How do i get red food colouring off my hands?

Answer 1

OK we know what you were doing. By any chance do you now have red hair?

Oh the joys of Comic Relief. Your scalp will also be red. good luck in getting it out and watch where you get it when you wash your hair.

Answer 2

the way i did it? ispat on my hands and rubbed them together, then ran it under some warm water whilst scrubbing with the scouring-part of a sponge.

its food colouring, you're best bet is to use gentle biological detergent to break it down, the most readily available source being saliva.

over about 3 day's it'll wear off naturally by your skin shedding and replacing itself ( as happens all the time) but you can speed the process up by using plenty of wawrm/hot water and using something like a scouring pad to gelan off some of the reddened skin.

as for advice for next time? use a pair of disposable gloves =)

Answer 3

You got caught out making red food for red nose day? - me too. I just used loads of detergent & although my hands were a bit pink last night, they are fine today.

Answer 4

a lemon and baking soda paste should do the trick. Do you know what red food coloring is made from? Crushed cochlear beatles-google for more details

Answer 5

Scrub your hands with sligg. The smell might make you feel sick though.
Bleach will work but make sure to dilute it becuase it's very harsh to soft skin like hands. Moisturise lots afterwards.
