Ink is really tough to clean off your hands especially blue or black ink. So, don’t let it get dry on your hands, use running water and then right away rub your hands with windex. Then wipe them with a paper tower. Absolutely clean hands.
Whatever is in hairspray, either aerosol or pump, will dissolve ink. Simply spray it on, let it sit for a moment and wash off. If you have ever had a toddler write all over their legs, you’ll appreciate this and so will they!
I’ve found a good way to take off ink or marker from skin is to use Lava soap beacuse it is slightly gritty. If you don’t have a bar, try sprinkling a little powdered cleanser on soapy area and mix.
use hairspray, it works….or use a greasy lotion, then wipe off with a baby wipe, they work
I’ve heard about a gel that removes ink. Has anyone ever used a gel and do you know the name of it?
Yahoo answers said dishwashing liquid and sugar and that works quite well. Plus it cleaned my silver ring too.
Alcohol works great to remove ink and it doesn’t leave any stickiness behind like hairspray does.
I have used both rubbing alcohol and hairspray for stubborn ink stains. Both work well and hairspray is great for taking marker off of things it doesn’t belong on.
I have used baby oil to remove printer ink. The oily texture breaks up the ink and also leaves your skin baby soft.
Don’t get ink on your hands, But if you do, Use hairspray (:
how to remove ink from a wood floor?
my teacher gave me stamp ink. iy spilled on the floor and i donot know how to remove it. plzz help me.
How??
how long does it take to wash it off(both hairspray and / alcohal
??????????????????
Acetone
from hard surfaces (glossy painted metal that you don’t wont to scratch) acetone (main ingridient in nail polish remover) works quite well – even on dried up ink – just spray it on and wipe. The wipe has to be pretty saturated though and make sure you USE it IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. And it WILL REMOVE your fingernail POLISH!
Read Acetone instructions very carefully! It will melt foam cups, may damage wood finish and some plastics. However, Nail polish is very cheap. Good Luck! (now i’m gonna go and test that alcohol idea)
Great!!
Acetone and hair sprays worked very well with me. Baby oil was so so. Thank you guys for sharing these ideas!

Best way to clean ink
Soft Scrub with Bleach is the best way to clean ink from hands. I tried everything else and nothing worked.
Soft Scrub removed ink immediately.
Soft Scrub
Soft scrub helps tons! i just used it and now my hands are marker free!
BLEACH
I tried everything, paint thinner, hair spray, lava, THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS BLEACH. IT TOOK IT ALL OFF RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!!!
Baby oil
Used it today to take off a temporary tattoo and it worked great!
well to start off lemon and hairspray should take most off then get a foot scrubber or sandpaper and rub the ink part and thats you
p.s if that does not work then try bleach Hope this works for u as much it did me.
Baby oil VS. Hair spray
My 3 yr old son came walking into the kitchen, naked and covered in black. He had gotten a hold of a black ink pad.
He seriously looked like a Chimney Sweet. Because of the young skin I did not want to use bleach or soft scrub etc. I did try hairspray…didn’t do a thing. Got out the baby oil and it took about 95% off. The hands were pretty difficult but I got enought off that I could take him out in public again.
Windex OK, Bleach much better.
I tried several chemicals to remove ink from my hands without success, and finally after reading the above comments I used Windex and Bleach. The bleach (dilluted) worked great. Remember to wash you hands with plenty of soap and water afterwards to get the bleach off of your hands.
How do you get ink out!!!!!!AAAHHHHH >=(
During class I bent this pen and it exploded all one my hands, I mean all over. My fingers went BLUE!!!! How do I get it out!!! HELP !!! (also under my finger nails)

I CANT GET IT OFF
i got ink on my fingers from my inky pen and ive tried everything and it wont come off and i dont want to use bleach becasue bleach is VERY bad for your skin
Nail polish
i was just trying to make a homemade marker and i spilled ink every where and on my hands. Then i tried nail polish remover and it worked great but just make sure to wash your hands after then put some lotion on because they can get really dry and sandy.
Toothpaste removes ink
One time I was using a marker and the ink got all over my hands. I tried soap and dish soap but it didn’t work. Then I used toothpaste, and it worked!
wash of printer ink
To wash of printer ink you will need Windex a sponge but (No Hair Spray) Because when my aunt tried it and it did not
work it take not so long to wash it of and make sure that
it doesn’t dry out so you have to do it right away also soap
does not work for this its not so powerful enough for this kind of situation this all works because when my aunt had this kind of accident when she was fixing the printer her
hands became black. Windex and sponge works!
Bleach
Printer Ink!!!
Tried – Soap/ Windex/ Goof Off/ Alcohol/ then FINALLY got to the bleach post – used Clorox clean up – came right off!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Yippee!
when all else fails, go for the bleach
Trying to use ink refill, did not go well. Hands were covered in black ink. Tried everything people listed to remove ink. Nothing would remove the ink on my hands. I finally put a little bleach in my hands because I could not think of anything else to try. It all came right off. So, if all else fails, go for the bleach. Just make sure to wash your hands very well with soap and water afterwards.
toothpaste saved me!
I was drawing cute faces on my fingers like a 7 year old, I then decided to take it off but even with lots of soap i couldnt. I tried alcohol, nail polish and hairspray but it didn’t work. Then I tried toothpaste and it worked great! Tomorrow I have a really important exam, toothpaste saved me!
Go Bleach!!!
I was tryin to fix my printer and got blue and black ink all over my hands! :@. S o i tried water and soap, hairspray, alcohol,dish soap and sugar, BUT NOTHING WORKED!! So finally i trid bleach…. and what do u know, my ink was instantly gone. (P.S. now my hands smell horrible, LOL.)
I found that using a foot scrubby thing for dry skin works really well for ink. So, try that. Good Luck!

Clorox Bleach Magic
Getting black ink on my hands filling my ink jet cartridge never bothered me, it always washes off after time. But today I have to go out with family. I tried hand soap and a brush, Go-Jo Orange, but it was still in the pores of my skin. But when I tried bleach, I poured it on, turned my head for a second and it was like magic, NO MORE INK!
Bleach Works!!
I tried dish washing liquid and sugar, windex, regular soap, peroxide, alcohol, greasy lotion…only bleach worked!!!
