Hello,

I heard that is you rub some parsley on you're hands this should help.

Also, you could try fresh lemon juice as well.

Hi Frizz,

I always wet my hands,rub salt in,then rinse it off;it works a treat for me! Ihope it does for you.

Rub dog poo on your hands and the garlic smell will magically disappear.

if you have a stainless steel sink then rub your hands on that. In most good kitchen shops you can buy a oval soap sized stainless steel "soap" for this purpose. But if you have a stainless steel sink you save yourself the money. I do it when I've cut chilli, garlic you name it....
Try I'll guarantee it works

Re the previous post - Lakeland (if you're in the UK) sell the garlic ridding soap. here

The problem is the oil & smell from the garlic soaks into your skin the best way to avoid it is to rub a little bit of oil (olive or veg etc.) into the tips of your fingers prior to chopping Garlic (works with chilli etc. too) that way the smell stays on the oil, then you wash the oil off with normal soap etc.

And for future, if you have been chopping garlic or onions, don't rub your hands together under the water when you wash them. Just let the running water wash over your hands for a minute and then pat them dry. As previously said, rubbing them only releses more aroma. My old Catering college lecturer taught me that one...about the only thing I remembered lol
