Stainless Steel Soap?

[El Presidente]

One of the warehouse lads kindly provided me a bar of this Stainless Steel Soap and I have been using it for the past week.

You need to use it pretty much straight after you have finished handling tobacco/fish/chillies etc but by god it works well in removing all odor form ones hands

I have no idea how it works and I was a little sceptical but I am more than pleasantly surprised!

WOW - And here I thought this was a belated April fools joke but after looking it up, it's legit!

[AussieCanuck]

Yep...have a bar myself. It works wonders after chopping garlic etc. Also have no idea how or why it works......but it does !

Old chefs trick. Rub smelly hands on the bottom of a stainless sink with cold fresh water and all odor is gone

Supposedly work by binding the sulphur compounds to the steel. Never tried it myself.

Yep works used to rub a stainless spoon on my hands under water after cleaning fish as a kid. Took the smell right off. A trick I learned from my grandfather

hopefully not a noobie question. But does the stainless steel apparatus take on the smell of the fish or onion etc ??

only ask cause it sounds like a handy thing to do but don't want to be eating cereal with a fishy smelling spoon.

I works well. Chemistry at its finest:) After you use the stainless you just rinse it off w soap & water and it carries the smell away.

Soap does not dissolve "things" , "things" bind to soap molecules and get washed away when you rinse your hands or in this case stainless.

Don't know about tobacco but with onions and garlic they contain sulfur molecules which water and soap usually makes them stronger the molecules in the stainless bond with the sulfur weakening the smell hydrogen peroxide mixed with baking soda and distilled water also works well ok red neck chemistry lesson for the day lol
