One odor that is very annoying to have on your hands is fish odor. While we all enjoy eating fish but the biggest drawback is that in the preparation, you have to handle fish lots of times and that leaves you with hands stinking of fish the whole day. One of the very helpful household tips of many for removing fish odor is your common table salt. I know, it came as quite a surprise to me as well, when I first discovered it.

All you have to do is to put a couple of tablespoons of salt in your hands, wet the salt with a little water, rub your hands with this mixture a few times and then rinse your hands normally. Then put on some hand lotion to moisturize your hands and that awful fish smell will disappear immediately. One more advantage of washing your hands in this manner is that the salt rubs off all the dead skin on your hands to leave them gentle and soft.
