Best way to remove fiberglass fibers from skin

Anyone that has ever worked with fiberglass in any intensive capacity is familiar with the nagging fiberglass fibers which work their way underneath your skin.  A great way to remove them:

---------Shampoo------- the ticket!



Yep, get yourself a bottle of cheap shampoo with the viscosity similar to Suave Shampoos.  These work great by the way.  After working with fiberglass, DO NOT rinse or otherwise manipulate the fibers that have landed upon your arms and hands.  You can attempt to shake off excessive fiberglass dust but go no further.





  1. Get a good sized amount in the palm of one of your hands
  2. Pat the shampoo along your arm, covering the fiberglass - do not rub the shampoo, 'Pat It On'
  3. Pat it over your entire arm in this manner
  4. Then without rubbing, scraping or otherwise doing anything to entice fibers to gain derma access - rinse the shampoo off of your arm with cold water only
The thick viscosity of the shampoo holds onto those annoying fibers lying loose all over your skin. Rinsing the shampoo with water only and not touching the shampoo during any of the process, will rinse away almost all those annoying fibers. If you were to rub in anyway, forget it....it's worked its way into your skin at that point and the shampoos will not be of much good.  Remember pat shampoo on and rinse with cold water.

I have had my arms completely covered in fiberglass many times over.  Every time, this method has worked extremely well for me.  Sometimes I may have one or two itchy spots somewhere along my arm but that is it.  This method works extremely well.
