Deb Group, an away-from-home skin care company, announced the official launch of its KrestoGT heavy-duty automotive hand cleansers. The brand was previewed last November at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX)and is now available to the market.

Engineered exclusively for automotive professionals, KrestoGT products effectively remove heavy grease, grime, oil, adhesives, tar and paint, yet are fine tuned to be easy on the hands. The complete KrestoGT product line includes Orange Boost and Cherry Turbo Heavy-Duty Hand Cleansers, Power Wipes and Cherry Scrubbing Wipes, Paint Shop Heavy-Duty Hand Cleansers, and Wall Dispenser.

“It’s no secret that working in an automotive setting like a garage or repair shop can be really tough on your hands,” said Michael Bogdanski, CEO of Deb North America. “The automotive industry is flooded with low quality hand cleaners that are often formulated with harsh ingredients that frequently leave mechanics, technicians and do-it-yourselfers with irritated, often painful and cracked skin. This can lead to costly down time or in the worst cases workers’ compensation claims that can cost thousands.  KrestoGT products offer a better way.”

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that occupational skin disorders, such as dermatitis, are the most common type of workplace illnesses. This can have a huge impact on shop productivity and profitability.  KrestoGT products help combat the issue of occupational dermatitis with skin-friendly, VOC/CARB compliant formulas that include natural, biodegradable walnut shell and cornmeal scrubbers. The formulations are skin compatible making KrestoGT products the safer and more sustainable choice for automotive professionals.
