This works really well to remove onion, garlic, oil, etc. scents, but it does leave behind a metal-y smell. I prefer to have that than the food smell, so I'm pleased with the outcome.I purchased two of these, the soap bar and fish-shaped bar. They hold up for yearrrsssss, so the value for the money is fantastic. It's easy to use. The size is smaller than you'd expect, but perfect for how you'd use it. The appearance is nice, but I ended up needing a soap dish to hold and drain the product.

This product really works. Removes onion smell from hands as soon as you rub in hands like a bar soap. Amazing how fast

Not sure of the science behind this littlemetal bar, but it completely works. I gotso tired of washing my hands with soapto get rid of smell of garlic, onions and peppers which didn’t work but this weird looking metal bar instantly takes away these odors. I liked it so much I bought several and gave them to family members.

I hate smelling onions and garlic on my hands. Even after washing them a few times, I can often still smell it overnight. Yuck. This works beautifully!

Using this after chopping onions or garlic has cut down on the lingering smell on my hands

Interesting product. Seems counter intuitive to wash my hands with a metal bar but it works! Works well, removes all food odours from my hands.

This odd piece of stainless steel actually worked. Hubby's hands stank from chemcials he used at work and no amount of soap or perfume would help. This has helped so much and has taken the smell off. No idea how it works but it does and that is good enough.

Yes, it actually works. I don't know if it's actually a genuine "chemical reaction" that's neutralizing sulfur compounds, but SOMETHING is happening. The end result is the same - less nasty smells. I've used it for:-Fish-Onions-Garlic-B.O.-Many other lingering smells you can imagineSo far, I haven't found anything it hasn't worked on. You can (and should) combine with soap and use it for about 15-30 seconds. The soap makes it so that it doesn't catch your skin or rip out any hair. I'm prone to "sweating out" onion smell when I workout especially. Sometimes it lingers even after a regular shower. This bar fixes that and has made my workout shirts smell better over time. That alone has made it worth it. I also take cissus quadrangularis, a joint support that makes my B.O. smell slightly curry-like. This fixes that as well. Just buy it and see for yourself.The one con is that it needs more surface area/topography like the "rub-away" lettering. It's a bit too smooth to really work into your hands/skin/etc. Also, if you keep it in the shower, you'll end up dropping it due to the smoothness at some point.Pros: -It works-Low-cost-Virtually immune to dropping on tile in the shower-No rust or sharp edgesCons: -Needs more topography for gripping-Makes you believe in magic.

So, here I am, standing shirtless in front of the kitchen sink, rubbing my sweaty armpit with a bar of wet steel and asking myself, "What am I doing?" So, let me think back to when I first purchased this bar.The [bar of steel] claims to remove foul odors from your hands, specifically onion and garlic. I was dubious. But, I have seen stranger ideas work, so I performed a blind test. I asked a family member to give a rating of 0 (no smell) to 5 (strongly onion-y) after I rubbed my hands with freshly cut onions and performed one of the following:1. No action - Hands rated 5.2. Washed with steel bar and water - Hands rated 2. Steel bar rated 4.3. Washed with soap and water - Hands rated 0.4. Washed with water only - Hands rated 5.*The family member was not aware of what technique was used. Fresh onions were used before each test and my hands were gently dabbed dry with a clean towel after each technique.Conclusions:1. Steel and water seems to transfer the smell of onions to the steel.2. Soap and water is more effective on hands and was required to clean the steel bar.3. It is simpler and more effective to use soap and water than steel and water...and soap and water.Some users mentioned that the steel bar was effective on body odors as well. So, here I am, standing in front of a sink after a delightful day without deodorant or personal hygiene, and preparing to stick my nose into my armpit after rubbing it with a bar of wet steel....:ahem: The steel bar does not seem to reduce the *cough* odor, and now the steel bar smells like my armpit. And so does my hand. This steel bar has failed to impress. My body odor is certainly impressive, though. So, let's try soap and water....Hey, my armpit smells clean! My hand, too! And it worked on the steel bar, too! Wow, this soap and water stuff is great! I definitely recommend using soap and water to remove foul odors. Not steel though. Unless you use soap and water with it.Might make a fun gift, though. Even better if you can convince the recipient to try it on their armpits and sneak a photo of them rubbing a bar of steel under their arm in front of the kitchen sink. Now there's a gift that keeps on giving.

I have no clue how this bar works, all I can say is that it does.I was expecting it to be a stocking filler that never really got used but it is a permanent fixture by our kitchen sink.Onions, fish, garlic...all the smells gone instantly. And we cook Italian all the time, so everything starts with garlic.Its amazing
