Rolo Rabbit Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I really hope someone can help! The lid of Rolo rabbit's food box was left off and some time ago rain must have got in making a bit of a mush at the bottom. I decided to tackle it today and as I poured it into the compost heap I must have got some of it on my hands. The resulting smell is a mixture of .. well, I can't describe it. It's like someone has had a bad tummy bug. I've washed my hands 3 times then scrubbed them with lemon juice and finally scrubbed them with antibacterial spray and the smell is still there! Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Sounds horrid Bicarb is supposed to neutralise smells. Could you maybe make a paste with it and smear it on your hands and leave it for a while? I suppose it will wear off eventually Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Rub them with a stainless steel implement such as a spoon etc under running water as that will take the smell away - they sell a stainless steel soap at Lakeland but I use a serving spoon!

gracefruit Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Washing your hands with cold coffee might help, too. I regularly use coffee in deodorising soaps and it works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use the tap itself. It does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolo Rabbit Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Thanks for all your replies. Funnily enough, before I got to try them I was peeling some potatoes and by the end I noticed the smell had gone! Maybe they have some cleansing property. They tasted ok!

The Dogmother Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I use a steel teaspoon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
