hands and then when i have a bath i use a nail scrubber over my whole hands and ta da, no more smelly hands!
I stole the idea from when you die your hair to put moisturiser all around your hair line and then the die can't attach itself to your head so i adapted it to my smelly hands!

Always wash them with cold water!!
If you wash dirty haylagey-horsey hands with hot water it just opens up your pores, which traps the smell - always go for a good scrub in cold water first!!

Lol....I know the episode. It's the one where Sarah can't get the stench of decomp out of her hair!
I always scrub my hands under the cold water tap on the yard before I leave. Find, the longer the smell is on your hands, the harder it is to get it off!

Likewise Jeyes Fluid. If I get a splash of that on my hands, it takes days to go !!!

To remove the stench of wet haylage from your hands, simply rub them in soaked sugar beet. Dont ask me how it works, but it does
