How to Remove Garlic Smell from Your Breath and Hands
Do you love the taste of garlic in your food, but hate the lingering smell?
Garlic produces cysteine sulfoxide, which gives it the distinct odor and taste.
These sulfuric compounds are similar to compounds produced by the bacteria that cause bad breath.
The worst part is that the smell of garlic may stay in your lungs for 24 to 48 hours
after you consume it.
Luckily, there are several easy ways to prevent or solve the problem of lingering garlic odor.
1.
Apple
Apples contain oxidizing enzymes, which is why they change color when cut and left exposed
to the air for some time.
These same enzymes can help neutralize garlic odor and get rid of garlic breath.
When you�ve got garlic breath, eat an apple to get rid of it.
Also, drinking a glass of fresh apple juice will do the trick.
2.
Milk
Milk is another natural ingredient that provides a very easy way to neutralize garlic breath.
Simply sip a glass of milk to reduce garlic breath effectively.
3.
Mint Leaves
Mint leaves have a significant deodorizing effect on volatile garlic compounds.
The chlorophyll in mint can help mask the garlic smell.
Chew on some fresh mint leaves and you will have minty fresh breath.
Crush mint leaves with your hands and rub mint juice on your hands to get rid of garlic
odor lingering on your hands.
4.
Parsley
Just like mint, parsley is another herb that can successfully combat garlic breath and
help remove any odor on your hands.
The chlorophyll in it absorbs odors and helps keep you smelling fresh.
5.
Stainless Steel
It may sound strange, but using stainless steel is one of the best ways to combat garlic
odor on your hands as well as in your mouth.
Rub your hands against a stainless steel surface for a few minutes, then rinse your hands with
water and notice the smell has disappeared.
For bad breath, run a small stainless steel object (like a spoon) all around the inside
of your mouth, including on your entire tongue and the sides.
6.
Lemon
Another good kitchen ingredient to deal with garlic odor is lemon.
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a cup of water and mix well.
Use this solution to rinse your mouth thoroughly to reduce the garlic odor.
Sip a glass of freshly made lemon water after eating any food that has a strong garlic flavor.
For your hands, rub a lemon rind or lemon juice on them to get the garlic smell off.
7.
Cardamom
The strong aroma of cardamom can help mask the smell of garlic breath.
It will even add a nice smell to your breath.
Chew some green cardamom seeds after enjoying any food that contains lots of garlic.
Also, you can drink a glass of milk with some cardamom powder mixed in it.
8.
Baking Soda
When it comes any kind of bad odor, baking soda is a safe ingredient to try.
Mix 1 teaspoon each of baking soda and sea salt in a glass of warm water.
Use it to rinse your mouth once or twice.
For your hands, mix together 1 tablespoon each of baking soda and lemon juice.
Apply it on your hands.
Leave it on for a couple of minutes, then wash it off with water.
Also, you can sprinkle baking soda on both your palms, rub them together for a minute
and then rinse them off with plain water.
9.
Olive Oil
If you are worried about the garlic smell lingering on your hands after handling garlic,
try olive oil next time.
Apart from olive oil, coconut oil and palm oil also work fine.
10.
Toothpaste
Another good home remedy for removing garlic odor from your mouth or hands is toothpaste.
After eating a garlic-rich meal, brushing your teeth with any mint-flavored toothpaste
goes a long way in not only getting rid of the garlic smell in your mouth but also the
taste.
To get rid of the smell on your hands, put a little toothpaste on them and rub gently.
Then wash your hands with your regular soap.
Additional Tips
To get rid of garlic breath, you can drink some green tea or cinnamon tea.
For your hands, rub some coffee beans or grounds between your hands until the smell is gone.
If you don�t have any cuts on your hands, rub some table salt between your hands, then
rinse them under running water after peeling or chopping garlic.
To prevent getting garlic odor on your hands, wear latex gloves whenever you�re chopping
garlic.
