What can completely remove engine oil from hands?
1 Answers
Here are methods to remove engine oil from hands: 1. Method 1: Engine oil is a mixture of several alkanes and is an organic substance. According to the principle of 'like dissolves like', organic substances can be used to dissolve engine oil. However, it's best to choose an organic substance that is also soluble in water to avoid secondary pollution. 2. Method 2: The most convenient option is to use alcohol, which can dissolve both organic solvents and water. The higher the alcohol concentration, the better, with anhydrous alcohol being the best. Alcohol can be purchased at pharmacies or chemical stores. 3. Method 3: If the stain is oily and doesn't absorb water, 'fight oil with oil'—use a soft cloth or cotton swab dipped in gasoline to wipe, allowing the oily substance to dissolve in the gasoline and then transfer to the cloth.
