How do I get this onion smell off of my hands? email this discussion to a friend?

penatio (8)6 months ago

I was helping my mom make dinner and I chopped a few onions. My hands stink and I have washed my hands twice now, but hte smell won´t go away.

Is there anything I can do to make the smell go away?

Thanks in advance

Hi. Try soaking your hands in lemon or lime juice for a little while, and then wash them again. I have found that this actually works pretty well. I have also heard of people using tomato juice. I have never tried this though so I'm not too sure how well it works. Hope this helps, good luck:)

Oh I also just remembered, you can also try making a paste out of either salt and cold water, or baking soda and cold water. Rub this all over your hands for about five minutes and then rinse. I have found this method also works quite well.

That´s a good answer, and I´m going to tested the next time I use onion, or garlic, I bet that tip works as well with garlic.

I´m sure those tips will work just fine, because they´re experienced from some people, and even though you didn´t use it, has heared from someone using that, so I think it´ll work fine for me
Thanks!

Rub them with parsley and then wash them thoroughly. Use the brush to get soap under your nails.
I hope this helpshappy

I saw this cooking show and the chef said that washing your hands while holding a knife takes away the smell of onions on your hands. There's a chemical reaction that takes the smell away.
