If you’ve experienced a printer ink or toner spill before, you know how stubborn it is to get it off your skin. If you're currently dealing with stubborn ink or toner stains, here are some tricks to help you get rid of them.

 


How to Clean Printer Ink or Toner Off Your Hands

 


1. Act Fast

If you get to the stain in time, you can manage to remove it completely, whether it's from a printer ink spill or a stubborn toner cartridge smudge. The longer the stain sits, the harder it becomes to remove. As soon as you notice the stain, don't waste any time - take action.

 

2. Wash with Soap and Water

If you have nothing else, the most straightforward way to remove ink or toner stains from your hands is by using soap and water. Soap contains surfactant that helps break down and lifts away ink or toner particles from the skin. Use a soap and scrub your hands thoroughly, focusing on the stained areas.

 

3. Try Alcohol-Based Products

If soap and water aren't working, try using an alcohol-based product such as hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol. Apply a small amount to a cotton ball or cloth and gently rub it over the stained areas. The alcohol will help break down the printer ink or toner particles, making them easier to wipe away.

 

4. Use Lemon Juice

Lemon juice, containing citric acid, is a natural stain remover that can be effective against ink or toner stains. You might have some lemons right in your fridge. Simply squeeze some fresh lemon juice onto a cotton ball or cloth, and rub it over the stained areas. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wash it off with water. If you mix it with salt, it works even better to get rid of the stains because the salt adds extra scrubbing power.

 

5. Try Oil-Based Cleansing Products

If you happen to be a makeup lover, you likely have some oil-based cleansing products. Cleansing oil or makeup remover is quite effective in cleaning the stains. Apply a bit to the stained areas, and give it a gentle massage. The oil will do its job, dissolving the stain from your skin and making it easier to wash away.

 

6. Repeat if Necessary

If the above tricks don’t work at first, try again. Stubborn stains require some patience. Repeat the steps above as needed until the stain is gone.
