Watercolor pens can be a headache when you get them in your hands, especially for those who use watercolor pens a lot. One of the quickest and easiest ways to do this is to use white vinegar, as the pigment of the watercolor pen is soluble in white vinegar. And white vinegar is usually kept at home, so it is more convenient.
1. Use white vinegar
You can apply some white vinegar to the watercolor pen marks on your hands, and then wipe them repeatedly with a damp cloth, and the paint will fall off and stick to the damp cloth, and then rinse it off with water. Be careful not to soak white vinegar for a long time when using it, because white vinegar will have functions such as softening after a long time.
2. Use toothpaste
If you don't have white vinegar handy, you can also use toothpaste. Squeeze the toothpaste onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the watercolor pen stain. Similarly, you can start by applying some toothpaste to the watercolor pen marks on your hands and then wipe them with a damp cloth. Because toothpaste itself has a cleansing effect, and some of them also have a whitening effect, it has a considerable effect on removing watercolor pens.
3. Use nail polish remover
Another way is to use nail polish remover, as the chemical components in nail polish remover can also help remove the pigment. This method does not require a large area to be applied, but only needs to be slowly washed with a cotton swab or brush dipped in nail polish remover and slowly washed at the pigment position to dissolve.
It's important to note that watercolor pen stains are usually relatively easy to remove, but they can become more difficult to remove if they are not removed for a long time. Therefore, as soon as you notice watercolor pen stains on your hands, it's best to take immediate steps to remove them.
Finally, there are differences in the efficiency of the removal due to differences in pigments. If you're feeling little effective after using these methods and still can't remove watercolor marks, try using a professional cleaner or seek professional help.
