When using turpentine to remove paint from your skin, do so in a well-ventilated area away from children.
Things You Will Need
-
Moisten a clean cloth with one tablespoon of turpentine. The cloth does not need to be saturated to effectively remove paint from your skin.
-
Rub the paint stained skin with the moistened cloth. The turpentine should be applied gently to prevent irritation.
-
Wash the skin with soap and cool water. The process can be repeated until the skin is entirely paint-free.
The Drip Cap
- Not all types of paint can be removed from skin with just soap and water.
- Because turpentine is flammable and an irritant to skin and eyes, it should only be used to remove paint from skin when other methods have failed.
- Wash the skin with soap and cool water.
