It's a widely known fact in my house that I'm a slob .... I can't do anything NEATLY to save my life! Any time I do a cake (or like tonight....color eggs too).. I end up with very dyed hands! Short of wearing gloves when I decorate... how can I get it off??

scrub hard!! LOL

I know what you mean... it's a rare week that I don't have some sort of colours staining my hands!

I find it ususally fades in about a day or so with regular washing, but I haven't found anything that really works to get it off quickly yet!

I am not sure if it will work or not, but it sounds good. Did you try vinegar? Or rubbing alcohol?

Dawn liquid takes it right off. The only problem I have is if it gets under my nails, or in little sctratches
