Rub a lemon on your hands afterwards and it will take out the garlic smell!

Yep, lemon juice is the only thing that works for me.

In the same vain, Bath & Body makes an antibacterial hand soap called Kitchen Lemon that works really well & I LOVE it. I wish they made the other products in this scent as well. But i keep this soap at my kitchen sink. Lovely

Weird but after I wrote this I took my son to the Dr.'s there was a reponse to the same question with an explaination of the breakdown of garlic and the two components that make your hands smell. They recommended to first wash your hands with soap and water, then rub your hands with veggie oil, and finally rewash hands. Sooooo, if you ever don't have a lemon handy you can try this also. Now, I'm off to get rid of the garlic smell.

How much are you getting on your hands? I know you have to break up the pieces, but do you have a garlic press or are you cutting it up with a knife?? Garlic presses are really awesome and you don't have to touch the fresh garlic if you have one, it just squeezes it out and you can use a knife to get the skin out. Garlic Press
Here is a good one from bed bath and beyond!!

Also, if you have a metal sink, just rub your hands along it...does the same thing.

If you have garlic taste in your mouth, suck on a spoon. Weird but it works!

Weird really??? Now I can't wait to try this?

You don't need to buy a special bar to rub away the garlic smell. You can rub your hands on a stainless steel spoon too.

Also, as soon as you're done touching the garlic, wash your hands. If you wash your hands before the garlic juices on your hands dries, you shouldn't have a problem. HTH!
