How to get rid of onion smell from hands after chopping onions??

Question

Whats the best way to get the onion smell out of your hands after cutting up onions??

Answer 1

I hope you have an iron sink just was hands with dish soap and rub thema against the metal sink. If not they have a metal soap looking device that cost $5 at Walmart and you can use that.

Answer 2

I buy those bags of really thin and inexpensive throw away gloves. They look like medical latex gloves. They have a very close fit so onions are easy to chop. When you remove the gloves, because they fit so tightly, you just grab at the wrist and pull them off- they end up inside out, so you never get the onion smell on you period. Before I discovered those, I kept tomato juice on hand. Rubbing a small amount of it in your hands and rinsing them removes the worst of it. Gloves are by far better. You can get these in the cleaning isle at Wal Mart or even in the paint department or a dollar store.
