Paint Removal

If you prefer a commercial brand of sand soap, especially for removing paint from your hands - but it isn't kind to your skin - try adding a little petroleum. Clean paint-stained hands by rubbing them with cooking oil or with baby oil before scrubbing with soap and water. You'll do a better and quicker job of cleaning your hands after painting if, instead of using turpentine or other such solvents, you rub sawdust over the stubborn spots. Finish off by washing the hands as usual with soap and water.

Troubled with hands that perspire too freely? You can usually remedy the situation by bathing them with warm water and alcohol seltzer. Deodorize, and Handle with Care.
