I live with one of these. This is going to sound CRAZY, but seriously: tell him to just sit around kneading a hunk of WHITE CHEESE. About any light colored clay will work to pull the dirt/grime/black gunk out of all the creases and cracks in his hands, but the oils in cheese will also rehydrate and condition his skin. The cheese will be inedible afterward though. :-) Follow this up with a paraffin dip and a long massage with some Glysolid (X-BF is a firefighter, he used to stop by the salon occassionally just to dip and grab the glysolid, swore the glysolid was the only thing that helped with his hands!) Blue Cross cuticle remover will also help with tough stains, but it's not somethig he can just steep in. Start with the cheese, then get a manicure.
