when you land a box of these kitchen helpers handy, you will be set for the long haul.

Turn on the sink and rub the spoon or fork under cold running water for several seconds.

It’ll get the job done more quickly than massaging a small spoon or fork.

Have You Tried Acidity?

Lemon juice works to remove onion smell due to its acid level.

Remember that bits of onion can work its way under your nails, so pay extra attention.

You might want to use a nail brush just to be sure your cleansing works the way it should.

The bonus to using lemon juice is the lingering smell.

This comes out as a paste, and you will want to coat your hands in this mixture.

Don’t forget to apply between your fingers.

Once your hands are coated, let them sit for a full 30 seconds encased in the salt soap.

When the wait is over, simply rinse under running water.

Not only have you removed onion smell from your skin, you have also exfoliated!

Now you just need to apply the right moisturizer and you are halfway through a fabulous manicure.

Rub your hands together for at least 30 seconds.

We’ll call that a win-win.
