Remove Garlic Scent

	To remove the scent of garlic from hands, rub the skin with a piece of stainless steel flatware while holding hands under warm, running water. Lemon juice or lemon infused water is also effective in removing garlic odors from skin, and lemon detergents or laundry soap will remove any traces of garlic from clothing or kitchen towels.
