Even though she really liked having you on her show

Want to get rid of your fingerprints temporarily? Forget the old saw about pineapple juice: try Oust all-purpose descaler.

No, I'm not going on a demo, I'm just a bit blasé about the "Danger, irritant, avoid contact with skin" warnings on common household cleaning products.

Oust does a good job on kettles, too. In the scale department, that is; my kettle doesn't have fingerprints of its own to remove. Here endeth the commercial break.

Nope, didn't hurt at all!

Then you are rock hard and I must think of some fingerprintless crime you can commit for me!

Also, if you handle something at 60-80 degrees for a day, it does enough damage to take the fingerprints off but not enough to cause actual pain or damage to the living part of your skin underneath. I discovered this by accident during a summer job.

Oh, that's interesting. I've not heard that one before.

Then again, I suppose there aren't very many circumstances where people handle things that temperature all day, so maybe not many people have found it out.

Oh, except for people carrying hot plates, of course. I wonder if waiting staff frequently have no fingerprints.

I sense a plot idea coming on. Waiting for Murder? Death Waits for All perhaps?
