Reinol Flax: Solvent-Free Industrial Hand Cleaner — Eco-Safe Wood Flour Formula

Experience the trusted cleaning power of Reinol Flax, part of the globally recognized Reinol range — the gold standard in industrial hand cleaner solutions. Engineered for hard-working hands, this quick-acting, concentrated paste formula doesn't just move dirt — it completely emulsifies tough industrial contaminants while actively conditioning the skin with every wash.

While the Reinol Original uses silica sand and the Reinol K uses pumice, Reinol Flax sets itself apart with its unique wood flour scrubbing technology and natural veggie oil soft soap base — making it the standout choice for trade professionals working where eco drainage systems or septic tanks are in use. Whether you are removing automotive grease, bitumen marks, inks, or fibre-glass resins, it provides a professional trade grade, deep clean that leaves hands feeling soft, refreshed, and restored.

Key Benefits for Industrial Usage

• Solvent-Free & Septic Tank Safe: A powerful, specialized industrial formula made from natural ingredients that cleans deeply without the harsh, drying effects of chemicals — and is perfectly safe for eco drains and septic tank drainage systems.
• Medium to Heavy Duty, All Applications: Reinol Flax is specially effective at removing Oil, Grease, Inks, Paints, Bitumen Marks, Fibre-Glass Resins, Graphite, Tree Sap, Stains, and General Dirt without any harm to the skin.
• Unique Wood Flour Scrubbing Technology: Reinol's own specially formulated wood flour scrubbers provide a thorough, gentle but effective cleansing action — digging out soiling without the micro-tearing caused by harder abrasives. Unlike pumice or silica, wood flour breaks down naturally, making it ideal for eco-sensitive drainage environments.
• Cosmetic Grade Ingredients & Re-Fating Oils: Reinol Flax is fortified with cosmetic re-fating oils and skin-nourishing ingredients that moisturise and condition the skin while it cleans — delivering the unique Reinol "after feel" that users come back for.
• Quick-Acting & Concentrated: With 85% active ingredients and a highly concentrated paste formula, a mere teaspoonful is all you need — making it one of the most cost-effective hand cleaners for high-volume industrial usage.
• Biodegradable & Eco-Friendly: Tough on automotive grime but kind to the planet, utilizing biodegradable natural ingredients that won't harm your drainage system or the environment.
