Tips on how to wash paint off your hands

Some people do it themselves when renovating their houses, while others have to come into contact with paint when they need to work outside. You should know that paint is very difficult to wash off your body, especially after the paint dries. It is also difficult to clean it off with your hands bit by bit. When your hands are covered with paint, you should pay attention to how to clean it.

Cleaning solvent-based paint

Immediately wipe it with a cloth or cotton ball dipped in gasoline, kerosene or thinner, and then wash it with a detergent solution. If it gets stained with water-soluble paint (such as water-soluble paint, latex paint) and household interior wall paint, it will come off immediately by washing with water.

Contamination with paint or asphalt

If the time is not long and the dirt has not solidified, you can use turpentine (or benzene and gasoline, etc.) to rub and wash it. For old stains (that have solidified), first soak them in a mixture of ether and turpentine (1:1). After the stains become soft (about 10 minutes), rub them with gasoline or benzene, and finally rinse them with clean water.

You can first scrape off the asphalt with a knife, soak it in carbon tetrachloride (available at pharmacies) for a while, or rub it in hot water to remove it.

Remove stains such as paint or asphalt

You can also soak it in 10-20% ammonia water (or add half the amount of turpentine as ammonia water) or 2% borax solution, and then wash it after it dissolves. Another method is to immerse it in benzene or toluene, dissolve it and then wash it.

Nylon fabric stained with paint

You can first apply lard and rub it, then soak it with detergent and rinse it with water. Use gasoline or other thinners to clean it. Nail polish remover can also work well and has a fragrance.

Apply a little medicated oil on the stain, rub it several times with both hands, the paint will fall off, and then wash it with clean water. The cleaning power of Fengyoujing is comparable to that of gasoline, and its fragrance is not as unpleasant as gasoline's odor.
