Okay girls here's the thing I have a son who recently left the military and is now working construction as a civilian I have an issue with his nails oh my goodness they're so dirty I need to know what I can use to help his nails get cleaner.

Sometimes their nails get stained up. Have you tried fast orange and a nail brush?

Try lava soap my hubby is in the air force n works on jet engines and his hands and clothes are always soaked in jet fuel! the lava soap has pumice in it which just absorbed all the dirt and grease and his hands are good as new if he scrubs them good - I have a dirty fingernail pet peeve too so clean fingernails are a must in my house! :P.

Well if they're dirty from the construction then it's going to be really hard to clean, my dad was an iron worker for 20 years and he never had clean nails. Not to mention he would come home with burns and open gashes. It's a mainly world in the construction industry so I think it's fine if he comes home with dirty nails... Just clean what cha can then leave em alone. But I the child of a purebred "I'm a man" type of guy so yeah... Haha.

Well he's got an interview to work for law enforcement, the construction job was only while he was in transition from military to civilian life,it was not a career he wants..that's part of the reason I needed ideas to get the dirt off his nails,and what we did was a success, oxy clean laundry boost he's nails are nice and clean and as they say will pass inspection :-) :-)

I don't think its manly to have dirty nails sorry its my personal feelings,the first thing I notice about a man are his nails teeth and hair.it shows proper grooming, and care for ones self,its just not acceptable in my life,but to each there own.again just my personal feelings:-)
