I used a lot of that green Swarfega back in the 1970's when I was stripping down and rebuilding engines & gearboxes in Morris Minors and Ford Anglia 105E's to earn a crust. I still like the smell of it. It was pretty good at removing grease from skin with minimal toxicity to it, which is not any easy task, to have both functions.
(Nowadays at work I wash my hands with Chlorhexidine or Iodine derivatives, but these are intended to kill micro-organisms and not specifically to dissolve grease).
