Step 2

Purchase a soap specifically created to remove material such as Easter egg dye from hands. A heavy-duty hand cleaner is a powerful agent for removing Easter egg dye because it contains pumice for easier scrubbing along with moisturizers to keep skin healthy and smooth.

Step 3

Apply toothpaste to your hands and fingers using a paintbrush, a nail polish brush, or your hand. Rub the toothpaste into your skin, scrubbing back and forth with your hand or a brush to remove the Easter egg dye.

Step 4

Rinse off the toothpaste and wipe your hands with paper towels, removing any excess toothpaste or wet Easter egg dye.

Step 5

Wash your hands with soap again and repeat the process with toothpaste if necessary until the Easter egg dye is removed from your fingers.
