I’m a female mechanic

A FEMALE mechanic has shown how to stay clean performing oil changes, one of the dirtiest tasks that members of the profession perform.

The auto technician began her trick using a bolt wrench to loosen a vehicle’s oil drain plug.

Next, Autodoc’s (@autodoc.eu) TikTok video displayed the female mechanic wrapping a zip tie loop around this drain plug before tightening the strap.

The talented technician then turns the end of her zip tie counterclockwise to loosen the drain plug bolt so old oil can spill.

But this isn’t the only trick mechanics can use to stay clean in the garage.

Female auto technician Kristina Madison (@kristina.madison) uploaded a TikTok clip showing how she cleans her dirty hands on the job.

Madison noted how Tub O’ Towels clean your hands, tools, and vehicle interior while lifting most stains, including grease, dirt, tar, and ink.

The caption on Madison’s video says: “I always have Tub O’ Towels in my toolbox.”

Tub O’ Towels are durable fiber weave material cleaning wipes soaked in a heavy-duty solution.

The materials in these industrial wipes are non-abrasive and can be used inside or outside your vehicle.

Complementing this non-abrasive design are lanolin, aloe vera, and vitamin E that’s gentle on the hands.

Madison highlighted that you could also use Tub O’ Towels to clean your kitchen counters, bathroom sinks, shower, and furniture.

One viewer commented on Madison’s TikTok: “Definitely need to try it.

“[I] work at one of the highest-volume Toyota [service centers] in the Midwest — I don’t have time to keep washing.”

Another TikTok viewer added their own two cents: “I love em, absolutely love em, but I also try to wear gloves since I touch tires all day.”
