getting onion smell off your hands

Rub your hands with lemon juice then wash them with soap and water. I guarantee you that they'll once again smell like your own hands and not at all like onions. Lemon juice can eliminate loads of odors you pick up cooking. Try it to combat seafood and garlic odors, too.

Hey Mooch that happens to me too. Pour some lemon juice on your hands. Then wash them with soap. If it doesnt work do it again.

vinager!! rub your hands with vinegar then wash them like you usually do...I do it all the time when handling onions and it works like a dream for me...also when you cut onions on a cutting board or counter vinegar works the same for that too I've found

You can also rub your hands on a stainless steel spoon under running warm water...like the spoon is a small bar of soap. Sounds weird, I know.

hello mooch

i have heard that rubbing lemon juice on your hands will take the smell of onions or garlic off of your hands like that. do you have any lemon juice?

have a wonderful evening.

I know what you're saying. I use to work in a restuarant. I'd come home everyday with this onion smell on my hands. I'd use lemon juice and the smell would disappear. I have also heard mint leaves removes the smell also.

I remember I started a discussion about get rid of the smell of garlic in your mouth.Onion is different from garlic,but I think maybe my tips of getting rid of garlic smell fit onion too.
You can try soak your hands in the milk for a while,the milk might get rid of it.I drink milk to get rid of the smell of garlic afer eating it.
If that didn't help,there another tip your can try.

You can wash your hands in lemon juice and it will take the onion smell off of them. If you do not have that, then you can mix a little bit of bleacj water and rinse your hands with that also to get the smell off. I would not recommend it though if your hands are sensitive.

You may be able to get rid of the smell with lemon. Rub a half a lemon on your hands.. but I wonder if the onions are actually coming out of your skin from the inside. The skin is often called the 3rd kidney and anything like onions and garlic can seep out through the skin after being metabolized.

Wash your hands with salt or even better id you have some lemon juice put some salt in your hands, squirt with lemon juice and spread over your hands, rubbing in like you would with soap. Rinse and wash, the smell should be all gone sweety! It really works! xxx
