Cleaning Tip: Removing Food Coloring from Skin

Today I made playdough with my boys. Unfortunately I didn't have any gloves and I mixed food coloring into the dough by hand. My hands looked awful afterwards - kind of like a kindergartner got into a bunch a markers. I tried various methods of removing the food coloring, but nothing worked. I even bathed and scrubbed my hands in salt and vinegar. That made my hands extremely smooth, but they remained rainbow colored. As a last resort I picked up a new Magic Eraser from my cleaning supplies and started scrubbing my hands. It worked like a charm! So if you ever get food coloring on your hands use a Magic Eraser to get them clean again.
