Tom asked: How do I get walnut color from walnuts off of my fingers?

Berries, wood stain, grease, walnuts – they all leave marks on our hands that seem impossible to wash off. Here are a variety of household items that can be used to scrub stains off of hands.    

You Will Need:

  • Vegetable oil
  • Vinegar
  • Dish soap
  • Nail polish remover
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt and lemon juice (for really stubborn stains)
  • Dishwashing soap and baking soda
  • Toothpaste
  • Hand soap
  • Water
  • Hand lotion

Steps to Remove the Stains:

  1. Select a stain remover from the list above.
  2. Apply to the stained area on the hands and scrub.
  3. If necessary, the items can be mixed or used on their own.
  4. Once the stain is removed, wash with hand soap and warm water to remove the cleaning agent.
  5. Dry with a soft towel.
  6. If the cleaning agent used dried out your hands, apply a quality hand lotion.

Additional Tips and Advice

  • Of course if time allows, just leave the stain be. It will eventually wear off.
  • Avoid using harsh cleaners/scrubbing mixtures on facial skin as it is more easily irritated.
