I am a new painter. Painted the bathroom today. How do I get the paint off my hands?

Answer 1

First off, it is a lesson learned. Wear cheap throwaway gloves next time! Soap and water will remove latex paint. The soap that has pumice in it works faster than regular soap.

If you used oil based paint, then try a little olive oil if you don't have paint thinner.

Answer 2

If you have a gas lawn mower pour some gasoline on a cloth and wipe it off. Or go to a hardware store and purchase some turpentine or paint remover. Siphon some fuel from you auto. But be careful not to be close to any open flame or spark. If you used latex type of paint gasoline will not work. You will have to use soap and water and a lot of scrubbing.

Answer 3

water and a washcloth easily takes off latex paints in the shower/sink. oil based paints (which nobody ever uses for interior walls anymore) you will need paint thinner, gasoline, acetone, anything like that will work.

Answer 4

Get some Goo Gone or Goof Off, available at your local home improvement store.

Answer 5

Well sometimes Rubbing Alcohol will work, Finger-nail polish remover too! If you dont have neither, try washing your hands with a scrub-brush type thing!lol...

Answer 7
