Soaps like Lava and Gojo have pumice in them. Because sometimes your hands need an 80 grit washing.

For real though, Gojo soap seems to work the best for getting rid of grease and oil from machines. My guess is regular soaps don't do a great job at carrying away the oil residue, but Gojo soap just sands down your top skin layer to remove it.

The pumice action definitely helps but I'm pretty sure gojo is also full of added chemicals to help the soap lift oils more effectively.

I kinda like the orange smell, too.
