For generations, Swarfega® Original has been the secret weapon for tradespeople. Battling grease, grime and the worst muck imaginable, it’s helped the hard-working tradespeople of the UK scrub up after the toughest shifts to leave a green legacy on sink edges up and down the country. But the time has come for a changing of the guard. That’s right – Swarfega® Original, the jar of green jelly that rings when it’s tapped and has that distinctive citrus smell, is officially hanging up its gloves.

But fear not: this isn’t goodbye, it’s just the start of the next chapter.
Swarfega® Steps Forward with a Bold New Range
The brand is still very much here. The same guts, the same grit from the brand that’s backed builders, mechanics, farmers and workers since 1947. Because even legends need a bit of a spruce-up now and then, we are launching a new range to carry on the legacy with unbeatable power and protection.
Built for Hands That Keep the World Working
Swarfega is known as the brand for hardworking hands. It’s seen everything – through the oil and the grit. Now, this cult-classic brand is getting a fresh new look with Swarfega® Orange stepping into the limelight – all without compromising on the power and quality that has become associated with the Swarfega® brand.
Full Scale Skin Defence System
The Swarfega® brand isn’t just a hand cleaner – it’s a full scale skin defence system. Protecting, cleaning and restoring for hardworking hands. The new line up is simple, effective and built around a clear three-step process:
- Barrier creams – prepping hands for action.
- Heavy-duty cleansers and wipes – to tackle dirt, fast.
- Moisturisers – Helping hands bounce back and be ready for tomorrow.
Oil, grease, paint, tar – whatever the job throws your way, Swarfega® products keep you working.
Smarter. Sharper. Still Swarfega
The refreshed design brings a cleaner packaging that utilise pump bottles instead of tubs, bold colour codes, on-the-go and dispenser options that cut mess, boost hygiene and help protect hardworking skin. It’s everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Built for The Next Generation
Swarfega® is more than a name, it’s part of the job, passed down generations of mechanics, tradespeople and grafters. And now, with a bold new look and an even clearer product lineup, the brand is ready to help the next generation keep working.
The new 1 litre and 5 litre Orange and Extreme products are available from May 2025, with more skin products coming in 2026. Find out more here.
