How Do I Remove Black Dye Stains From Hands???
Decorating By Jewels117 Updated 28 Nov 2009 , 12:31am by farmersdaughter4
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting the Americolor Super Black stains off of your hands? Every other color comes off after a few washes, but 2 days later I'm still finding some black stains that have turned purple-ish. I've tried different soaps, using exfoliators and I've tried using gloves, but they just stick to the fondant.
Any soap work for you? Or is there specifically a product out there that will remove stains?
Thank you!
I drop a Polident tablet in water and submerge my hands in there before and during the coloring ordeal. I only get messy when I airbrush. But it really works great. Even if I forget the pre rinse--still it helps a lot. Just keep it by the sink and keep submerging your fingers/hands in there as you wash your hands.

will definately remember this. even if i wear gloves, i still manage to get color all over my hands. thnks for the tip k8!
I wash my hands with a toothpaste with whitener in it. Works like a charm! 
For future knowledge:
Spray your hands w/Windex
Actually i'ts the ammonia in it that does the job.Then the 1st water that touches you should be *as hot!* as you can possibly stand.
Shampooing works for me too.
FYI, The product labeled "airbrush cleaner" is nothing more than Windex (original formula). And it works GREAT for cleaning color off skin.
Bleach is great...just pour some in some water and soak you hands. Then I wash them really well with soap and water. Just lotion really well after.
I use LOTS of lotion after work! 
I've always had great success using MINERAL OIL. You can buy a small bottle in the drug department at Walmart, drugstores, etc. Just massage the oil into the stain and then rub off using a paper towel, etc.
This is not cake related, but this same method works wonders when I spray paint an object using oil based spray paint - in addition to removing stains and paint, this method lubricates your skin - not irritating at all. For stains around the fingernails, I use a soft brush and mineral oil.
