I cook using onions and garlic a lot and the smell lingers for a long time on my hands. I have heard to use lemon juice, but i dont always have that on hand. I have also heard to use salt, but I am on a salt free diet for now, so I dont have that either. What else can you use that you would have around the house?

The lemon juice works. Just buy a bottle of Real Lemon at the store. It keeps for a long time in the fridge.

I once saw a movie where the actor made pickles, and his hands smelled of garlic and onions. He soaked them in milk and vanilla.
I tried it to see if it worked. It does. Better than lemon or anything else that I've heard of.

With your hands under running water, rub anything stainless steel between and all over your hands. The smell is gone. No need to buy the "stainless steel products" out there to remove odors from your hands. Anything stainless will do, I just grap a spoon.

I've heard putting lemon juice on your hands first helps, never tried it though.

i'm Italian and that i have lengthy when you consider that gave up attempting to get the scent of off my fingers. i'm cooking for my relations. I scent the way I do. there's a set of old treatments accessible, even with the undeniable fact that it truly is purely no longer somewhat truly worth the time.

They say to touch something made of steel. The steel wool scrubby we have in our kitchen always works for me. You don't need to scrub at all just a gentle rub will do it. Good Luck and have fun cooking!

Lemon juice.
But you need a pair of cheap tools to keep contact lower in the first place; a sectioning apple corer, and a spring loaded chopper.
