Honestly I don't think you CAN get linseed oil off of anything. I know people who have found dried linseed oil paint in their hair 2 months (and dozens of showers) after leaving a jobsite. Linseed oil does one thing very well- it permeates and infiltrates most any surface it comes into contact- that is why it is such a good preservative for wood, masonry and even metal. Getting it off your skin is tough enough using paint thinners, turpentine, etc, and really you're just diluting it (oh, and it's being partially absorbed into your skin too).

How do you remove linseed oil from hardwood floor Left a sticky layer?
Hi Had the same problem. I tried the following. Mixed linseed oil and turpentine 50:50. Then painted on liberally, waited 15 minutes, scrubbed with steel wool and then wiped off with a cloth. Result: better, but not solved. Tomorrow I will try just using turpentine - although I am concerned that this might remove some of the protective oil from the wood.
