I don't care what anyone says. The Diluted Beach is the Best. I just got the blue toner Ink off my hands after trying Alcohol, soaps, cleaners, etc. Thank goodness I saw this site. Bleach is king!

400 grit wet/dry automotive sandpaper (use it wet) works great and you're hands will feel as smooth as a baby's cheek!

THANK YOU! Used my pen the wrong way and boy did it make a mess! Guess I won't do that again; and if I do, I'll know how to clean it up. Thanks so much! :)

First time ink jet cartridge re filler, didn't follow directions, no gloves, lots of ink on hands, paint thinner no good, goop automotive hand cleaner not much, diluted bleach fantastic and cheap. Thanks for the heads up.

Many Blesssings! I had cartridge ink on my hands. I tried rubbing alcohol it didn't work. Bleach took it off instantly. Make sure you dilute and wash hands afterwards. Thanks again. 9/1/08

Bleach is the ticket for getting computer ink off you hands.

The rubbing alcohol suggestion worked like a charm. If I had known about this in college, I would have had a lot more fun. Thanks so much.

Depending upon how much and if it is in patches (like a pen bursting on one area of your skin, or like stripes...I say Hand Sanitizer works wonders. I sometimes write things on my hand when I am not near any paper, and the Sanitizer gets it off straight away. I have heard Lava soap works, GOOP (and its cousins) works. Just be sure if you have sensitive skin that you test on a small area first.
Also, what kind of ink? India ink (like calligraphy ink) or ball point ink, etc. Also, Hints From Heloise may help, too. Sometimes she has tips that are really great. The ladies from 'How Clean Is Your House' usually give non chemical alternatives, too. (Those houses are disgusting, but the women are a hoot and smart...not only chem free ideas, but if you have asthma or other health problems, they are good for ideas). Good luck.

Hair spray supposedly takes off ballpoint pen ink. Full-strength bleach takes off computer printer ink quickly. Wash your hands thoroughly after using the bleach and use lots of hand lotion to restore the moisture.

Either hand lotion or baby wipes will usually get it off, if you HAVEN'T washed your hands.
