Onion Fingers Smell


Posted: Dec 15, 2014

Wish we had a food board, because on the gab board things get kind of heavy, but for anyone interested: Hubby and I chop onions all the time and have trouble removing the smell from our fingers, no matter what we do with soap and water. Well, I had read somewhere that putting salt on your hands/fingers and mixing with water to make a coarse paste works. And darn it, it works. It's not perfect, because the onion smell gets under the nails, but it sure takes the edge off. Just wet your hands, then sprinkle salt (coarse is best if you have it), and rinse thoroughly while rubbing under cold water. It's not perfect, but it sure helps!;

I have a little stainless steel thing that also gets rid of odors on hands like onion and garlic and even fish. I bought it off Amazon for $2 or $3 a couple years ago. Works great, gets rid of all the odor. It's round, shaped kind of like a specialty bar of soap.

I keep meaning to buy one, lemon juice works as well--sm - anon

The drier your skin is, the more it retains the smell as well. If you have a stainless steel sink, you do not need to buy the handheld thing, just rub your hands on the sink. I never seem to have cheap salt in my place so would probably not be able to use the salt paste.

I have one of those as well, but you could also just use a spoon - rub your fingers on it under running water..nm

What The...is This An Onion Article?Jul 08, 2014
Paul LePage, Maine’s tea party-backed governor, is no stranger to controversy. He’s told the state chapter of the NAACP to kiss his butt, likened the Internal Revenue Service to the Nazi Gestapo, issued blanket gag orders against the state’s largest newspaper chain (whose headquarters he also joked about bombing) and denounced—on camera—a Democratic state senator for always wanting to “give it to the people without Vaseline.”   But this past ...

Okay, this one's good. The Onion satirized the lies put out by a lot of far-right rags by reporting a phony poll, which I Iranian FNA mistook for a real story and reported as the truth.

Help For Hurt Fingers/football ThoughtNov 20, 2009
Hi, all.  Well, most of you know I spent the entire summer sick, starting out with a UTI that I let go for 10 days (living off of OTC Pyridium) until I was peeing sheer blood.  I became septic.  Anyway 9 organ systems were involved.  I got better, broke my foot.  One of my teeth abscessed a couple of weeks ago and the root canal was a piece of cake compared to everything else. Anyway, I ended up in the ER last week after speaking with an RN at my ins. co. and with my PC ...

President Obama Pointing FingersAug 13, 2011
at congress.  I gotta give the president credit...he is an excellent finger pointer.  lol In all honesty though, congress does have to own up to some of the blame here.  However, I don't truly believe Obama blames congress.  I believe he is trying to blame republicans in congress because now there are people opposing the democrats on their views.  I guess my biggest problem with this blame game is that the democrats could have done anything they wanted before the l ...

How Do I Get Rid Of Old Cat Urine Smell?Sep 16, 2013
Long story short, we had a male cat in our house for 3 years. Before he was fixed, he sprayed or urinated everywhere. This cat has been gone for over 2 years (roommate moved out and got rid of cat because we did not want it after all that mess but he went to a very nice home so he is happy). Anyway, since the cat left 2+ years ago, we have repainted every room in our house with that Refresh paint, shampooed every carpet 2-3 times a year, threw out anything he peed on, ripped up carpet in the din ...

Loss Of SmellJan 30, 2015
Anybody had this or know of someone who did?  About 1.5 years ago I got a sinus infection, turned into bronchitis and I was sick for seriously four months.  Now, still to this day I have very little sense of smell.  My sense of smell may come back in very short spurts, and by short I mean 10-15 seconds.  I may catch a whiff of perfume or something and then right back to zero smell.  I can stick something as strong as coffee under my nose and smell nothing.  I can st ...

It's a sad, sad day when kids aren't allowed to play. Really, really getting out of control. Such stupid reactions. The poor kids of today can't have any fun or play any kind of game anymore. No wonder they are always playing video games and/or watching TV. Nothing else for them to do! Then our politicians want kids to play for exercise instead of the video games or TV.  They're trying to ban guns and ammo (2nd Amendment) but won't do a darn thing about VIOLEN ...
