'Tis the season for smelly kitchen hands, right? It always seems that this time of year I find myself chopping away at clove after clove of garlic, or slaving at the cutting board as I attempt to slice onions "as thin as possible." The result, aside from teary eyes on the onion end, is that it seems like my hands always smell like garlic, onions, or something even funkier from about November onwards. Don't get me wrong: I love being in the kitchen, but I do not love the hand-smell.

10 Simple Kitchen Hacks That Can Remove & Prevent Lingering Food Smells on Your Hands More

Food can smell great before, during, and after cooking. A pot of stew simmering away on the stove will tantalize you all afternoon, and there's nothing better than the smell of fresh-baked cookies lingering in the house for hours. One place you don't want to smell food? On your hands. Chopping garlic, seafood, or any other strong-smelling food can leave you with the scent on your hands for hours, sometimes days afterwards. Personally, I love the smell of garlic, but I still don't want to smell like garlic. Luckily, there are quite a few household items that can prevent or solve this problem
