Lemon juice might do it mate?

 

[batty]

Bleach but you may prefer onions.

 

[kerching]

Peanut butter or salt and water paste, or rub your hands on a stainless steel spoon under running water [or use the side of a stainless steel sink]

All sound bizarre BUT they all work...............trust me. I'm an Electrician!

 

[lkayelectrical]

Mint leaves

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Tried the stainless steel & also a silver teaspoon, neither worked

Squeeze a lemon then rub the skins between your hands...

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Dont have any lemons, do have some lemon juice

The lemon juice (out a bottle) worked, thanks guys

Don't wash your hands in warm water after handling smelly foods! They cook into your skin so I was told making it harder to get the smell out.

Best thing to get rid of unwanted smells is to clean the area with diesel.

Works for every smell I can think of,

except diesel, that is. :|

The lemon juice didnt really work. It must have masked the smell because when i was picking my nose in bed later on i could still smell those onions.

Try shaving foam, that used to work when I had been sea fishing and had all of those nasty fishy smells on my hands and it also got rid of the strange dye that used to come out of lugworms when baiting up the fishing hooks.

That is why you keep smelling onions then.

incidentally, do you know why onions make your eyes water when you cut them up?

 

[Megaohm7]

Swarfega!!! Might just do it. Rub it into the hands before wetting them under the tap Or what about Bicarbonate of soda?

 

[husky2013]

Coca cola! Soak hands in it for few mins then rinse with cold water. As the warm water will open the pores on your skin thus allowing your skin to absorb more of the 'smell! Cold water keeps pores closed thus no absorption

 

[OnOff]

Placing an onion in a bucket of water "absorbs" smells in a room e.g. new paint, cats etc. SO........by that reckoning you could sit with your hands in a bucket of water...I'll stop there! :coat
