Well, there are chemicals you can use to remove it from the foam applicator, but these chemicals aren't designed to remove the stuff from your hands. The best thing ti do is to wear gloves when applying the foam. If you look at how to clean the Hilti foam applicator, there is a cleaning canister you connect to the applicator to remove foam from the inside passages to the applicator. Once you have cleaned the tool inside, you can spray some of the cleaner on a rag and scrub the outside of the applicator.
But if you get this foam on our hands, good luck trying to get it off. I have used Goyo hand cleaner with pumice, plus a 3M green scrubbing pad to remove it off my hands, and most comes off.
pine sol does work for aftermath residue, but the thing is u have to wipe/wash like every item u ever touched cuz the foam is on them, faucets, door handles, cell phones, etc, its crazy
i wonder what others do, they just deal with it all their life or someth? cuz its never gon wear off by itself from certain things so then u just gon keep getting it on your hands when you touch them
it is amazing how concentrated it is, i got it on my hands back and forth indirectly from items mentioned above
The good news is there are chemicals which dissolve urethane foam. The bad news is they're things like methylene chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Probably carbon tet would work too. Any of them the cure is worse than the disease. (DMSO tends to be easily absorbed by skin, and brings anything dissolved in it along with it. You don't want that. The others are toxic and carcinogenic)
On cloth all you can do is let it cure and scrape the surface. On other surfaces I have had reasonable luck with spray carburetor cleaner or brake parts cleaner.

I had the little tube come off, and it all blew back on both hands. I finally got it off after hours of applications of rubbing alchol and them dawn dishwashing detergent, then repeat. I did use it on the door since the siding is nailed on so tight it can't be repositioned, but otherwise avoid the stuff.
