Smelly Hands?

If you've been handling onions, garlic, or other smelly things, your hands can pick up the odor and keep reminding you of the fact for hours! What can you do about it?

If you have a stainless steel spoon, you can rub your hands all over it, under running water, and that will remove the smell.

You can also wet your hands with water, then get a palmful of baking soda or salt. Add enough water to make a paste, and rub your hands together like your washing them. The baking soda or salt will absorb the odor and exfoliate a bit, too!

I have heard that rinsing your hands with lemon juice after cutting garlic will remove the odor, but I haven't tried that one.
