How do you remove the onion smell from hands?!


Question: How do you remove the onion smell from hands!?
After eating or dealing with onions, of course the smell is on my hands and it seems to stay forever and survive through everything, leaving me embarrassed and having the need to explain myself to friends or co workers who get close to me!. How can I get rid of the smell if I am on the go!. I know I can just not eat onions, I know that is an option, but I love them and would rather not pass!. ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
1!. Wear gloves!.

2!. Peeling the onion and then chilling it in the refrigerator before you slice!. Cook the onion before you slice it!. Another easy solution is to cut the onion underwater or run the tap over it as you slice!.

3!. Rub your hands against stainless steel metal (a kitchen sink works well) under cold running water for about a minute; rubbing with a large metal spoon works, too!. You can buy stainless steel "soaps" They don’t cost much and they really work!.

4!. If you don’t have steel handy, you can make a paste of baking soda, (bicarbonate of soda) and water and rub it over your hands, then wash off!.

5!. Squeeze toothpaste or pour a small amount of mouthwash on one palm, then rub your hands together!. Rinse with water!.


6!. Squeeze the juice of lemons into a bowl!. Dip your hands in for 3 minutes, then rinse off!. Your hands will smell like fresh lemons instead of onions!

TIP
Make sure to use cold water for most of your rinsing; when you wash your hands in warm water, it opens up the pores in your hands and traps in the onion smell!.

WARNING
- Don't cut yourself while chopping ANYTHING
- Don't rub or touch your eyes while or after chopping onions before you wash your hands
