Onions contain many useful substances, and without it it is difficult to imagine the preparation of various dishes. However, its pungent smell, which remains on the hands and cutting tools for a long time after shredding, pleases not everyone. You can get rid of the smell of onions on your hands using available home remedies.
Necessary
- - lemon juice;
- - vinegar;
- - coffee grounds;
- - salt.
Instructions
Step 1
Take 9% table vinegar, moisten a cotton swab with it, and wipe your hands. This will rid the skin of the onion odor. You can use a special spray in the kitchen, in which a tablespoon of vinegar is diluted in a glass of water. Spraying this product on hands and work surfaces that come into contact with onions will destroy the odor. In addition, vinegar helps to further disinfect and kill germs.
Step 2
Moisten your hands with water, then massage them with a little fine salt for a few seconds. After that, rinse your skin with water and the smell of onions on your hands will disappear. Used coffee grounds, which are also massaged into the skin, are even more effective against this aroma.
Step 3
Mix in a solution of two glasses of water, a tablespoon of salt, and a teaspoon of baking soda. Soak your hands in this solution for a couple of minutes. In this solution, you can also wash knives or cutting boards, with the help of which onions were chopped.
Step 4
Take a lemon, cut it in half, and rub your hands thoroughly with the cut. Lemon juice will help remove the smell of onions. You can simply squeeze out a couple tablespoons of lemon juice and wash your hands with it.
Step 5
Purchase a special liquid soap for your kitchen that has properties to fight off harsh odors. Some manufacturers position such products specifically for the kitchen, as they deal with odors more easily. If odor is present after the first wash, wash your hands again.
Step 6
A rather peculiar folk remedy suggests using any stainless steel item that you need to rub your hands with. The onion smell will disappear, but then the skin will smell like iron.
