Cinnamon Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Unbelievable. I was doing some tie-dying,& all was going well,rubber gloves on to protect my hands..... Then I came back 20 minutes later to stir it,& stuck my hands straight in the navy blue dye Result - nice tie dyed sheets & attractive navy blue hands Any tips for getting it off.....quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 err... milk? that's supposed to help with ink stains on clothes? otherwise (because we all know that won't work!) - rubbing alcohol - some gin?? a nail brush and soap?? good luck!

The Dogmother Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 You'll have raw hands after all that scrubbing Did you utter a rude word or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 It looks like I have some horrible disease And it was more that two rude words, Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 And it was more that two rude words, Clare I can imagine - the air and your hands were blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Cinnamon, try a 50/50 solution of Milton and water. Soak your hands for a minute or so and then give them a really good wash off. Might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Watch your nails though - Milton always used to make my nails split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 ..any luck with it, Cinnamon? So easy to do, a moment of distraction. If the solutions didn't work, you'll have to start a new Summer fashion. The must have fashion accessory, hands to match your handbag/clothes/eyes etc. I do hope it's gone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well,I have scrubbed them hard with my very expensive Clinique body scrub,& there has been an improvement. Its still dark around the nails though,& I have had to cut the nails all off as they were stained too Oh well,I will know for next time The duvet cover looks great though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
