I've also used this trick- If your finger nails are any longer than "ground
stump" short & they load up with grease that takes you an hour to clean,
drag your nails over a bar of soap & get it packed under your nails b4 you
start; where there is soap, the grease can't get & it also (like Tom's idea)
makes cleanup start out faster.
