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.

RE: Removing Ink From Your Hands

You can use Rubbing Alcohol, finger nail polish remover, or toner for your face and even hair spray will get it off. :) (03/27/2007)

my hands were covered in ink I tried mineral spririts paint thinner soap then used rubbing alcohol as you suggested the alcohol sort of worked. I was working on another project with mineral oil and noticed the ink coming off my hands! Add this to your list as it did the best job. (04/08/2007)

The product "Oops!" will also work for the most part. (10/22/2007)
