My combination works well for me, maybe not so well for others. First off, I wear (blue)nitrile gloves when I'm in either the electric or the mechanical shops. And often with the wood and blacksmith work. But my hands are big, as in "extra large" is a barely fit, fingers too short big. I've been told they were called "pianist hands". I can span a basketball with one hand big.
But the nitrile lasts well enough in the palms and wrists. Then I have a "bucket" of scrubs near the door to catch where the nitrile gloves gave way. And then I put in stainless plumbing in the kitchen. Wife keeps "Dawn" or somelike in a dispenser.
Further considerations are that the kitchen and washing machine drain through a grease trap, lavatories and bathtub drain into the "garden". Only the toilets drain into a cess pool. Codes be damned, they are minimums, not standards.
The grease trap on the kitchen drains and the stainless plumbing I put in because I live a dirty life. Although an engineer, I'm not really "into" the job unless it's greasy dirty. Called "earning my keep", to quote Pop.

My question is what have others found as a good way to keep hands clean in a shop without running water?
