Re: Soap recipe to rid hands of fish smell

[Guest guest]

If you make your favorite soap recipe, use triple strength coffee and coffee

grounds added at trace and you will have a nice soap that removes fishy

smells, garlic too! Just be warned though, when you add the lye to your

coffee water it will be really stinky! But that smell will dissipate in time.

Good luck & happy holidays!

Cheryl,

You might try using a strongly brewed coffee as your water for a batch of soap.

Not sure if that will help with the fish odor - but it does help me when I have

been cooking with onions and/or garlic to rid my hands of those odors. I call it

my " kitchen coffee bar. "

Anise is also a great scent for removing fish smell. I made one with poppy

seeds and called it Hunter's soap. That's Anise EO.

I hate to suggest this since it is not soap, but try lemon juice or cut a lemon

and scrub with the peel after squeezing the juice on the hands. (As a soap

maker, I hate suggesting any thing that is not soap related...course I do use

whole lemons in one soap). Betty

Got this today in an e-zine and wondered of you could make a soap using the

lemon and mustard powder. I'm new here also...been reading posts for about a

month. Haven't tried any soap except the easy glycerine...melt and pour!!!

I'm interested in making my own facial products and cosmetics.

Anyway....here's what I copied from the ezine:

Hand cleanser - to remove fishy smells from hands sprinkle on powdered mustard

and enough lemon juice to make a paste. Rub paste in well and then wash off

with soap and water.

Soap recipe to rid hands of fish smell

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a good soap recipe that will rid

your hands of fish smell. I know anise is supposed to mask the human

odor but I want something that will take the fish smell off the

hands. Thanks in advance, Cheryllove
