Do you feel like itching yourself against rocks anymore? Do you have the feeling of wanting to eat to no end?

place the clothing, one piece in a time into a large STAINLESS STEEL bowl and run cold water over them, one at a time. It has to be stainless steel or it wont work. Same trick works to get garlic smell off of your hands after chopping it, take a large stainless steel spoon or ladle and run it over your hands while under cold water.

borax added to laundry soap can handle some odors. But I've heard the stainless steel works.

O VILA MESSIS ALIUM... [I think it's Horatius, on a Roman anti-garlic rant...'O thou vile harvest, thou garlic...'...
The poet goes on for numerous verses describing the scent of garlic in wool togas on a hot day in old Roma...

I heard lemons work well. Cut 4 into wedges and wash with the laundry.

Did it work?

So is it safe to say that if you put a SS spoon in your mouth and run cold water in it at the same time you can eliminate Garlic Breath???
