How do I Remove White Out Off of Skin?

Wite-Out isn't difficult to get off your hands if you use a pumice stone.

Wite-Out, a popular liquid paper brand manufactured by Bic, isn't toxic to the skin. However, Wite-Out is stubborn and difficult to get off the skin, if you should happen to spill it on yourself. With a little extra scrubbing and a couple of household items, you can remove the product from your skin in a matter of minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Pumice stone
• Warm water
• Mild soap
• Towel

Instructions

1. Run warm water over the Wite-Out-affected area of skin.

2. Dab some mild hand soap onto your pumice stone as well as on your hand.

3. Scrub the affected area gently with the pumice stone--taking care not to irritate the skin--until the Wite-Out is gone.

4. Dry the skin with a towel.

Tips & Warnings

• Baby oil and nail-polish remover are two other ways people remove Wite-Out from their skin.

• If you accidentally ingest or inhale Wite-Out, consult a physician immediately.

• Scrubbing too vigorously with a pumice stone can lead to skin irritation.
