    Another good way is to use baking soda and vinegar to scrub your hands.

    Oh yuck... I hate that myself!

    Lemon juice works well :)

    When I was a printer I'd get solvent on my hands frequently, they had this orange soap for mechanics that worked quite well also. Seems the citrus will cut thru that smell and remove any grease/ink as well.

    The GoJo citrus hand cleaner is great for that. Smells orangey, has a bit of grit to get off the tough stuff, dissolves oil and grease. Squirt it on, rub it around, wipe on a rag and rinse off with soap and water....gets that heavy dark molly grease off, too.

    The smell of bleach is another that's hard to get rid of.
