Why garlic smell lingers

Garlic releases sulphur compounds that stick to the skin and are difficult to remove with soap alone.

Simple method

What to do:

• Rub your hands on stainless steel (like a spoon or sink)
• Rinse with water

Why this works

The stainless steel reacts with the sulphur compounds, helping neutralise the smell.

Extra tip

You can also use lemon juice for additional freshness.
