•Instead of using harsh paint stripper to remove paint from your hands or a nonporous surface, try this natural method instead: Use olive oil and salt to loosen dried paint and gently lift it away. Start by dabbing the area with a small amount of olive oil, then sprinkle salt on top and use it as a gentle exfoliant. Add more oil and wipe away, then use a little soap and water to wash the oil mixture off. The oil helps "lift" the paint away from the surface and the salt speeds up the process.
