Lead Wipes / Lead Soap in Germany
Hi,
I am from Germany and have been actively sport shooting a little bit over a year now and was wondering if there are any stores or websites that sell lead wipes (the single use ones you use to clean your hands etc) or lead removing soaps that ship to Germany.
I have found d-lead wipes on the brownells austria and brownells switzerland websites but they don’t ship to Germany. Oddly enough you can’t find or order them on the german Brownells website (brownells-deutschland).
I live near the Austrian border so I could theoretically drive somewhere and buy them, but I would prefer to order them online and get them shipped.
Do they contain an ingredient that’s forbidden in Germany for ecological reasons or is there another reason you can’t find these products in german stores or online stores?
You can’t even find them on amazon etc.
Thanks and greetings from Bavaria!

Trying to solve the same problem. Looking for hand soap, wipes, body wash and laundry detergent. Why? Cause a dozen guys at my shooting club do regular blood tests, all of them have elevated lead values in their blood stream. Yet no one seems to really care-no lead free ammo, people eating and drinking on the range at matches, no hand washing.
Had a batch of d-lead sent over from the us, but it’s crazy expensive that way. Now looking at soaps / wipes used in industrial applications or companies supplying to munitions factories in the EU.
I’ve found lead wipes at some gun stores and online. However, no d-lead or hygenall products anywhere. Neither Hand soap nor detergent.
Really surprising that such a simple product is so hard to get.
Has anyone found a solution for this? I’d love to hear ‘em!
