Clean pine sap off hands ....how?

There was a couple of posts here some time ago about simple ways to cleaning pine sap of hands and I can't find it:oo: can anyone help?
Thanks

Kero or turps will be the story. Also good on axe handles if that is what you have been doing.

Thanks Murray. I also thought there was a softer option for some reason.
We read so many good ideas it is hard to keep track of them.

I use Oatmeal soap . We have Cussons Oatmeal Soap over here , maybe you do too .
It also gets the tree resin out of your hair , a common occurrence from plantation pruning .
It is the only soap I use , no need for any other

When I was a kid, we used lard........... remember lard :D

Came right off.

Cheers!

Thanks for the replies, my son and SIL are coming up on the weekend to rebuild a retaining wall for us and the sleepers are very fresh thus the request.

............ so, how do you get pine sap stains out of gloves...... :doh: :U

I've found that washing my hands using sorbolene instead of soap gets a fair selection of goo, gunk, muck, and stuff off.

Petrol removes anything even skin

Septone Orange Scrub is my new favourite hand cleaner :)

Rub Barrier Cream into your hands before you start and you will find it easier too wash hands clean when you finish.

for a couple of dollars for a pair of brick gripper gloves, I wouldn't bother trying to clean them :-)

I use a squirt of concentrated dish washing liquid, gets your hands clean very quickly. Also works well in cleaning car grease from your hands.:D

Hi. There is a natural product that has eucalyptus oil in it. Can't think of the name off the top of my head, will look when I get home. It is a sandy sort of texture (although non-abrasive), bluey/grey color, comes in a small round tub. Great for getting off paint, silicon, oil etc got it from an organic healthfood shop and it's great. I'll get the name for you.
