I cut onions with my hands and now they smell sooooo bad, how do I get the smell gone? I keep washing my hands

Answer 1

From what I've seen on cooking shows take a stainless steel item and rub it over your dry hands. The onion scent molecules are very small and attracted to the metal.

Answer 2

Couple things you can try.

First, do you have a real silver spoon? If so, hold it in your hand while running the tap water ovre your hand holding the spoon. This can help deodorize a hand that has had garlic juice on it, but I don't know if it will work for an onion stained hand.

Second, pour a little white vinegar on your dry hands. Rub it all over your hands until they are wet all over with it. Then wait a few seconds (not too long) and wash it off. That's whatI do.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

dampen your hands with water and rub salt all over them, rinse this off, do this twice and there should not be anymore onion smell on them

Answer 4

Answer 5
