How to Remove Garlic Smell from Fingers

Quick and Easy Techniques

Water and Stainless Steel

Under warm running water, rub your fingers back and forth on a stainless steel surface, such as a sink or countertop. The sulfur compounds in garlic react with the metal, neutralizing the odor.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Rub a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar on your cupped hands. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.

Baking Soda and Salt

Mix 2 parts baking soda with 1 part salt. Dampen your hands and rub the mixture on your fingers. Rinse with water or wash with soap and water.

Additional Tips

• Avoid touching your eyes or nose with garlic-scented hands.
• Wash your hands with a strong-smelling soap, such as lemon or peppermint.
• Rinse your hands with cold water after using these techniques.
• If the odor persists, try using a commercial odor remover designed for hands.
