How to get your hands clean easily

Hi, I started to paint with oil-paint to get my right hand back to function again after a stroke. It was hard to use the brush during the whole painting so I had to use my fingers instead.

My hands were full of paint when the painting was finished and it was hard to get clean again.
Then I thought that oil-paint has oil in it so I tried to use olive-oil from the kitchen and I rubbed it into my hands and then I washed it out in the sink with soap and water and my hands were totally clean.

It even works to take oil on a piece of cloth and rub it anywhere you get paint, for example brushes, trousers, floors, table etc.
Good luck with the oil.
