hi just got a new set of ladders but as they are new they seem to be coated in a sort of grease that causes them to be very slippery and  my hands are black after i've finished because the grease and alluminium. Have youhad this before, what can I do to remove it?



Thanks In Advance!

I use soapy water to get that off and a sponge removes most if it then hose it off. might have to do it twice tho

I'm pretty sure that all alloy ladders go that way, I think it's the aluminum being oxidized. So even if you wash them give it a few weeks and they will be greasy again.

I had the same problem. I took them to the local garage car jet  wash and cleaned it off with no problems

Thorough clean with soapy water. Don't forget inside the end of the rungs as these are often particularly greasy, and our fingers get in there too!!
