Does anyone know any possible way to get black walnut stains off of my hands? I shelled about 1 five gallon bucket and I have about 3 more to go. I did about a half a bucket yesterday with regular garden gloves on and my hands were a little stained. So today, I wore latex gloves like my mom suggested and now my thumbs are black and I shelled just as many.
I’ve tried soap and hot water, shampoo, face wash, WD-40, vasaline, lemon juice, salt, bleach, and lotion, all to no prevail. Any other ideas or cures??
Thank you!!

Hi Sarah;
Although I have never shelled black walnuts myself I grew up with a girl who’s family owned a walnut farm. The stain can’t be removed. It has to wear off.
how about a pair of leather gloves for the rest of those walnuts…soyour hands don’ get any blacker…
did you try peroxide..I see they use that in toothpaste to whiten teeth…
