If you like to cook, then you have to deal with getting onion or garlic smells on your hands from time to time. I had always heard that rubbing your hands with stainless steel would remove the smell. But, rubbing a typical stainless steel kitchen utensil isn't very practical. Then, I found the Rub-Away Bar by Amco Houseworks. It's shaped like a bar of soap and is perfect for odor removal. Rubbing the bar under warm water removes any odor from your hands. Use after working with onions, fish or garlic and leave the odor with the food, not on your hands!

This is a quick and easy way to rid your hands of smells of seafood, onions and garlic. I wish I had thought of it first!

How often do you avoid cooking with garlic and onions simply because you don't want to deal with your hands smelling like them for days? Soap doesn't work, water doesn't work, nothing but time seems to remove these tough odors, right? Wrong? The Rub-A-Way Stainless Steel Odor Removing Rubbing Bar ($7) removes most garlic, onion, fish and other food odors from your hands almost instantly. Simply rub your hands with this ingenious stainless steel bar under running water just like you would a bar of soap, except no soap is needed. I'm not exactly sure how it works, it's not magic, but stainless steel effectively removes odors. Garlic lovers rejoice!

You can also simply wet and rub your hands/fingertips on a stainless steel sink or faucet. It actually works, try it. (via The Green Head)
