Looks like this is going to be the only option. The two-night spell in the freezer made no difference, it still pongs as bad as ever, and the sunbathing trick doesn't appear to be working either. :(

Darn it, I like those little jars. :dogeye:

What are they made of ? (Seems like they might make pot pouri candidates for people with vampire hazards.)

Did you check Google? I just searched for "Garlic Odour". There are lots of suggestions. One of which is that to get rid of garlic on your hands, use salt and lemon juice.

You might find something there that you can try.

539234 2007-04-12 03:50:00 Ha - the published cures are only for wimp grade garlic.
FoxyMx is the victim of terminator grade 6 garlic, the stuff that lingers after others wilt.
I suspect her garlic escaped from a government biological warfare experiment.

The jars are made of glass and they are fine, it's the lids that reek . They are tin? or whatever metal lids are made of, with a sort of rubber seal around the inside edge to prevent leakage I suppose .

It's a terminator grade 6 garlic pong for sure . Maybe I should just save them up and put them outside the back door . Might be good for keeping those pesky real estate salesmen and bible bashers away . :D

Thanks Bryan but that was the first thing I tried . Lemon juice is equally as impotent on this biological menace .

I'm going to try a juice of boiled whole cloves now and if that doesn't work, bye bye jars . :stare:

I would of hurled them at the first sign of scent removal resistance. :p

Can't beat Mother Natures' own oxidisation accelerator.

Either that, or use the jars to store incredibly smelly substances, then you won't notice the pong of garlic.
