Methylene blue

[Caliban07]

Any idea what can be used to remove this from wood work and skin?

Wood Work=IDK, skin=Time lol

Woodwork will be very difficult as it porous and soaks up MB. Skin is easy! Use either pure lemon juice or bleach and rub and scrub until its gone. Lemon juice is more forgiving and will not dry your skin out horribly. However, MB will not come off nails as its dead cells. You can try the lemon juice or bleach on the wood but don't expect great results.

In that case I am dead meat.

I got a syringe for dosing MB. After I had it on my hands, never again. Lol

Wooden floors and methylene blue do not mix.

I've got a spare room... Just in case?

Considering it's a strong enough of a dye to change the color of your eyes, I would say it's not coming out: Methylene blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Krissycakes]

Oh no! That sucks completely. Well in that case I am no help. I would just help you freak out.

Carpet......

 

[Tieberion]

Well, time to sand and restain the floors!

Carpet......

LOL!!! I did that one before! Filled up a 5g bucket and dumped blue in and set it on the nice, cream colored carpet on top of a black towel. Went to get something and came back and stepped onto the towel. Squish....there was a crack in the bottom of the bucket and I didn't notice the blue seeping out because of the black towel! My husband wants to get rid of the carpets anyway! I just gave him a better reason....

 

[Delapool]

Lol - I've got a pot plant hiding a few drops. The stuff is just an accident waiting to happen.

What is it used for?

What is it used for?

It's primarily used for staining cells in biology to view them under a microscope. But in the aquarium world it is an effective treatment for fungus as well as some bacterial problems.

Methyl blue is really stain... There's no way to remove it from stained skin, it take time. For silicon stains, it's permanent, for wood, give it time I'll say, maybe it won't go away...

I use it only when I introduce new fish, it darken the water, reduce fish visibility, so they feel more comfortable.
