Garlic Hands...

Does anyone know a good way to get the stink of garlic out of your hands? I cooked tonight and the smells driving me mad, I've tried scrubbing but it didn't work

Supposedly, rubbing your hands over a stainless steel utensil, while rinsing with tap water is a good way to do it.

You could also try rinsing them with toothpaste.

Here's what Heloise says:

You can avoid the problem by wearing thin, disposable gloves when you handle garlic, onion, fish or other pungent foods. Here are three sure ways to get rid of that nasty smell:

* Pour a little salt or baking soda on hands and rub them together. Rinse with water.
* Squeeze toothpaste or pour a small amount of mouthwash on one palm, then rub hands together. Rinse with water.
* Rub hands across a stainless steel utensil under running tap water.

Yes, rubbing your hands on stainless steel will get that smell away, and it also works great for onion smell on your hands.

Try rubbing your hands on your sink (well if its stainless steel), and they also sell little soap - shaped bars made from stainless steel for just this task.

cheers guys! Much better, every time I smelt my hands I craved garlic bread which isn't great when I'm trying to be on a diet lmao!

At least you know the mosquitoes wouldn't be biting.
