Find a metal object, any metal (stainless, aluminium, etc.), and let the tap flow on your hands whilst rubbing your highly-scented fingers along the metal object. The carbon compounds in the metal neutralises the odour. I have an old, very dull knife sharpening rod that I use for just this purpose. Just rub away the odour.

Strangely enough, if you rub your hands on the metal taps in your kitchen, you should be able to get rid of the smell. Also, Lakeland do a little metal egg, which is used for the same purpose. It really works!

Rub a piece of stainless steel on your hands or if you have a stainless steel kitchen sink just run your hands around the sink then wash them with soap and water. There will be no smell.

Rub your fingers on stainless steel, I don;t know how, but it works. Before you use garlic, rub a little oil on you fingers.

chewing parsley gets rid of the garlic breath so rubbing your fingers with parsley before washing with lemon\water should do the trick.
Next time wear disposable gloves

Open a tin of tuna and stir the contents with your garlic fingers, I guarantee that they will no longer smell like garlic!!

rub salt on them, it works for onions so should work for garlic as well. After rinsing the salt off rub fingers on stainless steel taps and all will be gone.

In the 'How clean is house' book, aggie and her friend suggest to rub your fingers on the tap! Not under the tap, on the steel! Never tried tho! Good luck! xxx

I truly have a metal "bar of cleansing soap". that's made only for that. that's no longer cleansing soap, that's in simple terms metal. in case you rub your fingers with it like a ordinary cleansing soap bar, it takes away the garlic scent.
