  • 'Orrible pong!

    I've been using some well percolated nettle tea in the garden this afternoon and I can't get the 'orrible pong off my hands. I've given them a good scrub using a nail brush, but the pong remains. It's terrible. I can't pick my nose without gipping. Is there anything that will remove the offending aroma?

        If you shower in Comfrey tea that will remove it...

        I use a fresh lemon, cut it in half and rub that over my hands

          I think you should patent a cure for stopping children picking their noses!

                  That's actually very good advice. Water that has pooled up over a period of time i.e. in a garden water butt, especially when exposed to the warmth of the sun, can soon harbour bacteria and the like ...So gloves are a good idea and washing in clean tap water before eating.

                      It needs to be hot water, with soap, to kill bacterials.


                      Or, the OP could buy a watering can, so he doesn't have to use his hands to water the garden. Says me, who regularly sloshes the stuff inside her wellies.


                      .... and I'll recount the tale, once again, how I chased a taxi on my bike after he served up some particularly unpleasant abusive language to me (for daring to be a bike in the bike lane): when I caught him at the lights, I turned myself around, flung an open bottle of comfrey tea inside his cab, and legged it

                          you could always try rubbing a bit of toothpaste into your hands then wash it off with soap and hot water, normally works for me

                            I agree - I find lemon is really good for smells like garlic on my hands. Vinegar works too. And Bread Soda (mix in water and soak the hands for a few minutes). It might also help with teas like nettle etc. I have to say that for me, though, the answer is to use cheap waterproof gloves (like 'Handies') or avoid getting hands into it.

                            Then again, the old answer of having everyone wash in it might solve the problem.

                              If i'm cuting onions or garlic i always wash my hands with soap and hot water then rub them over the metal kitchen sink - the stainless steel helps get rid of the smell!
