Bloody Halloween! Thought I'd dye some vests black so DD and friend can be cats. Rubber gloves sprung leak and now have black hands. Any ideas?!

Lemon juice mixed with a bit of salt might help. Or maybe one of those sachets you can get for removing fake tan.

hiya! hairdressers have a solution to remove dye from hands and skin. Ask in your local one if you can have/ purchase some or go to a hairdressers supply shop.

Could try Milton (sterilising stuff) as it has a mild bleach action that is ok on skin.

Toothpaste on dry hands is often quite good at removing stains. Use a nailbrush (or a toothbrush! ) to scrub well, before adding water.

Persil powder or similar. Although leaes your hands in a bit of a mess.
