How can I remove the strong smell of ingredients like garlic of fish? I love to eat these but hate having that all day long on my hands…

Editor: here are 3 alternatives to fix this odor problem:

1. Simply rub your hands on a steel surface like a stainless steel sink, faucet or a knife.

2. Just have an anti-odor stainless steel soap. Pass it under a stream of cold water and rub the entire surface of your hands for a minute. Efficiency guaranteed. You can purchase a steel soap in specialty stores and even in some supermarkets.

3. Rub your hands with lemon juice and rinse with cold water.
