How to Get Bleach Smell Off Hands

You dutifully scrubbed every surface until it shined to prepare for guests and now your hands smell overwhelmingly like bleach. The house smells fresh as it sparkles from your efforts, but your hands smell like a heavily chlorinated swimming pool. The odor of bleach on your hands smells antiseptic, off putting, and might even engage your gag reflex as you sit down for dinner.

How do you remedy hands that smell strongly of a job well done?

Bleach contains chlorine which is a strong alkali. The pH of alkalis neutralizes naturally when combined with any acid. However, in combining both alkali and acid it is possible to release harmful gasses. To reduce the chance of producing and inhaling a harmful gas, prior to applying any of these smell reduction methods be sure to rinse your hands throughly with tepid or cool water for a few minutes to reduce the amount of physical chemical remaining on your skin.

While all of these methods with eliminate or reduce the smell of bleach on your skin, many of the offered remedies carry their own odors. Select the solution that best meets your needs!

How to Get Rid of Bleach Smell on Hands

1 Splash with White Vinegar

Natures all purpose acidic cleanser neutralizes the bleach smell quickly and easily. Simply soak hands in 1:1 vinegar and water solution to reduce and remove bleach odor. Your hands may smell a little like vinegar after treatment, however the familiar salad dressing-like odor evaporates from skin more quickly than the heady chemical smell of bleach.

2 Lemon or Orange Squeeze

Similarly, the acid of lemon or orange juice helps to neutralize the chemical components of the bleach making your hands smell fresh and citrusy. Rub a sliced lemon or orange directly on your affected skin, or squeeze lemon or orange juice into a bowl of lukewarm water and allow your hands to soak in the mixture for a few minutes. Give yourself a full spa treatment and add some rose petals or basil and natural salts to give your hands a luxury bath.

3 Coffee Ground Rub

Use a palm full of dry coffee grounds to remove the chemical bleach odor and replace it with a warm, organic smell. The acid in coffee grounds both cuts the alkali of the bleach chemicals and the grounds absorb the offending odor. Rub the coffee grounds into your skin like an exfoliant, then dust of the grounds into the waste bin. Rinse any excess coffee into the sink. Your hands will smell of coffee, but in a pleasant and homey way far superior to the harsh smell of bleach.

4 Soap with Citric Acid

Lather up with a soap that contains citric acid to most effectively remove a bleach smell. A soap containing citric acid proves a gentle and effective solution for neutralizing the bleach smell, and leaves hands smelling clean and fragrant. Use a high quality hand soap with added moisturizers to relieve your hands of any dryness or chapping created when cleaning with the bleach solution.

5 Coconut or Almond Oil

Moisturize your skin with a subtle, yet fragrant all natural oil like coconut oil or almond oil. While these oils do not chemically neutralize the chlorine in bleach, they do offer a silky smooth scent to mask the odor of the bleach. Unlike store bought moisturizers, natural oils absorb deeply into your skin. Allow time for the oils to saturate and repair the affected area and reapply until skin appears hydrated and the bleach odor fades.

6 Flower Petal Squeeze

Pluck a few rose petals from your garden or centerpiece and rub them between your fingers until your skin absorbs the essential oils. The natural oils and fragrances from the petals serve to mask the bleach odor with a pleasant, natural perfume. Be sure to use nice smelling blooms like rose or honeysuckle, not all flowers smell so sweet!

7 Wear Gloves when Handling Bleach

Don’t forget to wear gloves next time! In the future a good pair of rubber gloves prevents your skin from absorbing the harsh chlorine of bleach in the first place. Not only will wearing gloves as you clean prevent unwanted hand odors, the gloves also protect your skin from the harsh irritation of the chemicals present in bleach cleansers.

Bleach smells strongly and the odor may linger on fingers and palms for days if left unattended. Prevent the absorption of strong bleach odor into skin initially by using gloves and using an appropriate bleach to water ratio to dilute the chemical cleanser. After use, employ your preferred method from above to remove, absorb, and cover the sometimes overwhelming odor of bleach.

How to Get Rid of Patchouli Smell

The unique aroma of patchouli may bring the 60’s to mind. It is extremely strong and has been described as mossy, musty, earthy. People seem to either love it or hate it, and there is very little middle ground. If you happen to fall into the “Hate it” camp, this guide on how to remove patchouli smell is for you.

Patchouli is available as an essential oil and may even be used in some perfumes. If you have already decided that you can’t stand the stuff, you will want to make sure this particular stank doesn’t come anywhere near you. Our guide provides tips to help you deal with getting this reek out of a room, your hair and your car.

How to Get Rid of Patchouli Smell from a Room

1 Vanilla Extract Odor Killer

You can get rid of the smell from patchouli by soaking a rag in vanilla extract and placing it in the room. The vanilla will absorb the odor. Be careful where you place it though; it will stain light-colored fabric items. You may want to place it on an aluminum foil pie plate or an old plate to minimize the likelihood of ruining an object in your room.

2 White Vinegar and Essential Oil Spray

Buy an empty spray bottle. Fill it up with pure white vinegar. Add up to 10 drops of essential oils such as lemon or eucalyptus. You can also use a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you wish. Shake it up and spray it around the room as if you using an air freshener to pull the stanky particles out of the air and off of any surfaces they have decided to cling to.

3 Borax Odor Remover

Borax is a mineral substance that can be used in the same manner as baking soda to get rid of odors. You can find it in the laundry aisle at a grocery store. Sprinkle some of the product on your carpet. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Sweep up as much of the product from the surface of the floor as you can, and then vacuum the rest to avoid clogging your machine.

Remove Patchouli Smell from Hair

1 Degreaser Recipe

If your scalp stanks, mix up a batch of this homemade degreasing recipe to deal with the funk factory on your head. Start by combining a quart of white vinegar or 3% hydrogen peroxide (if you choose peroxide, it may bleach your hair). Add 1/4 cup of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of dish detergent. Mix together and wash your hair with the recipe. Rinse with cool water.

2 White Vinegar-Shampoo One-Two Punch

Another way to deal with smelly hair is to wash with white pure white vinegar. It will cut through the oil and help to get rid of the stank. Follow up by washing with your regular shampoo. As the hair dries, the smell from the vinegar will become much less noticeable.

3 Dish Soap Cleanser

Wash the hair with dish soap instead of your regular shampoo. These types of products are made to cut through grease and should do a good job of getting rid of the Patouchi smell. Since they will also strip the hair of its natural oils, you will want to follow up with some hair conditioner. Be generous with the stuff and leave it in place for several minutes to restore some moisture to the hair.

Get Rid of Patouchi Smell from a Car

1 Dish Detergent and Water Scrub Down

To remove the smell of patouli oil from a car, wipe down all the non-fabric surfaces with a solution of dish detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Repeat the process with a fresh batch of water and detergent.

2 Club Soda Spray

Make your own low-cost deodorizing spray out of a can of plain club soda. Put it in a spray bottle and spritz all the upholstery in the car until it is quite wet. The bubbles will penetrate the fabric and help loosen the dirt. Vacuum the seats with a wet/dry vacuum. Brush baking soda onto the fabric with a stiff brush and leave it overnight. Vacuum it up the next day. Spray the seats with a fabric refresher spray and leave the windows open until they dry.

10 Smelliest Personality Types

Do you have a smelly personality? That is not a question that is asked in polite company, is it? It’s possible that you may have certain traits or interests that make you more susceptible to stank. You wouldn’t knowingly want to offend anyone by being too funked out. If people are starting to avoid you for no good reason, your B.O. may be to blame. Check out this list of the 10 smelliest personality types to see if you (or someone you know) made the list.

The smelly personalities here are ranked according to the level of P.U. factor they inflict on the people around them. The more discomfort they have the potential to cause to others with their level of stankiness, the higher they placed on our completely unscientific scale. Do you agree with our assessment? Check out our findings below:

10 Smelliest Personality Types

10 Old People

If you live long enough, you will experience Old People smell first hand. Unfortunately, by this point your own sense of smell will likely have deteriorated a bit. You won’t be able to realize that you fall into this category. The irony is that no one thinks they have the stale scent that is Old People smell. If your friends tell you that you do, please believe them.

9 Tree Hugger

If you are a Tree Hugger, it doesn’t necessarily mean are totally living in Stinkville. While you may have decided to forego using commercial deodorant, you may be using alum crystal products instead. (At least, we hope you are.) You may see sweating as a natural detoxification method. The rest of us know that not everything that is natural smells good.

8 Athlete

If you are an Athlete, you know all about giving your all for your sport. This includes breaking a sweat, and sweat stinks. If you want to be known as a force to be reckoned with in any type of sport, you need to push yourself to go “faster, higher, stronger.” Embrace your own stankiness and be the athlete you were meant to be. If you can’t be an athlete, you can always be an athletic supporter.

7 Camper

If you are a Camper, you are drawn to the Great Outdoors. Roughing it in the bush gets your adrenalin going. The issue with that as far as stink is concerned is that you are probably in touch with your Inner Mountain Man (or Woman), too. Personal hygiene is for sissies, and you want to have the full experience of getting close to nature. Your personal nature in the form of stank packs quite a punch, too, so you will need to hit the shower if you want to assimilate back into civilized society.

6 Pot Head

If you are a Pot Head, read this slowly. (There is a reason they call the stuff dope.) You and your clothing will give off the same sickly sweet smell as the Mary Jane you enjoy puffing away on. The stuff will also stick to your hair. You may want to think about that the next time you light up a J.

5 Sex Addict

If you’re a sex addict, you do more than your fair share of thinking about this most personal of bodily functions. It made our stinky personality list for a couple of reasons. For one thing, you are spending an inordinate amount of time having sex (either alone or with a partner). We figure this means you are more inclined to be sweaty than the average Joe or Jane. The second reason has to do with the funky bodily fluids you will be exposed to because of your addiction. Nuff said.

4 Chain Smoker

If you are a Chain Smoker, you already know that nicotine is harmful to your health. The smell from tobacco is another harmful issue. It clings to your hair, clothing and breath like an annoying little sister when you are trying to impress a hot date. If you light up at home, the smoke can stink up your furniture. You have the potential to be surrounded by a wall of self-created tar and nicotine gas. Nice, huh?

3 Perfume Addict

If you are a Perfume Addict, you have an issue with smelling like a human being. Rather than embracing your natural perfumes (or lack thereof), you try to embellish it by adding fragrance. In some cases, you may throw on multiple layers of perfumed products before you leave the house in the morning in an effort to look attractive. A cloud of sweet stank is still stank, my friend. Your friends probably won’t care enough to tell you, but you aren’t doing yourself any favors by bathing in the stuff.

2 Slob

If you are a Slob, your lack of self-esteem may be at the root of your slovenly appearance and your stank issues. You may also simply not know the basics of personal hygiene. Some people may not realize how badly their home-grown man or woman-stank smells (if you can believe it). The good news is that Slob-ism may not be a permanent condition. This may only be a passing phase for some people.

1 Hoarder

If you are a Hoarder, you have a compulsion to acquire stuff. You may focus on household items, collectibles, or animals. When you can’t bear to throw anything out, stuff is going to build up in your house. Not only will your “collection” end up being the cause of stank in your crib, but you will find it hard to keep yourself clean. For these reasons, Hoarder gets the dubious honor of the No. 1 spot on our list of the Smelliest Personality Types.

How to Get Smell Out of Pyrex Containers and Lids

Pyrex containers are a great addition to any kitchen. They are a convenient way to store, heat and serve all kinds of food items. Unfortunately, as anyone who has ever cleaned out the fridge knows, there are times when items get caught forgotten and we find mystery packs instead of attractive, well-marked food packages inside. It’s almost tempting to toss the whole container rather than play, “What was it?” with the food experiment trapped inside. Depending on how long the stuff has been caught in the container, you may end up with a slimy soup, and the stink defies description. It just stinks.

There is no need to sacrifice good containers simply because they absorbed some nasty food odors along the way. Not all reeky plastic situations have to do with a lengthy stay in the fridge. The plastic used to make these containers can also absorb strong food odors. Check out the solutions listed here to find out how you can remove the stank from your Pyrex containers and lids and restore them to their former sweet smelling state.

How to Get Smell Out of Pyrex Containers and Lids

1 Bleach the Stink Out

Soak the container and lid in a solution of bleach and hot water. If the plastic is stained and stinky, the bleach will look after the stench, but may not bring the plastic back to its original, pristine color. Soak the items for several minutes to give the bleach time to work. You can even leave them in the water overnight. Rinse thoroughly in cool water before using.

2 Rub the Surface with Lemon

Citrus juice can help to get rid of various kinds of funk from surfaces. Start by cutting a lemon. Rub the funked-up side of the container with the pulp. Repeat with the lid if it is causing you a problem. Rinse with water and dry.

3 Salt the Problem Away

Start by washing the plastic containers and lids. While they are still wet, coat them in salt. Let the salt sit on the plastic for a few minutes. Rinse and allow to dry. The salt will remove the odor from the plastic.

4 Baking Soda and Water Soak

Soak the plastic containers in a solution of baking soda and water. The baking soda is a good choice, since it will not scratch the surface of the plastic. The items can be soaked for 20-30 minutes or longer, and you should rinse them in warm water to remove all traces of baking soda before using them again.

5 BonAmi Liquid Cleanser Solution

Bon Ami products are available online or at select hardware and other retail stores. The company makes an all-purpose cleaner that can be used to get the smell out of Pyrex containers.

6 Use Vinegar on the Problem

If you are dealing with a strong smell like onion, fill up the container with a solution of three parts water to one part vinegar. Place the lid on the container and leave it on the countertop overnight. Remove the lid in the morning and clean the container with warm water and bleach.

7 Frozen Newspaper Trick

This solution combines a couple of different elements to get a funky smell out of your Pyrex containers. Start by wetting some newspapers with a vinegar and water solution (three parts water to one part vinegar). Crumble up the newspaper and fill up the container. Put the lid on top. Place the container into the freezer and leave it in place overnight. Remove the container from the freezer the next morning and take the paper out. Wash the container in a warm water and bleach solution.

8 Let the Sunshine (and Lemon Juice) In

Start by cutting a lemon in half and rubbing it on the stinky containers and lids. Next, place them outside in a sunny spot for a day or so. The combination of lemon juice and the sun’s rays should effectively banish the stank. You will probably want to wash them out with some dish soap and give them a good rinse before you use them for food storage again.
