Try soaking it in vinegar before washing. Vinegar is a natural stain remover.

Hand sanitizer removes this. It also removes sharpie and pen stains fyi I’ve leaned this the hard way too many times

I got a stamp set for my birthday once. My youngest sister got it in her hands, climbed on her bed with it and then continued to rip apart the ink pad and distribute the crumbs onto her bedding. She must have been ~3 years old back then. I was very upset at the time. And nowadays she's upset that I still like to tell that story :3

If you call your local police department they may be able to help. Bonus… you will undoubtedly make their day. 😁

From a chemical point of view: If something can not be removed you should try something else with which the soiling interacts better. So water - water with soap - water with weak acids (vinegar/citric acid) - oil - ethanol/isopropanol (alcohols) - acetone (ketones). Whereas I personally would probably leave the child dyed (after checking the composition of the dye) before resorting to acetone on the child. I would never resort to hydrogen peroxide without great need, as it simply breaks down the tissue and can cause severe (!) damage to the eye.

you also could try baking soda

Try a quick spray of Dawn Power Wash & rub hands together. Wash w/ soap & water. It's the only thing that gets the dark gel coloring from cake decorating off my hands.

use olive oil and soap on a warm wet washcloth

Lava soap

Use dish soap

teeth paste

Mr Clean eraser

Ammonia works on most inks.

My husband’s nutty aunt brought over oil based pastels and charcoal to draw with my toddlers 🤦🏻‍♀️ when she came to visit them.

Go to the nearest post office, they have stuff that is specifically for getting out the strongest inks.

Rub some olive/corn oil over her arms and hands. Next, mix some Dawn dishwashing liquid with baking soda and let her scrub away.

Handsanitizer ftw!

She'll learn

Lee Valley's "The World's Kindest Nail Brush" would greatly help with something like this. I've gotten ink stains off my hands before with one. They last for a long time too. We bought a dozen of them years ago and still haven't gone through them all.

Hand sanitizer might work. The alcohol breaks down ink.

Hair spray works too.

Caught grayscale handed.

We have here something called "green soap". It is indeed green and has the texture of heavy soapy cream with tiny abrasive grains in it. Removes everything from hands, whilst being gentle to the skin

cant blame the kid who left it out for her to find ?

Let them stay black till it wears off....or try a bit of rubbing alcohol to remove most of it.

Oh, c'mon. You can't be mad at a toddler for getting into stuff you leave in their grasp.

Try bleach and amonia mixture
