(Scrubbing with coffee grounds will work too if the smell isn't too strong.) You may need to wash, rinse and repeat, but the mouthwash will work.

(Guest Post) I work at a sub shop, and I work with onions almost every day, and I'm sorry to say that none of these tricks work. There are however ways you can get around the smell in general. When you're working with onions, wear gloves! If that's impractical, when you're done using the onions, wash your hands thoroughly in COLD water. Hot water opens the pores in your hands, allowing the odour or onions to get stuck in the pores. Cold water keeps them closed and lets the smell run off. The only trick that may work is rubbing dry baking soda on your hands thoroughly and then washing it off... do it twice, and then rise the second batch off with soap.

I read through the posts and tried rubbing my stainless steel sink and rinsing with cold water. It worked! There is a very slight smell, but nothing like the onions and garlic I just added to a bean soup.

Put them in a cup with a little bit of water until it forms a paste then rub it over your hands. It works quite well if you don't mind your hands smelling like coffee.

Contact Hi Tom, Once you get the onion or garlic on your hands, rinse with cool, not hot water. The hot water seems to make your hands absorb it. Once it has been absorbed, it is much harder to get off. You can also try rubbing baking soda between your hands and around your fingers, that should absorb some of the odor.

Contact When lemon juice won't remove onion smell, I either rub back of stainless steel spoon over hands, while holding both under water, or with water running, I run my hands around my stainless steel kitchen sink. The make up of the stainless steel interacts with the chemicals, causing the onion smell to simply wash away.
