Brilio.net - The fishy smell of fish is a problem that is quite disturbing in the cooking process. The unpleasant aroma can stick strongly to kitchen utensils and hands used to process fish. Using soap to wash hands is apparently not effective enough to remove the fishy smell that sticks.
Many people have found a natural solution to overcome the problem of fishy smell that sticks to their hands. Lime is the most frequently used natural ingredient to remove the fishy smell. The citrus content in lime has the ability to neutralize the unpleasant aroma of fish.
An interesting alternative was found when limes were not available at home. This solution was shared through a video upload on the Myfaa Channel YouTube channel which shows the use of simple ingredients as a substitute for soap and limes.
BrilioFood quoted on Friday (13/12), the method shown in the video offers a practical way to remove the fishy smell from hands.
At the beginning of the video, he admitted that his hands had a very disturbing fishy smell. After investigating, it turned out that this was because he had just cut up tuna to cook.

To get rid of the fishy smell on his hands, he didn't wash them directly with soap or lime juice. Instead, he used a simple ingredient, toothpaste. Surely this ingredient is already at home, right?

Put enough toothpaste on your hand, then spread it evenly. Make sure the toothpaste is completely covered all over your hand.

If it feels even, let it sit for a while so that the toothpaste is completely absorbed. After that, hands can be rinsed directly with running water.

Reported from mybackyardlife.com, toothpaste is useful for eliminating bacteria when used. Well, not only on the teeth, bacteria on the hands that cause fishy odor will also disappear when smeared with toothpaste. As a result, even without using soap or lime, the fishy odor on the hands disappears without a trace.
