Fukortsin is an effective drug for disinfecting wounds, ulcers of various origins and abrasions. Its characteristic crimson color is given by an antimicrobial dye – fuchsin. The period of its disappearance from the skin depends on the number of layers applied. On average it takes 5-6 days. But if necessary, you can try to wash Fukortsin stains from skin, furniture and other surfaces using folk methods.
Household chemicals for removing fucorcin stains
White.
This chemical bleach removes any dye. But it is very strong and toxic, so it is not suitable for painted surfaces. Can be used for white things and objects - window sill, window frame, table top. Do not use on skin to avoid burns. To remove stains, apply a few drops of bleach to a cotton pad and wipe away the stain.
Dishwashing liquid.
This is a safe method that will help remove fresh stains. Can be used on leather, furniture and fabrics. Apply a little gel to the sponge and rub it over the painted area. Then wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
Dentifrice.
Soft abrasives do an excellent job of removing dirt. Sprinkle some powder onto the surface, dampen a brush or sponge in clean water and scrub. Periodically add a new portion of powder. Finally, rinse the surface with clean water.
Antistatic.
Suitable for removing old traces of fucorcin that have already begun to fade. Spray an antistatic agent onto the stain and wipe it with a cotton pad, bandage or rag. Repeat the procedure until the contamination is completely removed.
How to Remove Pink Stains from Teeth
Do not open medication bottles with your teeth as they may become stained. We clean tooth enamel in the following ways:
- Mix baking soda (1 tbsp) with freshly squeezed lemon juice (1/2 citrus). Apply the resulting mass to a toothbrush and carefully remove traces of the drug.
- Instead of lemon juice, use a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. After cleaning your teeth, rinse the solution thoroughly.
Cosmetical tools
Hand cream.
Penetrating into the skin, it dilutes the coloring pigment fucorcin and accelerates its removal. Apply a little cream to the skin and wait until it is absorbed. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times a day.
Baby milk.
Apply the product to the scarlet stain and wait 10–15 minutes. Wash off the composition with warm running water and soap. If it is not possible to wash your hands, wipe your skin with a damp cloth.
Eau de Toilette.
Eau de toilette contains alcohol, which will dissolve the coloring pigment. To remove a stain, soak a cotton swab or pad in eau de toilette and dab onto the stain.
Micellar water.
To deal with stains, apply micellar water to a cotton pad and rub the stained area. Repeat the action several times until the stain disappears.
How long does fucorcin stay on the skin?
Many people are interested in the question of how long it takes for fucorcin to be washed off. This depends on the skin type, the constituent components of the substance, the density of the stain and other factors. Fukortsin instantly turns the skin bright pink and cannot be washed off with water, so you need to use special products.
When performing procedures with fucorcin, hands should be protected with rubber gloves.
Without cleansing, the substance itself will come off in about five days. This period can be increased or decreased depending on how many times fucorcin was applied. For example, if you reapply an antibacterial agent to an old stain, it will take about ten days for complete removal.
Pharmacy drugs
Medical alcohol.
Pure alcohol (76% or 96%) is suitable for treating furniture, clothing and floors. For skin, use an alcohol solution - 40–50%. Soak a cotton pad in alcohol or alcohol solution and rub the stain. Treat your skin with baby cream to protect it from drying out.
Chlorhexidine.
Has a slight whitening effect, so use with caution on colored materials. To get rid of traces of fucorcin, soak a cotton pad in chlorhexidine and rub the contaminated area.
Hydrogen peroxide.
Apply a little peroxide to the stain and wipe it with a cotton pad. Repeat the procedure if necessary. Before you start processing fabric, test the product on an inconspicuous area - peroxide can ruin the unstable dye.
Acetylsalicylic acid.
To remove the pigment, prepare a solution. To do this, crush an Aspirin tablet and add it to 50 ml of water. Apply the composition to the painted area of skin, furniture or clothing and wait until the trace of fucorcin fades. If traces remain, repeat the procedure 2-3 times.
How to wash fukortsin from clothes
How to wash fukortsin from clothes as safely as possible for the fabric:
- If the item is white, then with care for the fabric, soak it in white. This will not only remove red stains from your clothes, but will also give them a brighter white color.
- If the item is not white, but of a different color, then you should try laundry soap. They say that they can even wash away sins. Wet and rub with laundry soap, then leave for some considerable time.
- Soaking in a bleach solution without chlorine. This is an inexpensive and effective stain remover for colored items. But you can also use a more expensive and effective stain remover, for example, Vanish.
- If you still can’t remove the stain, then there is another way. It will not remove the stain, but will make it invisible. A solution of aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid will help discolor this substance.
When such problems occur with this substance on clothing, they usually instinctively begin to wash the item they have dyed in the washing machine. It is undesirable to do this if, in addition to this thing, there are others, because the entire batch of laundry will take on some of this color.
Traditional methods

Cleaning linoleum
Using this drug, you can accidentally spill it on the floor, for example, on linoleum. Floor coverings are cleaned of fucorcin using chlorine-containing products.
Chlorine bleach or even a toilet sink, such as Domestos, will work as a cleaning agent. With such products, fucorcin is washed off instantly, but you should work with them very quickly so as not to spoil the color of the linoleum.
Less effective, but safer for linoleum stain remover "Vanish". They can also wash off the medicine, but it is unlikely to be done the first time.
Linoleum and laminate flooring can also be easily cleaned with baking soda. You just need to sprinkle a little baking soda on the moistened stain and wipe the stained area with a sponge. Use this method carefully so as not to damage the coating with scratches.
Rules for cleaning different surfaces
How to wash fucorcin from skin.
Traces of the drug will disappear when the wound heals and the crusts peel off. You should not treat damaged areas of the skin - you can cause an infection or slow down healing.
To remove traces of dye, use lemon juice, alcohol, salicylic acid, or tooth powder. Rough skin (for example, on your hands) can be rubbed harder - this way you will get results faster. After treatment, do not forget to lubricate your skin with moisturizer.
Facial skin is more sensitive, so do not use alcohol-containing or abrasive substances for cleansing. For oily skin types, lemon juice is suitable; for dry and normal skin types, micellar water, baby milk, and hydrogen peroxide are suitable.
Children's skin is very delicate, so you will need a gentle product that will not cause irritation or allergies. The best solution is to wait until the pink marks go away on their own. If you need a quick effect, then treat the skin with vegetable oil, baby soap or cream.
From hair.
Mix ammonia and olive oil (1:1) and apply the solution to the strands. Wait 10 minutes, then wash your hair with shampoo. On light hair, the marks will be especially noticeable, so the procedure will have to be repeated 2-3 times.
Zubov.
If you have stained your tooth enamel, a regular whitening paste will help. If the remedy does not help, brush your teeth with a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice.
Clothes.

- Choose gentle ingredients for your skin, and apply a moisturizer after the procedure.
- Test cleaning products on inconspicuous areas of clothing and furniture to avoid damaging the material or color.
- Cosmetics act gently and do not cause harm to the skin and other surfaces. But the effect of use is not too strong, so the procedure will have to be repeated many times.
- In the fight against fucorcin, all alcohol-based pharmaceutical products (disinfectants) are suitable.
Interesting Facts
Previously, fukortsin was used to mark the skin of patients with cancer in order to more accurately determine the areas that will be exposed to irradiation.
Later, the drug began to be used to indicate the area where the incision would be made during surgery. This is explained by the fact that Fukortsin not only intensely stains the skin, but also acts as a powerful antiseptic, preventing infection of the incision site.
Currently, Fukortsin is used extremely rarely due to the fact that it is difficult to wash off the drug, but it is used as a dye for felt-tip pens and in wall painting. When Castellani paint is mixed with a solution of brilliant green, a rich and very durable black-blue color is formed.
Floor cleaning
If fucorcin is accidentally spilled on the floor, the main thing is to start removing the stain as soon as possible. It all depends on what kind of coating is stained.
The dye can be easily removed from linoleum with formic alcohol. You need to pour a little product onto the stain, let it sit for half a minute, then wipe with a soft sponge. Aggressive bleaches do not clean linoleum; faded spots may remain on it.
You can remove dirt from a carpet, carpet or carpet using a stain remover. Since fucorcin is very corrosive, the stain remover can be used undiluted. Vanish is popular among consumers.
Another effective remedy for carpets is a mixture of ammonia and laundry soap foam 72.5%.
Clean varnished wooden floors or parquet with baking soda and a hard sponge.
Unvarnished parquet is the hardest to clean. The dye eats into wood that is not protected by any coating so firmly that the only way to remove the stain is to call a professional to sand the top layer.
