As the author notes, not only is it handy to have a way to get red of that stubborn garlic smell, it's also great to have a natural solution. We're also big fans of anything that doesn't require chemicals:
I always love a chemical-free cleaning solution, especially around the kiddos! (I also don't have one of those stainless steel bars of soap, but we almost always have lemons in the house!)
Here's the process for getting rid of that pungent garlicky smell on your fingers. We can't wait to see the results!
I pulled apart three cloves of garlic and gave them to my older kid to peel. They each gave a clove a nibble (yuck). I minced the rest into smaller pieces.
We all gleefully massaged the garlic pieces to get as garlicky as possible. We then washed our hands and smelled our fingers. My older one declared she smelled like garlic bread. Excellent!
I sliced a lemon in half and we vigorously massaged our food again. This time, it was the citrus. We then rinsed our fingers. All traces of garlic smells were gone!
The kids ate the lemon slices.
The lingering lemony smell faded much faster than lingering garlic smells usually do.
