Removing fingerprints from hard surfaces

[Cascadia]

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone knew of a reliable way to clean fingerprints from hard plastic surfaces, like plastic storage containers(rough totes), I'd like to use them in a outdoor grow this summer, but I don't want to leave prints. Is there a way to clean them off?

I would think any degreaser would work.... from dawn dish detergent to citrus based cleaners but I may be wrong. Gloves? Rubbing alcohol or oxy clean/bleach

Simply rubbing the containers down with a wet rag will remove or at least distort the prints. To be 100 percent safe you could wear gloves.

Gloves, way easier than rubbing down tubs. Get some latex/nitrile gloves and stick them in your pocket, they're tiny.

I will wear gloves, but the boxes have been in my possession for some time and are already compromised. I have a feeling scrubbing with dish detergent and hot water will probably do the trick, I was just curious if anyone had any special ideas.

Thanks guys!

heres what u do, u get some WEAK isopropyl alcohol (or water down some concentrated stuff) and wipe it down with a rag.

works on guns, i'm sure it works on plastic surfaces too.

(the iso is diluted as to not eat away the plastic)

iso its the only thing i use to remove them it works every time as long as u do a good wipe down you should get everything there is

theres no way to completely remove with just using liquids or wiping, unless its a acid or sand paper, because your oils actualy make the surface degrade faster and or something else like that.

But i dont know if cops ever try to lift finger prints for anything less then a murder

i know in australia they lifts prints.....usually from a ballast or something similar in grow rooms....here also they take DNA so here i'd be worried about that too.....bad prints may = DNA test?...

good question thou....had the thought myself before..

..2 layers of rubber gloves would be good....have heard 1 set can/could still leave a print....

maybe do us all a favour and google it?.....im too paranoid too in case i finally snap and kill the bitch and they cant find prints and do a search on my internet searches hahahaha

good luck...nice question .HH. =]-~

I had a grow busted in a house, my prints were all over it. They never even came looking for me, the ppl there said they never even tried to get prints... of course, they had someone to pin it on, some slob broke in and was stealing everything, neighbor called the cops. The thief got charged for the grow.

The thief got charged for the grow.

He was in possession, and the only person there. I read he admitted to it also.

The only thing I really know for certain, the house got raided, and I'm still free, with no indictments.

Please read what happened to Big Mo. If this was less than 6 months ago I would be very careful BIG Mo can tell you himself.

I read that, it sucks. Mine happened in 01.

The place I had raided was purely a grow house, I didn't live there.
