9 tips to get rid of foul-smelling hands

Use lemon juice Rub freshly squeezed lemon juice on your hands to remove the odour. It has acidic properties that can help to neutralise odours

White vinegar Soak your hands in a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few minutes. This is one of the most effective ways to eliminate unpleasant smells from your hands.

Rub hands with salt You will need to moisten your hands a bit so the salt particles cling to your palms and fingers. When you rub them and rinse them with water, the smell automatically disappears.

Use coffee This is especially helpful for those who love coffee. You can rub some coffee beans or powdered coffee on your hands to get rid of the smell. This can mask the smell of any pungent-smelling food item.

Rub toothpaste on your hands Well just like how it works for your teeth, toothpaste can rid your hands of funny-smelling foods. Just apply a small amount on your palm, rub it nicely and then wash it off.

Tea tree oil Tea tree oil used as an anti-acne product can also help to reduce bacteria and odour from your hands. Add a few drops of the oil to a bowl of water then soak your hands for a few minutes.

Activated charcoal Place activated charcoal, a black and odourless powder, in a bowl. Then place your hands enclosed within the bowl for about 15 to 20 minutes to absorb odours.

Baking soda and vinegar Is there anything that these two super ingredients cannot do? Mix baking soda with vinegar to form a paste and apply that on your hands before washing it off with water. And voila! All the foul smell is gone.

Use mouthwash Rub antiseptic mouthwash between your hands for at least 30 seconds. It will neutralise odours, kill odour-causing bacteria, and leave your hands smelling minty fresh.
