Wash your hands with a lemon-scented dish detergent. The lemon scent combined with the tough-on-grease agents will help lift the smell from your hands. Dry your hands well and sprinkle with baby powder. Rub the powder into your skin and wait a few minutes. The smell will be gone.

Rub paste toothpaste, not gel toothpaste, on your hands. Use a dime-size amount and work the paste through your fingers and around your palms. Rinse well. The smell will be gone.
