Remove Berry Stains From Hands With Lemon Juice
Most berries, while tasty, can stain your hands. A little lemon juice, alone or in combination with other substances, can help get your hands back to normal without the need for any solid cleansers.
Whether you pick berries, cook or bake with berries, or just enjoy a snack, your hands and nails will get dirty. You can wear gloves, but then you also lose a little dexterity and sensitivity. Mrs. Wedge of House Cleaning Central suggests using fresh lemon juice. Cut the lemon in half, make several cuts in each wedge, then stick your fingertips in there to absorb a little. After that, sprinkle your hands with salt – to make them abrasive – and then wash them as usual. Alternatively, Mavis of the One Hundred Dollars a Month gardening blog suggests mixing lemon juice with a little cornmeal to form an abrasive paste that can be rubbed over all hands. It works with all kinds of berries, so you’ll never get caught red-handed. However, if there is something else on the stains, you need to find a different approach.
