How to Remove Garlic Smell from Hands
Quick and Easy Techniques
Salt and Baking Soda
Pour approximately 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of baking soda in your hand. Add a tiny bit of water and rub your hands together until the paste forms. Rinse your hands thoroughly with warm water.
Soap and Lemon
Wash your hands with soap and water. Cut a lemon in half and rub it all over your hands. Rinse your hands with cool water.
Stainless Steel
Rub your hands on a stainless steel object, such as a knife or spoon. The sulfur compounds in garlic will react with the metal and neutralize the odor.
Green or Cinnamon Tea
You can also drink some green or cinnamon tea. The antioxidants in the tea will help to neutralize the garlic smell.
Tips
Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after using any of these methods.
If the garlic smell is particularly strong, you may need to repeat the process.
You can also try using a commercial garlic odor remover.
