Cure for wine stained hands?

[NorCal]

The end of the season winemaker hands. It’s unlike car hands, where the grease/dirt will come off with scrubbing. The skin is stained. I haven’t found a solution besides letting time take care of it. This is after scrubbing with a scrubbing pad and detergent.Any suggestions?

Time is all that has ever worked for me. Oxyclean may help some.

I've never experienced this though I rinse my hands regularly, I hate sticky hands.

How about Gojo or some other pumice based cleaner? I’ve removed pine pitch with Gojo. It may be that time is the only cure. Wear it as a winemaker badge.

Thanks for the suggestions. The detergent I used to scrub was oxyclean. The pumice hand scrub is a good one and I’ll try the lemon juice.

Gojo. Multiple times over a couple of days. Need small particles to get into the micro valleys (don’t know what they’re called) in the skin.

My hands look like yours every fall. Rinsing helps. But at some point I forget and there you are.

Gloves are the solution. Preventative maintenance. Unless you hate working with gloves.

Gloves. Wear some nice leather workgloves like your a tough cowboy.
