Stains from Black Walnuts - Please Help
I was picking and halving walnuts, and my hands got dark brown from
tannin in walnut's shell. Please, is there any effective agent to remove dark stains off the hands ? I tried with acetone, alcohol, lighter fuel, paint thiner, windex, washing soap, laundry detergent, but it didn't help. Thank you. |

You could try scouring powder and washing up liquid, rubbed neat into the
hands, removed most things which stain. And then washed off. Or you could try, "Swarfega" Original Gel Rapid Hand Cleaner.

My brother and I used to pick these to eat. I know of no way to
remove the stains short of bleach, and in this case I'm not sure that it's actually removing the stains or removing skin. The bark of this tree can be used for tanning leather and the nuts and husks for dyeing it. It's potent stuff. --arne "Clemens" wrote in message ...

Hope it helps |

SOS pads, or similar. Just don't hurt yourself too much.

Except I wasn't kidding about the brillo/SOS pad. Very light abrasion
to remove outer layers of skin (and discoloration) without breaking the skin works very well. I've done this for years after picking blackberries, staining wood, etc. Rob |
