Nothing gets stomachs growling like the smell of sautéing garlic. And while it is a delicious addition to any recipe, the smell of it is not something you want to have lingering on your hands hours after your meal has been completed. My grandmother used lemon to diminish the scent, which is what I now do, but it’s never fully done the trick, so, I dealt with the lingering smell of garlic on my hands. Until now.

Introducing Rub-Away. Ranked by Today as one of the “11 Best Kitchen Gadgets Under $15,” this amazing device is my favorite new ‘must have’ in the kitchen and is already tucked away as a holiday gift for all the cooks in my life. By using the Rub-Away, the odor of garlic no longer lingers on my hands. Without scrubbing, cutting lemons, or perfumed hand lotion, my hands are garlic free.

Here’s how it works: the Rub-a-Way Bar is made from light-weight, stainless steel – the molecules in the steel bind with the sulfur molecules on your hands, thus transferring the molecules, along with the smell, to the metal and off your hands. The Rub-A-Way Bar can also remove other strong odors, like fish and seafood. Plus, the Rub-A-Way Bar is dishwasher safe — sounds like a win-win to us.
